* NEWS: Instead of %union, you can define and use your own union type

YYSTYPE if your grammar contains at least one <type> tag.
Your YYSTYPE need not be a macro; it can be a typedef.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Value Type, Multiple Types, Location Type):
(Union Decl, Decl Summary): Document this.
* data/glr.c (YYSTYPE): Implement this.
* data/glr.cc (YYSTYPE): Likewise.
* data/lalr1.cc (YYSTYPE): Likewise.
* data/yacc.c (YYSTYPE): Likewise.
* src/output.c (prepare): Output tag_seen_flag.
* src/parse-gram.y (declaration, grammar_declaration):
Use 'union_seen' rather than 'typed' to determine whether
%union has been seen, since grammars can now be typed without
%union.
(symbol_declaration, type.opt, symbol_def):
Keep track of whether a tag has been seen.
* src/reader.c (union_seen, tag_seen): New vars.
(typed): remove.
* src/reader.h (union_seen, tag_seen, typed): Likewise.
* src/scan-code.l (untyped_var_seen): New variable.
(handle_action_dollar): Adjust to above changes.
(handle_action_dollar, handle_action_at):
Improve overflow checking for outlandish numbers.
* tests/input.at (AT_CHECK_UNUSED_VALUES): Redo test to
avoid new diagnostics generated by above changes.
* tests/regression.at (YYSTYPE typedef): Add test to check
for type tags without %union.
