Currently we face test suite failures in different environments,
because of a conflict between the definitions of isnan by gnulib, and
by the C++ library:

There might be something to do in gnulib about this, but I believe
that gnulib should not be used in the test suite in the first place.
The test suite should work with other compilers than the one used to
compile the package. For a start, Bison sources are more
demanding (C99) than the generated parsers. Last time I tried, tcc
for example, was not able to compile Bison, yet our generated parsers
should compile cleanly with it.
Besides the problem at hand is with the C++ compiler, with is not the
one used to set up gnulib at configuration-time (config.h is mainly
built from probing the C compiler).
We should really not depend on gnulib in tests.
This was introduced in 2001 to check whether including
stdlib.h/string.h is safe thanks to STDC_HEADERS
(2ce1014469). Today, we assume at least
a C90 compiler, it should be safe enough.
* tests/local.at, tests/testsuite.h: Do not include config.h.
* tests/atlocal.in (conftest.cc): Likewise.
(CPPFLAGS): Do not expose lib/, as because of this we might picked up
gnulib replacement headers for system headers.
* tests/input.at: Use int instead of ptrdiff_t, for easier portability
(some machine on the CI did not find ptrdiff_t).
* tests/c++.at: Add missing include for getchar.

* tests/atlocal.in: Receive it.
* data/skeletons/d.m4 (api.parser.class): Remove spurious YY.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d (yylex): Return an int instead of a
YYTokenType, so that we can use characters as tokens.

Also, make sure that `make dist` generates a correct tarball even if
the C++ compiler does not work.

This shows that our test, based on gl_WARN_ADD, is a joke. We have to

In C++ pre C++11 it is standard practice to use 0 for the null pointer.
But GCC pre 8 -std=c++98 with -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant warns about
this.
So disable -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant when compiling C++ pre 11.
Let's do this in AT_DATA_SOURCE_PROLOGUE (which is pasted on top of
all the test grammar files). Unfortunately, that shifts all the
locations in the expected error messages, which would be too noisy.
Instead, let's introduce testsuite.h, which can vary in length, and
include it in AT_DATA_SOURCE_PROLOGUE.
* tests/testsuite.h: New.
Disable -Wzero-as-null-pointer-constant's warning with GCC pre 8,
C++ pre 11.

* tests/atlocal.in (CPPFLAGS): Find it.
* tests/local.mk: Ship it.
* data/c.m4 (YY_NULLPTR): Prefer ((void*)0) to 0 in C.
This is much of course more efficient than in the matrix of the CI (or
on our own machines), but a bit more tedious.

* tests/c++.at: Use AT_FOR_EACH_CXX.
Modern C++ (i.e., C++11 and later) introduced "move only" types: types such
as std::unique_ptr<T> that can never be duplicated. They must never be
copied (by assignments and constructors), they must be "moved". The
implementation of lalr1.cc used to copy symbols (including their semantic
values). This commit ensures that values are only moved in modern C++, yet
remain compatible with C++98/C++03.
Suggested by Frank Heckenbach, who provided a full implementation on
top of C++17's std::variant.
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2018-03/msg00002.html,
and https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2018-04/msg00002.html.
Symbols (terminal/non terminal) are handled by several functions that used
to take const-refs, which resulted eventually in a copy pushed on the stack.
With modern C++ (C++11 and later) the callers must use std::move, and the
callees must take their arguments as rvalue refs (foo&&). In order to avoid
duplicating these functions to support both legacy C++ and modern C++, let's
introduce macros (YY_MOVE, YY_RVREF, etc.) that rely on copy-semantics for
C++98/03, and move-semantics for modern C++.
That's easy for inner types, when the parser's functions pass arguments to
each other. Functions facing the user (make_NUMBER, make_STRING, etc.)
should support both rvalue-refs (for instance to support move-only types:
make_INT (std::make_unique<int> (1))), and lvalue-refs (so that we can pass
a variable: make_INT (my_int)). To avoid the multiplication of the
signatures (there is also the location), let's take the argument by value.

There are possible conflicts between gnulib replacement functions (in
<stdio.h>) and their C++ wrappers (in <stream>). Trying to address
these in configure seems too hard, and I don't know how to fix the issue
in gnulib. Cowardly avoid the problem by skipping C++ tests when this
happens.

* tests/atlocal.in (BISON_CXX_WORKS): Also set it to "skip" if we can't
compile a simple program using <stream>.
* tests/local.at: Comment changes.
This is based on what is recommended by both Scott Meyers, in 'Effective
C++', and Andrei Alexandrescu and Herb Sutter in 'C++ Coding Standards'.
Use a static_cast on void* rather than directly use a reinterpret_cast,
which can have nefarious effects on objects. However, even though following
this guideline is good practice in general, I am not quite sure how relevant
it is when applied to conversions from POD to objects. Actually, it might
very well be the opposite: isn't this exactly what reinterpret_cast is for?
What we really want *is* to transmit the memory map as a series of bytes,
which, if I am correct, falls into the kind of "low level" hack for which
this cast is meant.
In any case, this silences the warning, which will be greatly appreciated by
anyone using variants with a compiler supporting -fstrict-aliasing.
