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.

* configure.ac (warn_common, warn_c, warn_cxx): New.
Use them to compute independently the options supported
by the C and C++ compilers.
Don't AC_SUBST the variables passed to gl_WARN_ADD: it
does it for us.

$WARN_CFLAGS and $WARN_CXXFLAGS in them now, leave it
to atlocal.in.
(O0CFLAGS, O0CXXFLAGS): Move their definition to...
* tests/atlocal.in: here.
Be more systematic between C and C++.
Reorder to factor between variables.
Propagate all of the variables when --compile-c-with-cxx.
* tests/local.at: Go for colors.
(--compile-c-with-cxx): New option.
We used to pass "CC=$CXX" as command line argument,
but it was not possible to adjust CFLAGS accordingly
in atlocal, since it is loaded before assignments on
the command line are honored (so that the command line
takes precedence).
* tests/atlocal.in: Implement it.
* tests/local.mk: Use it.

This change was made by applying emacs' untabify function to
nearly all files in Bison's repository. Required tabs in make
files, ChangeLog, regexps, and test code were manually skipped.
Other notable exceptions and changes are listed below.
* bootstrap: Skip because we sync this with gnulib.
* data/m4sugar/foreach.m4
* data/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4: Skip because we sync these with
Autoconf.
* djgpp: Skip because I don't know how to test djgpp properly, and
this code appears to be unmaintained anyway.
* README-hacking (Hacking): Specify that tabs should be avoided
where not required.
* NEWS (2.4.2): Update description of -Wundef fix.
* configure.ac (WARN_CXXFLAGS_TEST): New substitution.
(WARN_CFLAGS_TEST): New substitution.
* data/glr.c: Avoid warning about __STRICT_ANSI__.
* tests/atlocal.in (CFLAGS): Use WARN_CFLAGS_TEST instead of
