Bison supports a union tag, for obscure reasons. But it does a poor
job at it, especially since Bison 3.0.
Reported by Stephen Cameron and Tobias Frost.
It did not ensure that the name was not given several times. An easy
way to do this is to make the %union tag be handled as a %define
variable, as they cannot be defined several times.
Since Bison 3.0, the synclines were wrongly placed, resulting in
invalid code. Addressing this issue, because of the way the union tag
was stored (as a code muscle), would have been tedious. Unless we
rather define the %union tag as a %percent variable, whose synclines
are easier to manipulate.
So replace the b4_union_name muscle by the api.value.union.name
%define variable, document, and check.
* data/bison.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name has a keyword value.
* data/c++.m4: Make sure that api.value.union.name is not defined.
* data/c.m4 (b4_union_name): No longer use it, use api.value.union.name.
* doc/bison.texi (%define Summary): Document it.
* src/parse-gram.y (union_name): No longer define b4_uion_name, but
api.value.union.name.
* tests/input.at (Redefined %union name): New.
* tests/synclines.at (%union name syncline): New.
* tests/types.at: Check named %unions.
Reported by Rich Wilson.
* data/c.m4 (b4_symbol_type_register): Append to b4_union_members,
not b4_user_union_members.
The latter invokes the former, but it is the former which is reinitialized
to empty by b4_value_type_setup_union.
* tests/types.at: Check it.
This reveals another bug, this time in the case of glr.c parsers.
* data/glr.c: Generate the header file before the implementation file,
to be sure that the setup is run before what depends on it.

Instead of generating invalid C code, generate an error when --yacc and
'%define api.value.type union' are used together.
* data/bison.m4: Issue an error in this case.

Promote the use of 'bison -o y.tab.c'.
Provide a means to dereference pointers when defining tags. One
example could be:
%code requires
{
typedef struct ListElementType
{
union value
{
int intVal;
float floatVal;
char* charptrVal;
} value;
struct ListElementType* next;
} ListElementType;
}
%union
{
ListElementType* list;
}
%token <list->value.charptrVal> STRING
%token <list->value.intVal> INTEGER
%token <list->value.floatVal> REAL
%type <list> ElementList LiteralType
