This is much of course more efficient than in the matrix of the CI (or
on our own machines), but a bit more tedious.

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.

Reported by Derek Clegg.

* configure.ac (warn_tests): Add -Wdeprecated.
* data/lalr1.cc (stack_symbol_type): Add an explicit copy ctor.
We cannot rely on the explicit default implementation (`= default`)
as we support C++ 98.
At least GCC 7.3, with -O1 or -O2 (but not -O0 or -O3) generates
warnings with -Wnull-dereference when using yyformat: it fails to see
yyformat cannot be null.
Reported by Frank Heckenbach, https://savannah.gnu.org/patch/?9620.
* configure.ac: Use -Wnull-dereference if supported.
* data/glr.c, data/lalr1.cc, data/yacc.c: Define yyformat in such
a way that GCC cannot not see that yyformat is defined.
Using `default: abort();` also addresses the issue, but forces
the inclusion of `stdlib.h`, which we avoid.
We use this trick to write some test about internal details. But
since we use -Werror, clang++ 3.6 dies issueing a warning about it.
* configure.ac (warn_tests): Disable this warning.
There are warnings (-Wextra) in generated C++ code:
ltlparse.cc: In member function 'ltlyy::parser::symbol_number_type
ltlyy::parser::by_state::type_get() const':
ltlparse.cc:452:33: warning: enumeral and non-enumeral type in
conditional expression
return state == empty_state ? empty_symbol : yystos_[state];
Reported by Alexandre Duret-Lutz.
It turns out that -Wall and -Wextra were disabled because of a stupid
typo.

-Wsign-compare was disabled for bison's own code, following gnulib's

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.
* data/variant.hh (as): Here.
* tests/c++.at (Exception safety, C++ Variant-based Symbols, Variants):
Don't use NO_STRICT_ALIAS_CXXFLAGS (revert commit ddb9db15), as type punning
is no longer an issue.
* tests/atlocal.in, configure.ac (NO_STRICT_ALIAS_CXXFLAGS): Remove
definition.
* examples/local.mk (NO_STRICT_ALIAS_CXXFLAGS): Remove from AM_CXXFLAGS.
* doc/bison.texi: Don't mention type punning issues.
The syncline tests, which try to recognize compiler diagnostics,
are confused by escapes for colors.
* configure.ac (warn_tests): New, to factor the warnings for both
C and C++ tests.
Add -fno-color-diagnostics to it.
* tests/local.at (AT_TEST_TABLES_AND_PARSE): Do not remove glue
