24d96dd3eb errors: indent "result type clash" error context
This used to be the format of the error report:

  input.y:6.5-10: result type clash on merge function 'merge': [...]
  input.y:2.4-9: previous declaration

In order to distinguish the actual error from the context provided, we
rather this new output:

  input.y:6.5-10: result type clash on merge function 'merge': [...]
  input.y:2.4-9:     previous declaration

Another patch will introduce an "error: " prefix to all non-indented
lines, giving yet better readability to the reports.

* src/complain.h (SUB_INDENT): Move to here.
* src/reader.c (record_merge_function_type): Use complain_at_indent to
output with increased indentation level.
* src/scan-code.l (SUB_INDENT): Remove from here.
* tests/glr-regression.at: Apply this change.

* THANKS (Dagobert Michelsen): Add.
* configure.ac (AC_PREREQ): Set to 2.64 so we get the latest
Autoconf macro for handling the restrict keyword.
* gnulib: Update to latest, which no longer overrides that macro
from Autoconf.

f39ab2869c portability: fix several issues with M4 subprocess.
M4's output pipe was not being drained upon fatal errors during
scan_skel.  As a result, broken-pipe messages from M4 were seen
on at least AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and RHEL4, and this caused a
failure in the test suite.  The problem was that, on platforms
where the default disposition for SIGPIPE is ignore instead of
terminate, M4 sometimes saw fwrite fail with errno=EPIPE and
then reported it.  However, there's some sort of race condition,
because the new test group occasionally succeeded.
Reported by Albert Chin at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2010-02/msg00004.html>.

There were also problems with the test suite livelocking on
Tru64 5.1b.  Reported by Didier Godefroy at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2009-05/msg00005.html>.
Switching to create_pipe_bidi suggested by Akim Demaille.

To attempt to solve both of these problems, switch to gnulib's
create_pipe_bidi and register M4 process as a slave.  Along the
way, clean up file name conflict handling, which was affected by
the broken-pipe problem before the switch.
* NEWS (2.4.2): Document.
* THANKS (Didier Godefroy): Add.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add pipe.
* gnulib: Update to latest to make sure we have all the latest
fixes.
* lib/local.mk (lib_libbison_a_SOURCES): Remove subpipe.h and
subpipe.c.
* po/POTFILES.in (lib/subpipe.c): Remove.
* src/files.c (compute_output_file_names): Update invocations
of output_file_name_check.
(output_file_name_check): In the case that the grammar file
would be overwritten, use complain instead of fatal, but replace
the output file name with /dev/null.  Use the /dev/null solution
for the case of two conflicting output files as well because it
seems safer in case Bison one day tries to open both files at
the same time.
* src/files.h (output_file_name_check): Update prototype.
* src/output.c (output_skeleton): Use create_pipe_bidi and
wait_subprocess.  Assert that scan_skel completely drains the
pipe.
* src/scan-skel.l (at_directive_perform): Update
output_file_name_check invocation.
* tests/output.at (AT_CHECK_CONFLICTING_OUTPUT): Check that the
grammar file actually isn't overwritten.
(Conflicting output files: -o foo.y): Update expected output.
* tests/skeletons.at (Fatal errors but M4 continues producing
output): New test group.
