Now that the derivation is no longer printed on one line, aligning the

This is more consistent, and brings benefits: users know that these
diagnostics are attached to -Wcounterexamples, and they can also click
on the hyperlink if permitted by their terminal.
We go from

Sometimes, understanding the derivations is difficult, because they
are serialized to fit in one line. For instance, the example taken
from the NEWS file:
%token ID
%%
s: a ID
a: expr
expr: expr ID ',' | "expr"
gave
First example expr • ID ',' ID $end
Shift derivation $accept → [ s → [ a → [ expr → [ expr • ID ',' ] ] ID ] $end ]
Second example expr • ID $end
Reduce derivation $accept → [ s → [ a → [ expr • ] ID ] $end ]
Printing as trees, it gives:
First example expr • ID ',' ID $end
Shift derivation
$accept
↳ s $end
↳ a ID
↳ expr
↳ expr • ID ','
Second example expr • ID $end
Reduce derivation

When reporting counterexamples for s/r conflicts, put the shift first.
This is more natural, and displays the default resolution first, which
is also what happens for r/r conflicts where the smallest rule number
is displayed first, and "wins".
* src/counterexample.c (counterexample): Add a shift_reduce member.

Swap the derivations when this is a s/r conflict.

and "Reduce derivation" rather than "First/Second derivation".

* NEWS, doc/bison.texi: Ditto.
It does not make a lot of sense to use ::= in our counterexamples,
that's not something that belongs to the Bison "vocabulary". Using
the colon makes sense, but it's too discreet. Let's use the arrow,
which we already use in some reports (HTML and Dot).

* tests/diagnostics.at, tests/report.at: Adjust.
* doc/bison.texi: Ditto.
Unfortunately the literal `→` is output as `↦`. So we need to use
@arrow.
It makes no sense, and is actually confusing, to display twice the
same example with no visible difference.

twice when colors are enabled. And check those colors.
Yet, don't change the structure identifier to avoid introducing

conflicts).

Currenly we rely on (visual) width of the characters to decide where
to open and close the styling of the quoted lines. This breaks when
we deal with zero-width characters: we cannot just rely on (visual)
columns, we need to know whether we are before, inside, or after the
highlighted portion.
* src/location.c (location_caret): col_end: no longer add 1, "regular"
characters have a width of 1, only 0-width characters have 0-width.

Don't reopen the style if we already did.

Since Bison 2.7, output was indented four spaces for explanatory
statements. For example:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp
input.y:1.7-11: previous declaration
Since the introduction of caret-diagnostics, it became less clear.
Remove the indentation and display submessages as in GCC:
input.y:2.7-13: error: %type redeclaration for exp
2 | %type <float> exp
| ^~~~~~~
input.y:1.7-11: note: previous declaration
1 | %type <int> exp
| ^~~~~

Adjust all dependencies.
* tests/actions.at, tests/diagnostics.at, tests/glr-regression.at,

Adjust expectations.
We used to display the unexpected token first:
$ bison foo.y
foo.y:1.8-13: error: syntax error, unexpected %token, expecting character literal or identifier or <tag>
1 | %token %token
| ^~~~~~
GCC uses a different format:
$ gcc-mp-9 foo.c
foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '(' before ')' token
1 | int()()()
| ^
and so does Clang:
$ clang-mp-9.0 foo.c
foo.c:1:5: error: expected identifier or '('
int()()()
^
1 error generated.
They display the unexpected token last (or not at all). Also, they
don't waste width with "syntax error". Let's try that. It gives, for
the same example as above:
$ bison foo.y
foo.y:1.8-13: error: expected character literal or identifier or <tag> before %token
1 | %token %token
| ^~~~~~
* src/complain.h, src/complain.c (syntax_error): New.
* src/parse-gram.y (yyreport_syntax_error): Use it.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Locations from M4, Tabulations and multibyte

coming from C, not from M4. Replace with...
(Complaints from M4): This.
Currently there are two globals denoting the input file: grammar_file
is the one from the command line, and current_file which might change
because of #line. Use only the former.
* src/complain.c (error_message): here.
* tests/diagnostics.at: Adjust.
Let's make a difference between places where Perl is required for the
test (AT_PERL_REQUIRE), and the places where it's used to run the
test, but it's not not to run the test (AT_PERL_CHECK).
* tests/local.at (AT_REQUIRE): New.
(AT_PERL_CHECK, AT_PERL_REQUIRE): New.
Use them where appropriate.
* tests/local.mk ($(TESTSUITE)): Beware not to start the line with
'-pi' if Perl is empty, as Make understands this as "it's ok to fail".
Which it is not.
My previous tests (with ./configure PERL=false) have been fooled by
configure, that managed to find perl anyway. This time, I ran this on
a Fedora in Docker, without Perl.

Because the checking of the grammar is made by phases after the whole
grammar was read, we sometimes have diagnostics that look weird. In
some case, within one type of checking, the entities are not checked
in the order in which they appear in the file. For instance, checking
symbols is done on the list of symbols sorted by tag:
foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol BAR is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol QUX is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
Let's sort them by location instead:
foo.y:1.16-18: warning: symbol 'QUX' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR
| ^~~
foo.y:1.20-22: warning: symbol 'BAR' is used, but is not defined as a token and has no rules [-Wother]
1 | %destructor {} QUX BAR

The current approach, with location_caret_suggestion, is fragile:
there's a protocol of calls to the complain functions which is strict.
We should rather have a richer structure describing the diagnostics,
including with submessages such as the suggestions, passed in the end
to the routines in charge of formatting and printing them.
* src/location.h, src/location.c (location_caret_suggestion): New.
* src/complain.c (deprecated_directive): Use it.
* tests/diagnostics.at, tests/input.at: Adjust expectations.
We used to treat lone CRs (\r, aka ^M) as regular NLs (\n), probably
to please Classic MacOS. As of today, it makes more sense to treat \r
like a plain white space character.

* src/scan-gram.l (no_cr_read): Remove. Instead, use...
(eol): this new abbreviation denoting end-of-line.
* src/location.c (caret_getc): New.
(location_caret): Use it.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Carriage return): Adjust expectations.
(CR NL): New.
When the input file contains lone CRs (aka, ^M, \r), the locations see
a new line. Diagnostics look only at \n as end-of-line, so sometimes
there is an offset in diagnostics. Worse yet: sometimes we loop
endlessly waiting for \n to come from a continuous stream of EOF.
Fix that:
- check for EOF
- beware not to call end_use_class if begin_use_class was not
called (which would abort). This could happen if the actual
line is shorter that the expected one.
Prompted by a (private) report from Marc Schönefeld.
* src/location.c (location_caret): here.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Carriage return): New.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2019-08/msg00007.html
When Bison is started with a flag that suppresses warning messages, the
error_message() function can produce a few gigabytes of indentation
because of a dangling pointer.
* src/complain.c (error_message): Don't reset indent_ptr here, but...
(complain_indent): here.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Indentation with message suppression): Check
this case.
It is more consistent with --color=html, --color=test, etc.
* src/getargs.h, src/getargs.c (style_debug): Rename as...
(color_debug): this.
(getargs_colors): Rename --style=debug as --color=debug.
Adjust dependencies.
* cfg.mk: Disable checks where needed (e.g., we do want to check the
behavior with tabs).
(sc_at_parser_check): Remove. Unfortunately since
a11c144609 we no longer use the './'
prefix to run programs in the current directory. That was so that we
could run Java programs like the other, although they are no run with
the `./` prefix (see 967a59d2c0).
As a consequence this sc check no longer makes sense.
However, since now AT_PARSER_CHECK passes the `./` prefix itself, this
sc-check was superfluous.
* examples/c/reccalc/scan.l: Use memcpy, not strncpy.
* src/ielr.c, src/reader.c: Obfuscate "lr(0)" so that the sc-check for
"space before paren" does not fire.
* tests/diagnostics.at: Avoid space-tab, use tab-tab.
Currently we pass only the columns based on the screen-width, which is
important for the carets. But we don't pass the bytes-based columns,
which is important for the colors. Pass both.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_boundary_grow): Also pass the byte-based column.
* src/location.c (location_caret): Clarify.
(boundary_set_from_string): Adjust to the new format.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Tabulations and multibyte characters from M4): New.
Locations issued from M4 need the byte-based column for the
diagnostics to work properly. Currently they were unassigned, which
typically resulted in partially non-colored diagnostics.
* src/location.c (boundary_set_from_string): Fix the parsed location.
* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_percent_define_default): Set the byte values.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Locations from M4): New.
