Use of print_unicode_char suggested by Bruno Haible.

* src/gram.h (print_dot_fallback, print_dot): New.
* src/gram.c, src/derivation.c: Use it.
* tests/counterexample.at, tests/report.at: Adjust the test suite.
* .travis.yml, README-hacking.md: Adjust.
The option --header was introduced in version 2.5.6.
The option --header-file was introduced in version 2.6.4.
Reported by Bruno Haible.
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-bison/2020-05/msg00013.html
So use --header, and do bother with versions that don't support it.
* m4/flex.m4: Check whether flex supports --header.
* configure.ac (FLEX_WORKS, FLEX_CXX_WORKS): Set to false if it doesn't.
* * examples/c/reccalc/local.mk, examples/c/reccalc/Makefile:
Use --header rather than --header-file.
Flex should not be required to build Bison or run the test suite (of
course it is needed for maintaining Bison). Yet the Automake
conditional FLEX_WORKS does not work.
* m4/flex.m4 (_AC_PROG_LEX_YYTEXT_DECL): Since this is called
conditionally, don't define LEX_IS_FLEX here, but rather...
(AC_PROG_LEX): here.
* configure.ac: Be more cautious about possibly undefined variables.

* bootstrap.conf: We need fstrcmp.
* src/symtab.c (symbol_from_uniqstr_fuzzy): New.
(complain_symbol_undeclared): Use it.
* tests/diagnostics.at (Suggestions): New.
* data/bison-default.css (insertion): Rename as...
(fixit-insert): this, as this is what GCC uses.
* bootstrap.conf: We need winsz-ioctl and winsz-termios.
* src/location.c (columns): Use winsize to get the number of
columns.
Code taken from the GNU Coreutils.
* src/location.h, src/location.c (caret_init): New.
* src/complain.c (complain_init): Call it.
* tests/bison.in: Export COLUMNS so that users of tests/bison can
enjoy proper line truncation.
So far diagnostics were cheating: in addition to the 'column' field of
locations (based on actual screen width per multibyte characters and
on tabulation expansion), the scanner sets the 'byte' field.
Diagnostics used this byte count to decide where to insert (color)
style.
We want to be able to truncate the quoted lines when there are too
wide to fit the screen. This requires that the diagnostics learn how
to count columns, the byte-in-boundary trick no longer works.
Bytes are still used for fix-its.
* bootstrap.conf: We need mbfile for mbf_getc.
* src/location.c (caret_info): We need an mbfile.
(caret_set_file): Initialize it.
(caret_getc): Convert to mbfile.
(location_caret): Instead of relying on the byte position to decide
where to insert the color style, count the current column using
boundary_compute.
We were using the gnulib's gettext module with tricks in
bootstrap.conf to avoid useless files. Instead, use gnulib's
gettext-h module.
* .travis.yml: Force Gettext 0.18.3 on Trusty.
* bootstrap.conf: Use gettext-h instead of gettext.
(excluded_files): Remove.
* configure.ac (AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION): Bump to 0.19.
Bruno Haible just added a default implementation of libtextstyle's
interface when the library is not available.
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2019-03/msg00025.html
* gnulib: Update.
* bootstrap.conf: Replace libtextstyle with libtextstyle-optional.
* src/complain.c, src/getargs.c: Remove now useless cpp guards.
The timevar and bitset modules now use the c99 module which causes
$CXX to now include -std=gnu++11 when possible. Unfortunately, G++
4.7 does not implement [[noreturn]] in C++11 mode, so our tests of
glr.cc (which uses _Noreturn) fail with
input.cc:954:1: error: expected unqualified-id before '[' token
right before [[noreturn]]. 4.8 works fine.
* data/skeletons/c.m4 (b4_attribute_define): Do not use [[noreturn]]
with GCC 4.7.

This is very easy to do, thanks to work by Bruno Haible in gnulib.
See "Supporting Relocation" in gnulib's documentation.
* bootstrap.conf: We need relocatable-prog and relocatable-script (for yacc).
* src/yacc.in: New.
* configure.ac, src/local.mk: Instantiate it.
* src/main.c, src/output.c (main, pkgdatadir): Use relocatable2.
* doc/bison.texi (FAQ): Document it.
Also, make sure that `make dist` generates a correct tarball even if
the C++ compiler does not work.
Reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe.
* m4/cxx.m4 (BISON_CXX_WORKS): Define to true/false instead of
true/exit 77. The latter is too dangerous to use (it directly quits).
(ENABLE_CXX): New name for the Automake conditional, for consistency
with ENABLE_CXX11 etc.
* tests/local.at (AT_COMPILE, AT_COMPILE_CXX): Adjust to the new
semantics of BISON_CXX_WORKS.
* examples/c++/local.mk: Skip the variant test if C++ does not work.
* examples/calc++/local.mk: Likewise.
The message on configure is misleading:
checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++11... yes
checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++14... yes
checking whether the linker accepts -std=c++17... no
It is the compiler that we check, not just the linker.
* m4/ax_check_link_flag.m4: Remove.
* m4/bison-check-compiler-flag.m4: New.
* m4/bison-cxx-std.m4: Use it.
On the CI, we had failures such as:
./c++.at:401: $PREPARSER ./list
stderr:
./list: error while loading shared libraries: libc++.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
because we accepted `-std=c++ -stdlib=libc++` although libc++ is not
installed on the machine.
* m4/ax_check_compile_flag.m4 (AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG): Rewrite as...
* m4/bison-check-compile-flag.m4 (BISON_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG): this, so
that we use AC_LINK_IFELSE to check the compiler (and its std lib)
instead of AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
On the CI, we have this spurious failure with clang 3.9 with
-std=c++17:

This shows that our test, based on gl_WARN_ADD, is a joke. We have to
really check for at least a bit of C++.
* m4/ax_check_compile_flag.m4, m4/bison-cxx-std.m4: New.
* configure.ac: Use them to make sure the compiler actually works.
