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.

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.

New test case.
This patch was inspired by work by Michiel De Wilde. But he used Boost
variants which (i) requires Boost on the user side, (ii) is slow, and
(iii) has useless overhead (the parser knows the type of the semantic value
there is no reason to duplicate this information as Boost.Variants do).
This implementation reserves a buffer large enough to store the largest
objects. yy::variant implements this buffer. It was implemented with
Quentin Hocquet.

parser::union_type, parser::variant, change the definition of
semantic_type, construct $$ before running the user action instead
of performing a default $$ = $1.
* examples/variant.yy: New.
Based on an example by Michiel De Wilde.
