Don't prevent random file systems from being unmounted.

This fix relies on having the 'fchdir' function, and on having
"." be searchable (or at least readable, on platforms lacking O_SEARCH),
but that's good enough to handle the vast majority of cases and the
remaining folks can just live with the annoyance of file systems
that occasionally can't be unmounted.
* configure.ac (fchdir): New function to check for.
* lib/save-cwd.c: Copy from gnulib, except omit the part that
allocates memory, since that can cause problems in Emacs.
* lib/save-cwd.h: Copy from gnulib.

Fixes: debbugs:18232

+   to return to the recorded location.  This function may allocate
+   space using malloc (via getcwd) or leave a file descriptor open;
+   use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close.  Upon failure,
+   no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are
+   closed;  return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be

+
+   The _raison d'etre_ for this interface is that the working directory
+   is sometimes inaccessible, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient.
+   So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on
+   getcwd if necessary.  This module works for most cases with just
+   the getcwd-lgpl module, but to be truly robust, use the getcwd module.
+
+   Some systems lack fchdir altogether: e.g., OS/2, pre-2001 Cygwin,
+   SCO Xenix.  Also, SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it
+   doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled.  If
