Merge from gnulib

This incorporates:
2017-03-14 snippets: move unadjusted snippet sources to lib
2017-03-14 gnulib-tool: fix typo in comment output
2017-03-14 snippets: work around GNU Make 3.82 VPATH
2017-03-13 gnulib-tool: minor --gnu-make fixups
2017-03-12 gnulib-tool: new option --gnu-make
* .gitignore: Remove lib/arg-nonnull.h, lib/c++defs.h,
lib/warn-on-use.h.  Change exception from
build-aux/snippet/_Noreturn.h to lib/_Noreturn.h.
* admin/authors.el (authors-renamed-files-regexps):
* admin/notes/copyright, make-dist:
The snippet files moved from build-aux/snippet to lib.
* lib/_Noreturn.h: Rename from build-aux/snippet/_Noreturn.h.
* lib/arg-nonnull.h: Rename from build-aux/snippet/arg-nonnull.h.
* lib/c++defs.h: Rename from build-aux/snippet/c++defs.h.
* lib/gnulib.mk, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
* lib/warn-on-use.h: Rename from build-aux/snippet/warn-on-use.h.

+/* _GL_WARN_ON_USE (function, "literal string") issues a declaration
+   for FUNCTION which will then trigger a compiler warning containing
+   the text of "literal string" anywhere that function is called, if
+   supported by the compiler.  If the compiler does not support this
+   feature, the macro expands to an unused extern declaration.
+
+   This macro is useful for marking a function as a potential
+   portability trap, with the intent that "literal string" include
+   instructions on the replacement function that should be used
+   instead.  However, one of the reasons that a function is a
+   portability trap is if it has the wrong signature.  Declaring
+   FUNCTION with a different signature in C is a compilation error, so
+   this macro must use the same type as any existing declaration so
+   that programs that avoid the problematic FUNCTION do not fail to
+   compile merely because they included a header that poisoned the
+   function.  But this implies that _GL_WARN_ON_USE is only safe to
+   use if FUNCTION is known to already have a declaration.  Use of
+   this macro implies that there must not be any other macro hiding
+   the declaration of FUNCTION; but undefining FUNCTION first is part
+   of the poisoning process anyway (although for symbols that are
+   provided only via a macro, the result is a compilation error rather
+   than a warning containing "literal string").  Also note that in
+   C++, it is only safe to use if FUNCTION has no overloads.
+
+   For an example, it is possible to poison 'getline' by:
+   - adding a call to gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE([[#include <stdio.h>]],
+     [getline]) in configure.ac, which potentially defines
+     HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE
+   - adding this code to a header that wraps the system <stdio.h>:
+     #undef getline
+     #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE
+     _GL_WARN_ON_USE (getline, "getline is required by POSIX 2008, but"
+       "not universally present; use the gnulib module getline");
+     #endif
+
+   It is not possible to directly poison global variables.  But it is
+   possible to write a wrapper accessor function, and poison that
+   (less common usage, like &environ, will cause a compilation error
+   rather than issue the nice warning, but the end result of informing
+   the developer about their portability problem is still achieved):
+   #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_ENVIRON
+   static char ***rpl_environ (void) { return &environ; }
+   _GL_WARN_ON_USE (rpl_environ, "environ is not always properly declared");
+   # undef environ
+   # define environ (*rpl_environ ())
+   #endif
