A recent patch fixed gmondump to stop printing "0x0x" as an address
prefix. It turns out the Cygwin User's Guide and the gmondump and
ssp man pages (all from utils.xml) have examples of the same error.
The doc for gmondump says 1 or more FILENAME are expected, but 0 is
handled. That's an oversight. Make invocation with 0 FILENAMEs print a
one-line help message.
Reword the beginning of profiler's description doc to clarify target's
child processes are run but only optionally profiled.
These are updates to wire into the build tree the new tools profiler and
gmondump, and to supply documentation for the tools.
The documentation for profiler and ssp now mention each other but do not
discuss their similarities or differences. That will be handled in a
future update to the "Profiling Cygwin Programs" section of the Cygwin
User's Guide, to be supplied.
The Linux man page for cfsetspeed(3) specifies that the speed argument
must be one of the constants Bnnn (e.g., B9600) defined in termios.h.
But Linux in fact allows the speed to be the numerical baud rate
(e.g., 9600). For consistency with Linux, we now do the same.

Use <cmdsynopsis> element markup in utils docbook documentation, rather
than some preformatted text inside <screen>.
(This didn't happen as part of 646745cb, when we first started using
refentry elements to make it possible to generate manpages)
This helps produce better looking manpages:
* uses bold (for command names) and italic (for replaceable items)
* different output formats inconsistently treat tabs inside <screen>
(so we have to be careful to not use them in that preformatted text)
Also clean up various issues:
* Replace '[OPTIONS]' with a real synopsis of the options
* Consistently use 'ITEM...' rather than 'ITEM1 [ITEM2...]' for an item
which should appear 1 or more times (cygcheck -f, getfacl, kill)
* Consistently document the '-h | -V' invocation form
* Since replaceable items are now marked up so they have some formatting
indicating they are replaceable, we can drop wrapping them in angle
brackets, as is done in some places
* Add missing '-W' and '-p PID' options to ps synopsis
* Adjust cygpath synopsis to show that only one 'System information'
option is allowed, possibly modified by -A
Future work:
* Sync up the actual help emitted by the util, where it's been improved
* Also don't use <screen> for formatting 'OPTIONS' section of manpage
* pldd inconsistently uses '-?' rather than '-h'!
* Drop duplicate 'Options:' headers (mkgroup, mkpassword)
* Add missing indication that MACHINE is optional with -L (mkgroup, mkpassword)
* Tweak some <refpurpose> which try to be a synopsis, rather than a decription (passwd, ssp)
* Drop some stray '\n' in setfacl options
* Move 'Original Author' note in ssp to an AUTHORS section
* Use <para> to improve formatting of tzset manpage
Allow multiple characters also in first '-mode' argument.
Use '-H' instead of '-h' for '--help' to fix ambiguity with
hidden attribute. Fix help and usage texts and documentation.

v2:
* Include tzmap.h in BUILT_SOURCES
* Make per-file flags appear after user-supplied CXXFLAGS, so they can
override optimization level.
* Correct .o files used to define symbols exported by libm.a
* Drop gcrt0.o mistakenly included in libgmon.a
* Add missing line continuations in GMON_FILES value
v3:
* use per-file flags for .c compilation
* override C{XX,}FLAGS, as they are set on the command line by top-level make
v4:
* Drop -Wno-error=write-strings from path_testsuite CXXFLAGS
v5:
* Update for changes in master
- Add -fno-threadsafe-statics to CXX flags
- Add hypotl.cc
- Remove fenv.cc (in favour of newlib), add fenv.c stub
- Add proc.5 manpage rules

There's doesn't seem to be much use in independently distributing these
subdirectories, so allowing them to be independently configured seems
pointless and overcomplicated.
The order in which the subdirectories are built is still a little odd,
as cygwin is linked with libcygserver, and cygserver is then linked with
cygwin. So, we build the cygwin directory first, which invokes a build
of libcygserver in the cygserver directory, and then build in the
cygserver directory to build the cygserver executable.
Drop AC_CONFIGURE_ARGS, since we don't need to recursively call
configure with the same arguments anymore.
Slightly refine when we build utils: Previously we didn't build any
utils if MinGW compiler use was avoided, now we just avoid building
those utils which require that compiler.
Greatly simplify how winsup_srcdir and target_builddir are set, since
we're only configuring from one directory. (These are still kept
absolute, since we don't adjust them where used for being used in a
subdirectory).
Remove configure.cygwin and put it's (greatly reduced) contents inline
in the one place it's used now.
Remove generated configure and aclocal.m4 in subdirectories.

Use the (undocumented) MEMORY_WORKING_SET_EX_INFORMATION in dumper to
determine if a MEM_IMAGE region is unsharable, and hence has been
modified.
After this, we will end up dumping memory regions where:
- state is MEM_COMMIT (i.e. is not MEM_RESERVE or MEM_FREE), and
-- type is MEM_PRIVATE and protection allows reads (i.e. not a guardpage), or
-- type is MEM_IMAGE and attribute is non-sharable (i.e. it was WC, got
written to, and is now a RW copy)
Windows Explorer shows a warning with Cygwin-created DACLs, but putting
the text of the warning into Google doesn't lead to the relevant Cygwin
docs. Let's copy the warning text into the docs in the hopes of helping
confused users. Most of the credit for the wording belongs to Yaakov
Selkowitz.

The implicit assumption seemed to be that any subsequent occurence of
the same setting in nsswitch.conf is supposed to rewrite the previous
ones completely. This was not the case if the third or any further
schema was previously defined and the last line defined less than that
(but at least 2), for example:
```
db_home: windows cygwin /myhome/%U
db_home: cygwin desc
```
Let's document this behavior as well.

The descriptions of symlink handling are a bit dated, so
revamp them and add the new WSL symlink type.
Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>
WSL symlinks are reparse points containing a POSIX path in UTF-8.
On filesystems supporting reparse points, use this symlink type.
On other filesystems, or in case of error, fall back to the good
old plain SYSTEM file.

Treat WSL symlinks just like other symlinks. Convert
