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.

- For programs which does not work properly with pseudo console,
disable_pcon in environment CYGWIN is introduced. If disable_pcon
is set, pseudo console support is disabled.
This patch supplies an implementation of the CPU_SET(3) processor
affinity macros as documented on the relevant Linux man page.
There is a mostly superset implementation of cpusets under newlib's
libc/sys/RTEMS/include/sys that has Linux and FreeBSD compatibility
and is built on top of FreeBSD bitsets. This Cygwin implementation
and the RTEMS one could be combined if desired at some future point.
This patch set implements the Linux syscalls sched_getaffinity,
sched_setaffinity, pthread_getaffinity_np, and pthread_setaffinity_np.
Linux has a straightforward view of the cpu sets used in affinity masks.
They are simply long (1024-bit) bit masks. This code emulates that view
while internally dealing with Windows' distribution of available CPUs among
processor groups.
libX11 provides <X11/Xlocale.h>. The build of libX11 itself adds
include/X11 to the compiler's include path. This results in a name
collision with /usr/include/xlocale.h on case-insensitive filesystems.
Commit 90e35b1eb3 renamed sys/_locale.h to xlocale.h in March 2017 under
the assumption that we should provide the locale_t type in the same file
as on Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin.
A few weeks later (June 2017), glibc removed the xlocale.h file in favor
of bits/types/locale_t.h, which shouldn't be included directly anyway.
For reference and the reasoning, see
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=f0be25b6336d
Given the above, revert 90e35b1eb3 and
fix additional usage of xlocale.h.

Using the Windows PID as Cygwin PID has a few drawbacks:
- the PIDs on Windows get reused quickly. Some POSIX applications choke
on that, so we need extra code to avoid too quick PID reuse.
- The code to avoid PID reuse keeps parent process handles and
(depending on a build option) child processes open unnecessarily.
- After an execve, the process has a split personality: Its Windows PID
is a new PID, while its Cygwin PID is the PID of the execve caller
process. This requires to keep two procinfo shared sections open, the
second just to redirect process info requests to the first, correct
one.
This patch changes the way Cygwin PIDs are generated:
- Cygwin PIDs are generated independently of the Windows PID, in a way
expected by POSIX processes. The PIDs are created incrementally in
the range between 2 and 65535, round-robin.
- On startup of the first Cygwin process, choose a semi-random start PID
for the first process in the lower PID range to make the PIDs slightly
unpredictable. This may not be necessary but it seems kind of inviting
to know that the first Cygwin process always starts with PID 2.
- Every process not only creates the shared procinfo section, but also a
symlink in the NT namespace, symlinking the Windows PID to the Cygwin
PID. This drops the need for the extra procinfo section after execve.
- Don't keep other process handles around unnecessarily.
- Simplify the code creating/opening the shared procinfo section and
make a clear distinction between interfaces getting a Cygwin PID and
interfaces getting a Windows PID.

- This simple and official method replaces cyglsa and "create token"
methods. No network share access, same as before.
- lsaauth and create_token are disabled now. If problems crop up,
they can be easily reactivated. If no problems crop up, they
can be removed in a while, together with the lsaauth subdir.
- Bump Cygwin version to 3.0.

Updates to misc files to integrate AIO into the Cygwin source tree.
Much of it has to be done when adding any new syscalls. There are
