Cygwin: Improve FAQ on early breakpoint for ASLR
gdb supports the 'disable-randomization' setting on Windows since [1]
(included in gdb 13).

Ken Brown 5d4f405d3b Cygwin: redefine some macros for Linux compatibility
Define FD_SETSIZE (<sys/select.h>) to be 1024 by default, and define
NOFILE (<sys/param.h>) to be OPEN_MAX (== 3200) by default.

Remove the comment in <sys/select.h> that FD_SETSIZE should be >=
NOFILE.

Bump API minor.

This reverts commit 1f8f7e2d54, "* libc/stdio/refill.c (__srefill):
Try again after EOF on Cygwin."  If EOF is set on a file, the stdio
input functions will now immediately return EOF rather than trying
again to read.  This aligns Cygwin's behavior to that of Linux.

Add patch, and make cocom unconditional in list of build prerequisites.

order in which git creates the files resulting in timestamps which

the inputs.

Cygwin: Conditionally build documentation
Add a configure option '--disable-doc' to disable building of the
documentation by the 'all' target.

Check for the required tools at configure time, and require them if
building documentation is enabled.

Even if building the documentation was diabled with '--disable-doc',
'make -C doc' at the top-level can still make the documentation, if the
documentation tools were found. If the tools were not found, 'missing'
is used to issue a warning about that.

Update instructions for building Cygwin appropriately.

(Building documentation remains the default to increase the chances of
noticing when building the documentation is broken.)

Ken Brown cee03513d8 Cygwin: cfsetspeed: allow speed to be a numerical baud rate
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.

Cygwin: Use cmdsynopsis element in utils documentation
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'!

Cygwin: Remove recursive configure
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.
