A more sophisticated (and modern) test harness would probably be useful,
but switching to Automake's built-in test harness gets us parallel test
execution, colourization of failures, simplifies matters, seems adequate
for the current testuite, and means we don't need to write any icky Tcl.

Test access05 and symlink03 expect operations to fail which succeed when
we have Adminstrator privileges.
There's perhaps a bit of incoherency here: some XFAILed tests expect to
run as root (so maybe we need the ability to selectively cygdrop?).

Do some setup in the Cygwin 'installation' at testsuite/testinst/:
* Ensure /tmp exists
* Use BusyBox to provide executables needed by tests which use system()
(sh, sleep, ls)
This enables tests which use system(), or require /tmp to exist to pass.

Rather than guessing, based on just the presence of libbfd, add an
explicit configuration option, to build dumper or not, defaulting to
building it.
This might have some use when bootstrapping Cygwin for a new
architecture, or when building your own Cygwin-targetted cross-compiler,
rather than installing one from the copr, along with the dependencies of
libbfd.
Using ulinks here makes the result work on cygwin.com only, while
xrefs to FAQs are creating realtive links. Add xreflabel where
appropriate.

Add patch, and make cocom unconditional in list of build prerequisites.
Even though the products of these tools are checked in, these tools are
required when building in a fresh git checkout, presumably due to the
order in which git creates the files resulting in timestamps which
indicate that the output of rules using these tools are older than
the inputs.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2021-December/250124.html
Also drop a duplicate sentence about 'fetch sources from git'.
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.)
Also:
Remove obsolete reference to g-b-s
Remove mention of ancient pre-invisiconsole behaviour of setup scripts

Bump GPLv2+ to GPLv3+ for some files, clarify BSD 2-clause.
Everything else stays under GPLv3+.
New Linking Exception exempts resulting executables from LGPLv3 section 4.
Add CONTRIBUTORS file to keep track of licensing.
Remove 'Copyright Red Hat Inc' comments.
