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.

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
some updates to limits.h for AIO-specific limits. And some doc mods.
There are two common sigpause variants, both of which take an int argument.
If you request _XOPEN_SOURCE or _GNU_SOURCE, you get the System V version,
which removes the given signal from the process's signal mask; otherwise
you get the BSD version, which sets the process's signal mask to the given
value.

This patch adds pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np.
These were added to glibc in 2.12[1] and are also present in some form on
NetBSD and several UNIXes.
The code is based on NetBSD's implementation with changes to better match
Linux behaviour.
Implementation quirks:
* pthread_setname_np with a NULL pointer segfaults (as linux)
* pthread_setname_np returns ERANGE for names longer than 16 characters (as
linux)
* pthread_getname_np with a NULL pointer returns EFAULT (as linux)
* pthread_getname_np with a buffer length of less than 16 returns ERANGE (as
linux)
* pthread_getname_np truncates the thread name to fit the buffer length.
This guarantees success even when the default thread name is longer than 16
characters, but means there is no way to discover the actual length of the
thread name. (Linux always truncates the thread name to 16 characters)
* Changing program_invocation_short_name changes the default thread name (on
linux, it has no effect on the default thread name)
I'll leave it up to you to decide if any of these matter.
This is implemented via class pthread_attr to make it easier to add
pthread_attr_[gs]etname_np (present in NetBSD and some UNIXes) should it
ever be added to Linux (or we decide we want it anyway).

The default UI language returned by GetUserDefaultUILanguage does not
necessarily reflect what the user really wants. E. g., the system could
be en_US, but the desired language is en_CA, without having a CA langpack
installed.
Changing the settings under "Languages" and changing the keyboard layout
is only affecting the so-called "Input language", while what's returned
by GetUserDefaultUILanguage is the "Display language". Changing the
latter requires installing MUI langpacks.
Thus, we introduce a way to fetch the "Input language" using the -i or
--input option.
Also clean up documentation of locale(1).

Cygwin_props have been invented to allow switching off the unique
installation keys in the first place, supposedly for debugging.
This never really was a good idea, after all we *want* the installations
to be independent and there's no good reason to break that, not even
for debugging purposes.
Other than that, cygwin_props were meant to be used for some other global
settings which never took place. There's just no good reason to tweak
the DLL binary invisibly where a setting could be done in a file or the
environment.
This patch removes the cygwin_props entirely, including the related
settings in cygcheck.
cygwin:
* cygprops.h: Remove file.
* globals.cc (cygwin_props): Remove.
* cygheap.cc (init_cygheap::init_installation_root): Drop removing
installation key.
utils:
* cygcheck.cc: Drop including cygprops.h. Remove now unused option
values.

(handle_unique_object_name): Remove function.
(usage): Remove text for unique-object-names options.
(longopts): Remove unique-object-names options.
