Simplify paths in generated API docs
Currently the file list generated by Doxygen has src/ at the
beginning of each path. Paths like common/sysdefs.h and
liblzma/api/lzma.h are easier to read without such a prefix.
Builds from a separate build directory with
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
doxygen Doxyfile
include an even longer prefix /home/someone/src/xz/src; this
patch has the nice side-effect of eliminating that prefix, too.

Build: Copy the example programs to $docdir/examples.
The example programs by Daniel Mealha Cabrita were included
in the git repository, but I had forgot to add them to
Makefile.am. Thus, they didn't get included in the source
package at all by "make dist".

liblzma: Make lzma_code() check the reserved members in lzma_stream.
If any of the reserved members in lzma_stream are non-zero
or non-NULL, LZMA_OPTIONS_ERROR is returned. It is possible
that a new feature in the future is indicated by just setting
a reserved member to some other value, so the old liblzma
version need to catch it as an unsupported feature.

Windows: Use MinGW's stdio functions.
The non-standard ones from msvcrt.dll appear to work
most of the time with XZ Utils, but there are some
corner cases where things may go very wrong. So it's
good to use the better replacements provided by
MinGW(-w64) runtime.

OS/2 and DOS: Be less verbose on signals.
Calling raise() to kill xz when user has pressed C-c
is a bit verbose on OS/2 and DOS/DJGPP. Instead of
calling raise(), set only the exit status to 1.

Windows: Make build.bash prefer MinGW-w32 over MinGW.
This is simply for licensing reasons. The 64-bit version
will be built with MinGW-w64 anyway (at least for now),
so using it also for 32-bit build allows using the same
copyright notice about the MinGW-w64/w32 runtime.
Note that using MinGW would require a copyright notice too,
because its runtime is not in the public domain either even
though MinGW's home page claims that it is public domain.

Use LZMA_VERSION_STRING instead of PACKAGE_VERSION.
Those are the same thing, and the former makes it a bit
easier to build the code with other build systems, because
one doesn't need to update the version number into custom
config.h.
This change affects only lzmainfo. Other tools were already
using LZMA_VERSION_STRING.

Build: Remove the static/dynamic tricks.
Most distros want xz linked against shared liblzma, so
it doesn't help much to require --enable-dynamic for that.
Those who want to avoid PIC on x86-32 to get better
performance, can still do it e.g. by using --disable-shared
to compile xz and then another pass to compile shared liblzma.
Part of these static/dynamic tricks were needed for Windows
in the past. Nowadays we rely on GCC and binutils to do the
right thing with auto-import. If the Autotooled build system
needs to support some other toolchain on Windows in the future,
this may need some rethinking.

Major man page updates.
Lots of content was updated on the xz man page.
Technical improvements:
- Start a new sentence on a new line.
- Use fairly short lines.
- Use constant-width font for examples (where supported).
- Some minor cleanups.
Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some language fixes.

xz: Multiple fixes.
The code assumed that printing numbers with thousand separators
and decimal points would always produce only US-ASCII characters.
This was used for buffer sizes (with snprintf(), no overflows)
and aligning columns of the progress indicator and --list. That
assumption was wrong (e.g. LC_ALL=fi_FI.UTF-8 with glibc), so
multibyte character support was added in this commit. The old
way is used if the operating system doesn't have enough multibyte
support (e.g. lacks wcwidth()).
The sizes of buffers were increased to accomodate multibyte
characters. I don't know how big they should be exactly, but
they aren't used for anything critical, so it's not too bad.
If they still aren't big enough, I hopefully get a bug report.
snprintf() takes care of avoiding buffer overflows.
Some static buffers were replaced with buffers allocated on
stack. double_to_str() was removed. uint64_to_str() and
uint64_to_nicestr() now share the static buffer and test
for thousand separator support.
Integrity check names "None" and "Unknown-N" (2 <= N <= 15)
were marked to be translated. I had forgot these, plus they
wouldn't have worked correctly anyway before this commit,
because printing tables with multibyte strings didn't work.
Thanks to Marek Černocký for reporting the bug about
misaligned table columns in --list output.

Don't set lc=4 with --extreme.
This should reduce the cases where --extreme makes
compression worse. On the other hand, some other
files may now benefit slightly less from --extreme.

liblzma: Adjust default depth calculation for HC3 and HC4.
It was 8 + nice_len / 4, now it is 4 + nice_len / 4.
This allows faster settings at lower nice_len values,
even though it seems that I won't use automatic depth
calcuation with HC3 and HC4 in the presets.

Disable the memory usage limiter by default.
For several people, the limiter causes bigger problems that
it solves, so it is better to have it disabled by default.
Those who want to have a limiter by default need to enable
it via the environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS.
Support for environment variable XZ_DEFAULTS was added. It is
parsed before XZ_OPT and technically identical with it. The
intended uses differ quite a bit though; see the man page.
The memory usage limit can now be set separately for
compression and decompression using --memlimit-compress and
--memlimit-decompress. To set both at once, -M or --memlimit
can be used. --memory was retained as a legacy alias for
--memlimit for backwards compatibility.
The semantics of --info-memory were changed in backwards
incompatible way. Compatibility wasn't meaningful due to
changes in the memory usage limiter functionality.
The memory usage limiter info is no longer shown at the
bottom of xz --long -help.
The memory usage limiter support for removed completely from xzdec.
xz's man page was updated to match the above changes. Various
unrelated fixes were also made to the man page.

Silence a bogus Valgrind warning.
When using -O2 with GCC, it liked to swap two comparisons
in one "if" statement. It's otherwise fine except that
the latter part, which is seemingly never executed, got
executed (nothing wrong with that) and then triggered
warning in Valgrind about conditional jump depending on
uninitialized variable. A few people find this annoying
so do things a bit differently to avoid the warning.
