If a resource compiler is available, use it to add a UTF-8 resource
to the GNU Make executable on Windows. As a result, GNU Make will
use UTF-8 as its ANSI code page, enabling it to work with UTF-8
encoded Makefiles, understand UTF-8 paths passed to it, etc.
These build process changes apply to all 3 ways that GNU Make can
be built for Windows:
1) configure
2) Basic.mk
3) build_w32.bat
When building with Visual Studio the resource compiler should always
be available.
When building with GCC or TCC, it depends on the availability of
'windres'.
If a resource compiler is not available, don't fail the build but
just proceed without the UTF-8 resource, effectively ignoring this
feature.
The UTF-8 resource only has an effect when GNU Make is running on a
minimum target version of Windows Version 1903 (May 2019 Update).
When the built GNU Make is running on an earlier version of Windows,
the embedded UTF-8 resource has no effect.
Code page information is added to --version output to tell users what
code pages are being used by any combination of GNU Make build (with
or without the UTF-8 resource) and Windows version that GNU Make is
running on (earlier than 1903 or not).

Move content from glob/* and config/* into standard GNU directory
locations lib/* and m4/*.
Install the gnulib bootstrap script and its configuration file, and
create a bootstrap.bat file for Windows. Update the README.git file
with new requirements and instructions for building from Git.
At this point we only install the alloca, getloadavg, and FDL modules
from gnulib. We keep our old glob/fnmatch implementation since the
gnulib versions require significant amounts of infrastructure which
doesn't exist on Windows yet. Further work is required here.
Due to a problem with gnulib's version of getloadavg, we need to bump
the minimum required version of automake to 1.16.1 unfortunately.

* configure.ac: Update for use with gnulib modules

Move the source code (other than glob) into the "src" subdirectory.

* SCOPTIONS: Update to define HAVE_CONFIG_H
Over time the non-standard build and install systems (nmake files,
smake files, Visual Studio project files, etc.) have atrophied and
maintaining them is not worth the effort, for such a simple utility
as make. Remove all the non-standard build tool support and unify
OS-specific build rules under a basic set of (GNU make) makefiles.
Preserve the existing bootstrapping scripts (for POSIX, Windows,
and MS-DOS). Also the existing VMS build scripts are left unchanged:
I don't have enough experience with VMS to venture into this area.
Perhaps one of the VMS maintainers might like to determine whether
conversion would be appropriate.
Rather than create libraries for w32 and glob (non-POSIX), simply
link the object files directly to remove the complexity.
* NEWS: Update with user-facing notes.
* Makefile.am: Clean up to use the latest automake best practices.
Build Windows code directly from the root makefile to avoid recursion.
