Prefer https: URLs
In Gnulib, Emacs, etc. we are changing ftp: and http: URLs to use
https:, to discourage man-in-the-middle attacks when downloading
software. The attached patch propagates these changes upstream to
Automake. This patch does not affect files that Automake is
downstream of, which I'll patch separately.
Althouth the resources are not secret, plain HTTP is vulnerable to
malicious routers that tamper with responses from GNU servers,
and this sort of thing is all too common when people in some other
countries browse US-based websites. See, for example:
Aceto G, Botta A, Pescapé A, Awan MF, Ahmad T, Qaisar
S. Analyzing internet censorship in Pakistan. RTSI
2016. https://dx.doi.org/10.1109/RTSI.2016.7740626
HTTPS is not a complete solution here, but it can be a significant
help. The GNU project regularly serves up code to users, so we should
take some care here.

tests: prepare to move ./defs to t/ax/test-init.sh
We don't do this in a sweeping passage, because that would cause
endless headaches in the synchronization between the maint, master
and ng/master branches. Instead, we setup our framework to allow
test scripts to work by sourcing either './defs' or 'test-init.sh',
so that we'll be able to make the transition gradual and painless.
* t/ax/test-init.sh: New, copied from the previous ./defs file.
* defs: Simply work by sourcing the new file.
* Makefile.am (dist_noinst_DATA): List the new file.
* t/README: Adjust to mandate the sourcing of 'test-init.sh' rather
than of './defs'.
* t/c-demo.sh: Source 'test-init.sh' instead of ./defs. This is
done to verify our new setup actually works.

test defs: move in 't/ax/test-defs.sh'
We can do so with minimal churn, now that the early setup of $PATH in
both 'runtest' and AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT allow the '.' built-in to find

tests: prefer "test ! -e FILE" to check that a file doesn't exist
Once, for the sake of (at least) Solaris 10 /bin/sh, we had to use
"test ! -f FILE" or "test ! -r FILE" or "test ! -d FILE" instead,
because the that shell's 'test' built-in didn't grok the '-e' option.
Note however that we still can't use "test ! -e" in the Makefile recipes
used in the test cases; that is because those recipes are run with the
shell detected by 'configure', and Autoconf-generated configure scripts
do no guarantee to find or provide a POSIX-compatible shell.
* Several tests: Adjust.
* t/yacc-clean-cxx: Adjust, and remove a couple of useless commands.
* t/parallel-tests-dry-run-2.sh: Adjust, and add invocation to

* t/maken3.sh: Adjust, and fix a typo that could cause a minor false
negative.

even since commit 'v1.11-1308-g375f23d' of 2011-09-08, "testsuite:

tests: don't skip if $(abs_builddir) or $(abs_srcdir) contain whitespace
We used to explicitly skip libtool and gettext tests if the absolute
path of the builddir or of the srcdir which Automake was configured
with contained any whitespace (or other metacharacters).
But several other tests would spuriously fail in such an unholy setup.
To be precise, it would cause 61 'FAIL's and 42 'ERROR's in the whole
Automake testsuite.
The fact that, as of today, nobody has reported any failure of this kind
means that (thankfully) nobody is building automake with $(abs_srcdir)
or $(abs_builddir) mangled by whitespace. So, instead of trying to cater
to such a broken setup consistently, we just drop the extra check in the
libtool/gettext tests.
In case someone will ever reports a failure due to extra whitespace in
either $(abs_srcdir) or or $(abs_builddir), we will simply enhance our
'configure.ac' to bail out flatly and loudly at such a setup.

tests: simpler workaround for shells losing the exit status in exit trap
Now that we can assume our tests are run by a decent POSIX shell, we
can simplify our workaround aimed at having the exit status propagated
correctly to the code in the exit trap. Unfortunately, we cannot
dispense with such a workaround altogether, because it's still required
by some shells we need to support (at least Solaris 10 /bin/ksh and
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh).
For more information about the need of that workaround, see the entry
about 'trap' in the section "Limitations of Shell Builtins" in the
Autoconf manual:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#trap>
The new workaround has been tested successfully with the following
shells:
- Bash 4.1
- Bash 3.2
- Bash 3.0
- Bash 2.05b
- dash 0.5.5.1
- dash 0.5.2
- AT&T Ksh 93u (from official Debian package)
- MirBSD Korn Shell 40.2 (from official Debian package)
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /bin/ksh
- Solaris 9, 10 and 11 /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/sh
- NetBSD 5.1 /bin/ksh
* t/ax/test-init.sh (Exit): Rename ...
(_am_exit): ... like this.
(exit): New alias for '_am_exit'. We cannot simply redefine 'exit'
as a shell function, because some shells (dash 0.5.5.1, Solaris 10
/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh) do not allow it.
(_am_exit, trap): Add extra escaping for 'exit' calls, to ensure we
really invoke the 'exit' builtin and not our alias with the same
name.
* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run our testsuite
supports aliases named like shell builtins.
* t/REAMDE: Adjust.
* All tests: Adjust, by simply using 'exit' instead of 'Exit'.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust: the first usage of 'exit'
after it has been redefined as an alias must be on a new line w.r.t.
that where the alias is defined, in order for the redefinition to be
honored.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_Exit_not_exit): Delete.
(sc_tests_exit_not_Exit): New.
(syntax_check_rules): Adjust.
(sc_tests_automake_fails): Simplify the recipe a little.
* Several tests: Remove now useless spurious quoting once required
to placate the 'sc_tests_Exit_not_exit' maintainer check.
* gen-testsuite-part: Likewise. Also, avoid uses of 'Exit' in the
generated scripts.

tests: avoid one last `...` command substitution in 'test-init.sh'
* t/ax/test-init.sh (me): In the definition of this variable. This
also shave off a couple of forks, and the need for a sanity check
only required in fringe situations.

tests: new requirement 'grep-nonprint'
* t/ax/test-inist.sh ($esc): New, a literal escape character.
(grep-nonprint): New requirement, check that the grep implementation
available that can handle non-printing characters correctly.
* t/color.sh: Use it instead of hand-rolled equivalent, and do not
(re)define '$esc' explicitly.
* t/color2.sh: Likewise.
* t/tap-color.sh: Likewise.
* t/vtexi4.sh: Likewise.
* t/parallel-tests-no-color-in-log.sh: Likewise. Also prefer the use
of grep over that of $FGREP, because the new requirement only check
grep, and ensure we only grep non-printing characters from a pipe, to
avoid hitting a BSD grep limitation.
* t/parallel-tests-reset-term.sh: Likewise.
* t/ax/tap-summary-aux.sh: Use '$esc' instead of hard-coding the
literal escape character.

tests: implement is_newest as an auxiliary script, not shell function
This will allow to also use it in the makefile recipes used in our
test cases.
* t/ax/test-init.sh (is_newest): Remove.
* t/ax/is_newest: New script.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

Merge branch 'maint'
* maint:
tests: automatic re-execution works for non-POSIX shells too
tests: use more POSIX shell features our test scripts
+ Extra non-trivial edits:
* t/ax/test-init.sh: Apply the diffs between past versions of
'defs' in maint and in master; i.e., remove handling of $required
entries 'texi2dvi-o' and 'makeinfo-html', and adjust to the fact
that the parallel testsuite harness is now the default.

tests: automatic re-execution works for non-POSIX shells too
Some inferior shells are too greedy in parsing their input. If a
non-POSIX Bourne shell (like Solaris 10 /bin/sh) was used to launch
one of our test scripts, it would fail unconditionally, because it
unexpectedly saw some (by it) unsupported constructs, notwithstanding
such constructs being placed *after* the code implementing automatic
test re-execution with a better shell. In conclusion, the shell
bailed out like this:
$ /bin/sh t/ar.sh
$ t/ar.sh: syntax error at line 257: `is_newest_files=$' unexpected
By moving all the potentially problematic code in a separate file, to
be sourced only after the code for automatic re-execution with a better
shell, we ensure that inferior shell cannot see such code by mistake.
* defs: All code after automatic shell re-execution moved out ...
* t/ax/test-init.sh: ... to this new file.
* syntax-checks.mk (xdefs): Add it.
* Makefile.am (dist_check_DATA): Add it. Also move in 'defs' from
a less explicit 'check_DATA' declaration.
(nodist_check_DATA): Move in 'defs-static' from a less explicit
'check_DATA' declaration.
(check_DATA): Remove.
* t/self-check-sanity.sh: Remove, it was actually too hacky and brittle,
sanity-checking situations we don0t actually care about.
* t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
* t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Adjust, and fix a botched heading
comments while we are at it.
* t/self-check-reexec.tap: Adjust.
* t/self-check-cleanup.tap: Likewise.
