  Support for MSVC compiler: Ensure mode_t gets defined.

  * m4/spawn_h.m4 (gl_SPAWN_H): Likewise.
  * m4/sys_stat_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_STAT_H): Likewise.
  * m4/sys_types_h.m4 (gl_SYS_TYPES_H): Likewise.
  * tests/test-fcntl-h.c: Check that mode_t is defined.
  * tests/test-sys_stat.c: Likewise.
  * tests/test-sys_types.c: Likewise.
  * doc/posix-headers/fcntl.texi: Mention the missing mode_t problem.

  Gnulib module: sys_stat
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  The type @code{mode_t} is not defined on some platforms:
  MSVC 9.
  @item
  Some macros, such as @code{S_IFMT} or @code{S_IFIFO}, are missing on some
  platforms.
  @item
  The macros @code{S_ISBLK}, @code{S_ISCHR}, @code{S_ISDIR}, @code{S_ISFIFO},
  @code{S_ISLNK}, @code{S_ISREG}, @code{S_ISSOCK} are broken on some platforms.
  @item
  Some platforms define macros, such as @code{S_ISDOOR}, that are not defined
  on other platforms.
  @item
  The functions @code{lstat} and @code{mkdir} are not declared on some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  The macros @code{UTIME_NOW} and @code{UTIME_OMIT} are missing on some
  platforms.
  @item
  On some platforms, @code{struct stat} does not include @code{st_atim},
  @code{st_mtim}, or @code{st_ctim} members.  Use the gnulib module
  @samp{stat-time} for accessors to portably get at subsecond resolution.
