  stdio: don't assume gets any more
  
  Gnulib intentionally does not have a gets module, and now that C11
  and glibc have dropped it, we should be more proactive about warning
  any user on a platform that still has a declaration of this dangerous
  interface.
  
  * m4/stdio_h.m4 (gl_STDIO_H, gl_STDIO_H_DEFAULTS): Drop gets
  support.
  * modules/stdio (Makefile.am): Likewise.
  * lib/stdio-read.c (gets): Likewise.
  * tests/test-stdio-c++.cc: Likewise.
  * m4/warn-on-use.m4 (gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE): Fix comment.
  * lib/stdio.in.h (gets): Make warning occur in more places.
  * doc/posix-functions/gets.texi (gets): Update documentation.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function should never be used, because it can overflow any given buffer.
  @item
  When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function
  fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on
  some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
  upon failure.
