This patch adds pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np.
These were added to glibc in 2.12[1] and are also present in some form on
NetBSD and several UNIXes.
The code is based on NetBSD's implementation with changes to better match
Linux behaviour.
Implementation quirks:
* pthread_setname_np with a NULL pointer segfaults (as linux)
* pthread_setname_np returns ERANGE for names longer than 16 characters (as
linux)
* pthread_getname_np with a NULL pointer returns EFAULT (as linux)
* pthread_getname_np with a buffer length of less than 16 returns ERANGE (as
linux)
* pthread_getname_np truncates the thread name to fit the buffer length.
This guarantees success even when the default thread name is longer than 16
characters, but means there is no way to discover the actual length of the
thread name. (Linux always truncates the thread name to 16 characters)
* Changing program_invocation_short_name changes the default thread name (on
linux, it has no effect on the default thread name)
I'll leave it up to you to decide if any of these matter.
This is implemented via class pthread_attr to make it easier to add
pthread_attr_[gs]etname_np (present in NetBSD and some UNIXes) should it
ever be added to Linux (or we decide we want it anyway).

The default UI language returned by GetUserDefaultUILanguage does not
necessarily reflect what the user really wants. E. g., the system could
be en_US, but the desired language is en_CA, without having a CA langpack
installed.
Changing the settings under "Languages" and changing the keyboard layout
is only affecting the so-called "Input language", while what's returned
by GetUserDefaultUILanguage is the "Display language". Changing the
latter requires installing MUI langpacks.
Thus, we introduce a way to fetch the "Input language" using the -i or
--input option.
Also clean up documentation of locale(1).

Improve the description of Cygwin ldd utility to give a bit more detail
about how it does what it does
Also add a security warning (modelled after the one in the Linux manpage)
that it may end up executing the file it is applied to.

Cygwin_props have been invented to allow switching off the unique
installation keys in the first place, supposedly for debugging.
This never really was a good idea, after all we *want* the installations
to be independent and there's no good reason to break that, not even
for debugging purposes.
Other than that, cygwin_props were meant to be used for some other global
settings which never took place. There's just no good reason to tweak
the DLL binary invisibly where a setting could be done in a file or the
environment.
This patch removes the cygwin_props entirely, including the related
settings in cygcheck.
cygwin:
* cygprops.h: Remove file.
* globals.cc (cygwin_props): Remove.
* cygheap.cc (init_cygheap::init_installation_root): Drop removing
installation key.
utils:
* cygcheck.cc: Drop including cygprops.h. Remove now unused option
values.
(unique_object_name_opt): Remove.
(handle_unique_object_name): Remove function.
(usage): Remove text for unique-object-names options.
(longopts): Remove unique-object-names options.
(main): Drop handling unique-object-names options.

* utils.xml (cygcheck): Remove text for unique-object-names options.

* mount.cc (mount_info::from_fstab_line): Support mounting the current
user's temp folder as /tmp/. This is particularly useful a feature
when Cygwin's own files are write-protected.
* pathnames.xml: document the new usertemp file system type
Detailed explanation:
In the context of Windows, there is a per-user directory for temporary
files, by default specified via the environment variable %TEMP%. Let's
allow to use that directory for our /tmp/ directory.
With this patch, we introduce the special filesystem type "usertemp":
By specifying
none /tmp usertemp binary,posix=0 0 0
in /etc/fstab, the /tmp/ directory gets auto-mounted to the directory
specified by the %TEMP% variable.
This feature comes handy in particularly in scenarios where the
administrator might want to write-protect the entire Cygwin directory
yet still needs to allow users to write into the /tmp/ directory.
This is the case in the context of Git for Windows, where the
Cygwin (MSys2) root directory lives inside C:\Program Files and hence
/tmp/ would not be writable otherwise.

One more patch. MacType was observed by several users to cause `GPGME:
Invalid crypto engine` failures in MSYS2. See
<https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/issues/393>.
I also removed two full stops in the sake of consistency.
* faq-using.xml: Add MacType to the BLODA. Fix formatting.

First take on how to describe dereferencing of Cygwin-only symlinks path
components when creating NTFS symlinks.
Note that I haven't tried building the documentation, so I don't know if
the added paragraph breaks anything. Hopefully not.
* pathnames.xml: Add a section describing peculiarities of how Cygwin
creates NTFS symlinks.
