Corinna Vinschen 7d5d232b50 * path.sgml: Remove documentation for old path API. Add documentation
for new path API.
	* security.sgml: New file to document cygwin_set_impersonation_token
	and cygwin_logon_user with only eight years of delay.
	* shared.sgml: Remove file.
	* include/sys/cygwin.h (cygwin32_attach_handle_to_fd): Move declaration
	into fully deprecated function block.
	(cygwin_logon_user): Move declaration down to declaration of
	cygwin_set_impersonation_token.

<para>This is equivalent to the <function>cygwin_conv_path</function>, except
that <function>cygwin_create_path</function> does not take a buffer pointer
for the result of the conversion as input. Rather it allocates the buffer
itself using <function>malloc</function>(3) and returns a pointer to this

errno can be set to the below value.</para>
