Eric Blake 021c861919 fcntl: port portions of fcntl to mingw
Borrow ideas from dup_cloexec and dup3 to implement F_DUPFD and
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC.  Support querying the inheritance status via
F_GETFD, but for now, no support for changing with F_SETFD.
The remaining portions of fcntl fail with EINVAL.

* m4/fcntl.m4 (gl_FUNC_FCNTL): Also build fcntl.c on mingw.
* lib/fcntl.c (fcntl) <F_DUPFD, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, F_GETFD>: Provide
replacement for mingw.
* modules/fcntl (Description): Update.
(Depends-on): Add dup2.
* m4/fcntl_h.m4 (gl_FCNTL_H_DEFAULTS): Add witness.
* modules/fcntl-h (Makefile.am): Substitute it.
* lib/fcntl.in.h (fcntl): Update declaration.
(F_DUPFD, F_GETFD): New macros, when needed.
* doc/posix-headers/fcntl.texi (fcntl.h): Update documentation.
* doc/posix-functions/fcntl.texi (fcntl): Likewise.
* tests/test-fcntl.c (check_flags, main): Enhance test for items
we now guarantee.

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
@itemize
@item
This function does not support @code{F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC} on some
platforms:
MacOS X 10.3, FreeBSD 6.0, NetBSD 3.0, OpenBSD 3.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11,
IRIX 6.5, OSF/1 5.1, Solaris 10, Cygwin 1.7.1, mingw, Interix 3.5,

Note that the gnulib replacement code is functional but not atomic.
@item
The @code{F_DUPFD} action of this function does not reject
out-of-range targets properly on some platforms:
Cygwin 1.5.x.
@item
This function is missing on some platforms:
mingw.
