    Don't let very long directory names overrun the stack. · c365c355

    Fix some related minor problems involving "//", vfork.
    * callproc.c (encode_current_directory): New function.
    (call_process): Don't append "/"; not needed.
    * fileio.c (file_name_as_directory_slop): New constant.
    (file_name_as_directory): Allow SRC to be longer than SRCLEN;
    this can save the caller having to alloca.
    (Ffile_name_as_directory, Fdirectory_file_name, Fexpand_file_name):
    Use SAFE_ALLOCA, not alloca.
    (directory_file_name, Fexpand_file_name): Leave leading "//"
    alone, since it can be special even on POSIX platforms.
    * callproc.c (call_process):
    * process.c (Fformat_network_address):
    * sysdep.c (sys_subshell):
    Use encode_current_directory rather than rolling our own.
    (create_process): No need to encode directory; caller does that now.
    * process.h (encode_current_directory): New decl.
    * sysdep.c (sys_subshell): Work even if vfork trashes saved_handlers.
    Rework to avoid 'goto xyzzy;'.
