etags had undefined behavior if input files, lines, tags, etc.,
had more than INT_MAX bytes.  Clean up the usage of integer types
to fix the overflow errors I found.
* admin/merge-gnulib (GNULIB_MODULES): Add mempcpy.
* lib-src/etags.c: Include inttypes.h, intprops.h.
(memcpyz): New function.  Use it to simplify several occurrences
of memcpy followed by storing a trailing '\0'.
(xnew): Use xnmalloc, to catch overflow on integer multiplication.
(xrnew): Change last arg to multiplier.  The type is not needed.
All callers changed.
(node, lineno, charno, linecharno, invalidcharno, make_tag):
(pfnote, add_node, number_len, C_symtype, lbz, Makefile_targets)
(readline):
Use intmax_t for line numbers and character positions, instead of
int or long.
(linebuffer, make_tag, pfnote, total_size_of_entries, put_entry)
(in_word_set, C_symtype, token, cstack, pushclass_above):
(popclass_above, write_classname, consider_token, C_entries)
(Ruby_functions, Makefile_targets, Lua_functions, TeX_commands)
(TeX_decode_env, erlang_func, erlang_attribute, erlang_atom)
(substitute, regex_tag_multiline, nocase_tail, readline_interval)
(readline, savenstr, concat, etags_getcwd, relative_filename)
(linebuffer_setlen):
Use ptrdiff_t for object sizes, instead of int or long or unsigned
or size_t.
(write_classname, C_entries):
Avoid sprintf, as the result could exceed INT_MAX bytes
and then behavior goes haywire.
(main): Use int, instead of unsigned, for argv counts.
(get_language_from_filename): Use bool for boolean.
(Ruby_functions): Prefer strcpy to memcpy when copying "=".
(linebuffer_setlen): Use ‘if’ instead of ‘while’.
(memory_full, xnmalloc, xnrealloc): New functions.
(xmalloc): Use memory_full, and take a ptrdiff_t instead of a size_t.
(xrealloc): Remove; no longer needed.
* lib/gnulib.mk.in, m4/gnulib-comp.m4: Regenerate.
* lib/mempcpy.c, m4/mempcpy.m4: New files, copied from Gnulib.
