Fix building, installing, and testing extensions on MS-Windows.
test/Makefile.in (mpfr-tests, shlib-tests): Add a blank character between ' and /FOO/ in Gawk command lines, for the benefit of testing under MSYS Bash. test/filefuncs.awk (BEGIN): Call 'stat' on gawkapi.o, not on gawk, which does not exist on systems that produce gawk.exe. README_D/README.pc: Update the pc build and test instructions. pc/Makefile.tst (AWK): Set AWKLIBPATH so extensions could be found. (LS): New variable. (check): Add back shlib-tests and shlib-msg-end. (readdir): Add a warning regarding inode reporting by ls.exe. (fts, fork, fork2): Add message about expected failure on MinGW. pc/Makefile (install): Install the extensions. (install-strip): Likewise. pc/Makefile.ext: New file. io.c (devopen) [__EMX__ || __MINGW32__]: Produce EISDIR on MinGW when an attempt to open() a directory fails. (two_way_open) [__EMX__ || __MINGW32__]: When trying to open() a directory fails with EISDIR, assign FAKE_FD_VALUE to the file descriptor and attributes of a directory to its mode bits. This is needed to support the readdir extension. gawkapi.h (FAKE_FD_VALUE): New macro, used in io.h and in extension/gawkdirfd.h. extension/rwarray.c [__MINGW32__]: Include winsock2.h instead of arpa/inet.h. extension/readdir.c [__MINGW32__]: Include windows.h. Include gawkapi.h before gawkdirfd.h, since the former defines FAKE_FD_VALUE needed by the latter. (ftype): Accept an additional argument, the directory that is being read. Callers changed. [!DT_BLK]: Produce the file's type by calling 'stat' on it, if the dirent structure doesn't provide that. (get_inode): New function, to produce inode values on MS-Windows. (dir_get_record): Use it. extension/inplace.c (chown, link) [__MINGW32__]: Redirect to existing library functions. (mkstemp) [__MINGW32__]: New function, for MinGW, which doesn't have it in its library. (do_inplace_end) [__MINGW32__]: Remove the old file before renaming the new, since 'rename' on Windows cannot overwrite existing files. extension/gawkdirfd.h (ENOTSUP): Define to ENOSYS if not already defined. (DIR_TO_FD): If not defined yet, define to FAKE_FD_VALUE. extension/filefuncs.c (get_inode) [_WIN32]: New function, produces the file index used on Windows as its inode. (fill_stat_array) [_WIN32]: Use it.
