 1.11  28-Mar-2023  rillig lint: warn about extern declarations outside headers

https://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-userlevel/2023/03/15/msg013727.html
 1.10  16-Jun-2022  rillig tests/lint: make expectation lines in the tests more detailed

This commit migrates msg_100 until msg_199.
 1.9  16-Aug-2021  rillig tests/lint: document history of initialization of const members
 1.8  14-Aug-2021  rillig lint: allow initialization of struct with constant member

The operator INIT, just like RETURN and FARG, initializes an object with
an expression. The target object of such an initialization may be a
struct with constant members.

The operator ASSIGN, on the other hand, is entirely different. It
overwrites the existing value of the object, and this is not allowed for
structs that have a constant member. Therefore it was wrong to use the
operator ASSIGN for initialization.
 1.7  10-Aug-2021  rillig lint: fix 3 of the 4 wrong messages about lvalue in initial assignment
 1.6  31-Jul-2021  rillig tests/lint: demonstrate more wrong warnings for const struct members

The code 't_const = false' occurs 4 times in the lint code, each
corresponding to one of the wrong warnings in the test.

This bug has been existing at least since 2001. Back then, the lint
output was:

2001.12.24.20.52.09
| (23): lint error: popctrl() 1
| (15): syntax error [249]
| (19): warning: left operand of 'FARG' must be modifiable lvalue [115]
| (21): syntax error [249]
| (23): warning: function initialize_const_struct_member falls off bottom without returning value [217]
| exit status 1

from 2002.12.06.03.27.39
| (23): lint error: func.c, 168: popctrl()
| (15): warning: left operand of '=' must be modifiable lvalue [115]
| (19): warning: left operand of 'FARG' must be modifiable lvalue [115]
| (21): syntax error [249]
| (23): warning: function initialize_const_struct_member falls off bottom without returning value [217]
| exit status 1
until 2003.10.27.00.12.44
 1.5  31-Jul-2021  rillig tests/lint: demonstrate wrong error message for initialization

Seen in usr.bin/make/var.c:4022 in C99 mode, where a ModChain variable
is initialized and two of the members are const-qualified.
 1.4  31-Jan-2021  rillig lint: add expections to tests

msg_098: fix suffix for floating point constant
msg_127: remove prototype
msg_146: fix return type
 1.3  17-Jan-2021  rillig lint: add test for incrementing const variable
 1.2  08-Jan-2021  rillig lint: add tests for several messages
 1.1  02-Jan-2021  rillig lint: add a test for each message produced by lint1

Having a test for each message ensures that upcoming refactorings don't
break the basic functionality. Adding the tests will also discover
previously unknown bugs in lint.

The tests ensure that every lint message can actually be triggered, and
they demonstrate how to do so. Having a separate file for each test
leaves enough space for documenting historical anecdotes, rationale or
edge cases, keeping them away from the source code.

The interesting details of this commit are in Makefile and
t_integration.sh. All other files are just auto-generated.

When running the tests as part of ATF, they are packed together as a
single test case. Conceptually, it would have been better to have each
test as a separate test case, but ATF quickly becomes very slow as soon
as a test program defines too many test cases, and 50 is already too
many. The time complexity is O(n^2), not O(n) as one would expect.
It's the same problem as in tests/usr.bin/make, which has over 300 test
cases as well.
