Dodji Seketeli b36ca1501e Bug 20180 - Support system-wide suppression specifications
This patch adds support for loading system and user level suppression
specifications for libabigail tools.

At launch time, relevant libabigail tools (abidiff, abipkgdiff
fedabipkgdiff for now) read the default system suppression
specification file, if it's present, from a file which path is the
value of the environment variable
LIBABIGAIL_DEFAULT_SYSTEM_SUPPRESSION_FILE, if set, or from the file
$libdir/libabigail/default.abignore.

Then it reads the user system suppression specification file, if it's
present, from a file which path is the value of the environment
variable LIBABIGAIL_DEFAULT_USER_SUPPRESSION_FILE, if set, or from the
file $HOME/.abignore.

The content of the user system suppression file is merged with the
content of default system suppression file.

That content is also merged with the content of the suppression
specification files that might be provided by the --suppressions
command line option of the invoked tools.

The resulting set of all these suppression specifications is thus used
to filter the ABI change reports that are emitted.

abidiff, abipkgdiff and abipkgdiff gain a --no-default-suppression
option to avoid loading any of these default suppression specification
files.

The patch also installs a default.abignore file into $(pkglibdir).
Note that on x86_64, that directory is /usr/lib64/libabigail.  Now we
just need to think about the content of that default.abignore file.

	* doc/manuals/abidiff.rst: Document the default suppression
	scheme, its interaction with the --supprs option and the new
	--no-default option.
	* doc/manuals/abipkgdiff.rst: Likewise.

	* configure.ac: Generate the tests/runtestdefaultsupprs.py file
	from the new tests/runtestdefaultsupprs.py.in template.
	* default.abignore: New file.
	* Makefile.am: Add it to source distribution.
	* src/Makefile.am: Define the ABIGAIL_ROOT_SYSTEM_LIBDIR
	preprocessor macro that is set the value of the $libdir autotools

	(load_default_user_suppressions): Define new functions.
	(is_regular_file): Amend this so that it return true for symlinks
	to regular files too.
	(is_dir): Amend this so that it returns true for symlinks to
	directories too.
	* tools/abidiff.cc (options::no_default_supprs): New data member.
	(options::options): Initialize the new data member.
	(display_usage): Display a new help string for the new
	--no-default-suppression command line option.
	(parse_command_line): Parse this new command line option.
	(set_diff_context_from_opts): Load the default suppression
	specifications, unless --no-default-suppression or --supprs was
	provided.
	* tools/abipkgdiff.cc (options::no_default_supprs): New data
	member.
	(options::options): Initialize the new data member.
	(parse_command_line): Parse the new --no-default-suppression
	command line option.
	(main): Load the default suppression specifications, unless
	--no-default-suppression or --supprs was provided.
	* tools/fedabipkgdiff (abipkgdiff): Add --no-default-suppression
	to the invocation of abipkgdiff if it was provided on the command
	line.
	(build_commandline_args_parser): Parse the new
	--no-default-suppression command line option.
	* tests/runtestdefaultsupprs.py.in: New test harness template.
	* tests/Makefile.am: Add the new runtestdefaultsupprs.py to the
	set of tests.
	* tests/data/test-default-supprs/test0-type-suppr-0.suppr: New
