Ensure that the formatted headers are valid.

Fixes the entire class of bugs that [bug 7737] represents.

Fixes various obscure failures with modules randomly failing to compile.

Hides the output from type when it fails to find binaries.

Adds a bit of logging to config.log. This should make it easier to
find out why it sometimes doesn't find the include files.

The timezone definitions have started containing years beyond 2050
(eg the Egypt rule set has rules up to year 2055).

Fixes testsuite failures.

The string_builder API no longer maintains NUL-termination of the
buffer. This caused combine_path_nt() et al to fail intermittently
due to reading past the buffer end.

Also adds a corresponding test.

Fixes [bug 7723].

This avoids prefixing the path with a slash in eg:

  Standards.URI("<foo@example.com>", "mailto:<bar@example.com>");

Fixes "Bad argument 1 to sizeof()." for eg

  Standards.URI("<foo@example.com>", "mailto:<bar@example.com>");

This makes the default value follow the usual calling conventions
where UNDEFINED is equivalent to a left out value.

When preparing a new Debian package of 8.0.240, I noticed that some
documentation disappeared, apparently due to the following. The error
in Nettle.Sign is already corrected but not the others, AFAICT, and
I'm guessing that @exp should be @expr. Patch below, which I home
someone can apply right away.
