Flymake backends that rely on sentinels running asynchronously and
checking buffer-local variables that hold running processes should
check for obsoleteness in the correct buffers, otherwise a (harmless)
warning might be triggered.

Fix some confusing parts of Flymake user documentation, like a
repeated listing of situations leading to a syntax check.
Documentation is now divided into three chapters only: "Using
Flymake", "Extending Flymake", and a chapter for the legacy backend.
Obsolete mention of "errors" and "lines" is replaced by
"diagnostics/problems" and "regions" where appropriate.

The first of these problems is longstanding: if an error-less B.h is
included from error-ridden A.h, flymake's legacy parser will panic
(and disable itself) since it sees a non-zero exit for a clean file.
To fix this, recommend returning 'true' in the documentation for the
check-syntax target.
Another problem was introduced by the parser rewrite. For error
patterns spanning more than one line, point may be left in the middle
of a line and thus render other patterns useless. Those patterns were
written for the old line-by-line parser. To make them useful again,
move to the beginning of line in those situations.
The third problem was also longstanding and happened on newer GCC's:
The "In file included from" prefix confused
flymake-proc-get-real-file-name. Fix this.
Also updated flymake--diag-region to fallback to highlighting a full
line less often.
Add automatic tests to check this.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake-proc.el
(flymake-proc--diagnostics-for-pattern): Fix bug when patterns
accidentally spans more than one line. Don't create
diagnostics without error messages.
(flymake-proc-real-file-name-considering-includes): New
helper.
(flymake-proc-allowed-file-name-masks): Use it.
* lisp/progmodes/flymake.el (flymake-diag-region): Make COL
argument explicitly optional. Only fall back to full line in extreme
cases.
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-tests.el
(included-c-header-files): New test.
(different-diagnostic-types): Update.
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-resources/Makefile

(CC_OPTS): Add -Wextra
* test/lisp/progmodes/flymake-resources/errors-and-warnings.c
(main): Rewrite comments.

* doc/misc/flymake.texi (Example---Configuring a tool called
via make): Recommend adding "|| true" to the check-syntax target.
This fixes some URLs I omitted from my previous pass,
notably those in lists.gnu.org. Although lists.gnu.org
does not yet support TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0 is better than nothing.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-official-location):
* lisp/mail/emacsbug.el (report-emacs-bug):
Use https:, not http:.
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Built-ins): eshell/sudo is a compiled
Lisp function in `em-tramp.el'. Mention also $*, $1, $2, ...
(Aliases): Add $*, $1, $2, ... to the variable index.
It broke the established argument handling methods provided by eshell
aliases (Bug#28568).
* doc/misc/eshell.texi (Aliases): Fix example, call out use of
arguments in aliases.
* lisp/eshell/em-alias.el (eshell-maybe-replace-by-alias): Ignore
ARGS.
* doc/misc/trampver.texi:
* lisp/net/trampver.el: Change version to "2.3.3.26.1".
(customize-package-emacs-version-alist): Add Tramp version
integrated in Emacs 26.1.
Most of this change is to boilerplate commentary such as license URLs.
This change was prompted by ftp://ftp.gnu.org's going-away party,
planned for November. Change these FTP URLs to https://ftp.gnu.org
instead. Make similar changes for URLs to other organizations moving
away from FTP. Also, change HTTP to HTTPS for URLs to gnu.org and
fsf.org when this works, as this will further help defend against
man-in-the-middle attacks (for this part I omitted the MS-DOS and
MS-Windows sources and the test tarballs to keep the workload down).
HTTPS is not fully working to lists.gnu.org so I left those URLs alone
for now.
