This change adds autoconf/automake support for building all of mosh
with gcov, and generates an lcov html report. This allows seeing which
parts ofthe source tree have good test coverage, and which can be
shored up. Eventually, it would be good to hook this up to Github
Actions to be generated automatically.
selfpipe already does a fine job of interfacing to signalfd. But Debian and
Ubuntu want us to depend on the skalibs-dev package rather than build libstddjb
ourselves. That would be fine except that skalibs-dev has static libraries
only, and they aren't built with -fPIC. This interferes with building
mosh-{client,server} as position-independent executables, which is a desirable
security measure.
So we have our own wrapper, which invokes either signalfd or selfpipe. And we
build it ourselves with our own flags, because it's part of the Mosh project
proper.

clang was spewing warnings about the unrecognized -fno-default-inline. (Oddly,
it warns only with -c, not when compiling directly to an executable.) For
completeness we also check -pipe, even though clang is OK with that one.
It should be fine to omit either flag. gcc -fno-default-inline drops the
implicit 'inline' annotation on functions defined inside a class scope, but
'inline' is only a hint anyway. -fno-default-inline does not change linkage.
-pipe is merely a compile speed optimization.
This turns off -Werror by default except in the Debian package.
-Werror is inherently unportable and breaks things on OS X. While it
can cause problems in Debian too, this is at least a little better.
It also turns off -pedantic in src/protobufs, because apparently
protoc output doesn’t compile with -pedantic on all platforms.
