* lib/autoconf/functions.m4 (AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R):

Rename ac_cv_func_strerror_r_works to ac_cv_func_strerror_r_char_p,
and rename HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R to STRERROR_R_CHAR_P, since
POSIX decided to standardize on the int flavor of strerror_r.
Always do char* test, as there's no reason not to.
Assign to a char* var, to catch strerror_r that returns int*.

* doc/autoconf.texi (Particular Functions):
Document the above changes.  Also, document the fact that
AC_FUNC_STRERROR_R defines HAVE_DECL_STRERROR_R.

* NEWS: Mention HAVE_WORKING_STRERROR_R -> STRERROR_R_CHAR_P.
