HP-UX hardware is no longer produced, build farm coverage recently
ended, and there are no known active maintainers targeting this OS.
Since there is a major rewrite of the build system in the pipeline for
PostgreSQL 16, and that requires development, testing and maintainance
for each OS and tool chain, it seems like a good time to drop support
for:
* HP-UX, the operating system.
* HP aCC, the HP-UX native compiler.

Oversight in commit e2f0f8ed. Also add this file to the exclusion lists
in headerscheck and cpluscpluscheck, because Unix systems don't have a
header it includes.

unicode_east_asian_fw_table.h should not be compiled standalone, similarly
to unicode_combining_table.h, but cpluspluscheck did not get the memo.
Oversight in bab982161.
Per report from Tom Lane
headerscheck and cpluspluscheck should skip the recently-added
cmdtaglist.h header, since (like kwlist.h and some other similarly-
designed headers) it's not meant to be included standalone.
evtcache.h was missing an #include to support its usage of Bitmapset.
typecmds.h was missing an #include to support its usage of ParseState.
The first two of these were evidently oversights in commit 2f9661311.
I didn't track down exactly which change broke typecmds.h, but it
must have been some rearrangement in one of its existing inclusions,
because it's referenced ParseState for quite a long time and there
were not complaints from these checking programs before.
src/include/common/unicode_combining_table.h is currently not meant to
be included standalone. Things could be refactored to allow it, but
that would be beyond the present purpose. So adding an exclusion here
seems best.

We already had "cpluspluscheck", which served the dual purposes of
verifying that headers compile standalone and that they compile as C++.
However, C++ compilers don't have the exact same set of error conditions
as C compilers, so this doesn't really prove that a header will compile
standalone as C.
Hence, add a second script that's largely similar but runs the C
compiler not C++.
Also add a bit more documentation than the none-at-all we had before.

Teach it to scrape -I and -D switches from CPPFLAGS in Makefile.global.
This is useful for testing on, eg, FreeBSD, where you won't get far
without "-I/usr/local/include".
Also, expand the set of blacklisted-for-unportability atomics headers,
based on noting that arch-x86.h fails to compile on an ARM box. The
other ones I'd omitted seem to compile all right on architectures they
don't belong to, but that's surely too shaky to rely on. Let's do
like we did for the src/include/port/ headers, and ignore all except
the variant that's pulled in by the arch-independent header.
Declaring a function "inline" still doesn't work with Windows compilers
(C99? what's that?), unless the macro provided by pg_config.h is
in-scope, which it is not in our ECPG test programs. So the workaround
I tried to use in commit 7640f9312 doesn't work for Windows. Revert
the change in printf_hack.h, and instead just blacklist that file
in cpluspluscheck --- since it's a not-installed test file, we don't
really need to verify its C++ cleanliness anyway.
Formerly, cpluspluscheck was only meant to examine headers that
we thought of as exported --- but its notion of what we export
was well behind the times. Let's just make it check *all* .h
files, except for a well-defined blacklist, instead.
While at it, improve its ability to use a C++ compiler other than g++,
by scraping the CXX setting from Makefile.global and making it possible
to override the warning options used (per suggestion from Andres Freund).

This is slower than the original coding but avoids the problem of
including files in an unpredictable order. Aside from being more
trustworthy, we can get rid of some exclusions that were formerly
made for what turn out to be ordering or re-inclusion problems.
I also modified it to include libpq's exported files in the check.
ecpg should be included as well, but I'm unclear on which ecpg .h
files are meant to be included by clients.
This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar
identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still
(probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers.

Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the
future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.
