Don't prevent random file systems from being unmounted.

This fix relies on having the 'fchdir' function, and on having
"." be searchable (or at least readable, on platforms lacking O_SEARCH),
but that's good enough to handle the vast majority of cases and the
remaining folks can just live with the annoyance of file systems
that occasionally can't be unmounted.
* configure.ac (fchdir): New function to check for.
* lib/save-cwd.c: Copy from gnulib, except omit the part that
allocates memory, since that can cause problems in Emacs.
* lib/save-cwd.h: Copy from gnulib.

/* Record the location of the current working directory in CWD so that
the program may change to other directories and later use restore_cwd
to return to the recorded location. This function may allocate
space using malloc (via getcwd) or leave a file descriptor open;
use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close. Upon failure,
no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are
closed; return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be
called, but doing so is ok. Otherwise, return zero.
The _raison d'etre_ for this interface is that the working directory
is sometimes inaccessible, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient.
So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on
getcwd if necessary. This module works for most cases with just
the getcwd-lgpl module, but to be truly robust, use the getcwd module.
Some systems lack fchdir altogether: e.g., OS/2, pre-2001 Cygwin,
SCO Xenix. Also, SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it
doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled. If
you're still using an obsolete system with these problems, please
send email to the maintainer of this code. */
