* lisp/format-spec.el: Use lexical-binding. Remove dependence on
subr-x.el.
(format-spec-make): Clarify docstring.
(format-spec--parse-modifiers): Rename to...
(format-spec--parse-flags): ...this and simplify. In particular,
don't bother parsing :space-pad which is redundant and unused.
(format-spec--pad): Remove, replacing with...
(format-spec--do-flags): ...this new helper function which performs
more of format-spec's supported text manipulation.
(format-spec): Autoload. Allow optional argument to take on special
values 'ignore' and 'delete' for more control over what happens when
a replacement for a format specification isn't provided. Bring back
proper support for a precision modifier similar to that of 'format'.
* lisp/battery.el (battery-format): Rewrite in terms of format-spec.
(battery-echo-area-format, battery-mode-line-format): Mention
support of format-spec syntax in docstrings.
* doc/lispref/strings.texi (Custom Format Strings):

Remove extraneous loads and autoloads of format-spec now that it is
autoloaded and simplify its uses where possible.
* test/lisp/battery-tests.el (battery-format): Test new format-spec
support.
* test/lisp/format-spec-tests.el (test-format-spec): Rename to...

This makes the accessors into (inlined) functions (instead of macros),
which simplifies some uses, and it makes the gnus-info-set-<foo>
macros redundant since we can use `setf` instead. Remove them and
update all users.
(gnus-info-group, gnus-info-rank, gnus-info-read, gnus-info-marks)
(gnus-info-method, gnus-info-params): Auto-defined by defstruct.
(gnus-info-level, gnus-info-score): Define as a function. Add gv-setter.
(gnus-info-set-group, gnus-info-set-rank, gnus-info-set-read): Remove,
use `setf` instead.
(gnus-info-set-marks, gnus-info-set-method, gnus-info-set-params):
Define as a function.
(gnus-info-set-entry): Delete function.
(gnus-info--grow-entry): New function, extracted from it.
(gnus-info--set-level, gnus-info--set-score): New functions, extracted
from the `gnus-info-set-level` and `gnus-info-set-score` which they replace.
(gnus-get-info): Define as a function.
* lisp/gnus/gnus-group.el (gnus-group-edit-group-done):
Use the `extend` arg of `gnus-info-set-method`.
(gnus-group-sort-selected-flat): eta-reduce.
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.
This patch should not change behavior. It typically omits backslashes
where they are redundant (e.g., in the string literal "^\$").
In a few places, insert backslashes where they make regular
expressions clearer: e.g., replace "^\*" (equivalent to "^*") with
"^\\*", which has the same effect as a regular expression.
Also, use ‘\ %’ instead of ‘\%’ when avoiding confusion with SCCS IDs,
and similarly use ‘\ $’ instead of ‘\$’ when avoiding confusion with
RCS IDs, as that makes it clearer that the backslash is intended.
