This mostly changes http: to https: in URLs. It also updates
some URLs that have moved, removes some URLs that no longer
work, recommends against using procmail (procmail.org no
longer works), and removes some mentions of the
no-longer-existing Gmane, LPF and VTW.
It doesn't update all URLs, just the ones I had time for.

* src/lread.c (Fload):
Go back to treating trouble in determining the answer as if the
file were missing.
* src/fileio.c (Ffile_newer_than_file_p): Use file_attribute_errno
not file_test_errno, since returning nil is not appropriate when
there are two files to test; e.g., in the rare cases where both

* src/fns.c (Fmd5, Fsecure_hash):
* lisp/subr.el (sha1): Doc fix to recommend against SHA-1 and MD5 for

(External methods) <scpx, pscp, psftp>: Mention, that the remote
login shell could be changed.
(Remote shell setup): Remove description of properties
"remote-shell-login" and "remote-shell-args", they don't matter

* lisp/net/tramp-sh.el (tramp-default-remote-shell): New defconst.

prefer .emacs.d if a traditional .emacs file exists.
Signal an error for file-oriented errors that are not tame
errors like ENOENT and ENOTDIR (Bug#37389).
Do this for primitives exposed to Lisp; the lower
level internal C API merely makes errno values available
to higher-level C code.
* doc/lispref/files.texi (Testing Accessibility)
(File Attributes, Extended Attributes): Do not say that the
functions return nil when the return value cannot be determined.
* etc/NEWS: Mention the change.

about opening a file vs getting its attributes.
(file_attributes): Signal serious errors.
* src/fileio.c (check_existing, check_executable)

* src/lread.c (Fload):
Signal serious errors.
* src/fileio.c (Ffile_writable_p): Remove unnecessary CHECK_STRING.
(emacs_readlinkat): Now static.
* src/filelock.c (current_lock_owner, lock_if_free): Return a
positive errno on error, and the negative of the old old value
on success. All callers changed.
* src/lread.c (openp): Propagate serious errno values to caller.
* src/w32font.c (struct font_callback_data): New member
'known_fonts'.
(w32font_list_internal, w32font_match_internal): Set up
match_data.known_fonts if the font spec includes :script that
names one of the non-USB scripts.
(add_font_entity_to_list): If font_matches_spec returns zero
for a font, and we have some fonts in match_data->known_fonts,
consider the font to be a match if it is named in known_fonts.
(font_supported_scripts): Update the Unicode Subranges. In
particular, map bit 74 to 'burmese', as this is the name Emacs
uses, not 'myanmar'. Add a list of scripts that have no USBs
defined for them.
(syms_of_w32font) <Qburmese, Qcuneiform_numbers_and_punctuation>
<Qaegean_number, Qw32_non_USB_fonts>: New symbols.

* lisp/international/fontset.el (setup-default-fontset): Add
more scripts to automatic setup by representative characters.
* doc/emacs/msdos.texi (Windows Fonts): Document
'w32-find-non-USB-fonts' and 'w32-non-USB-fonts'.
* etc/NEWS: Mention 'w32-find-non-USB-fonts' and
'w32-non-USB-fonts'.

* lib/regex_internal.c, lib/verify.h: Copy from Gnulib.
* doc/lispref/display.texi (Display-Margins): Clarify that
left/right-margin-width can not be used to determine the current margin width,

and the XDG conventions seem to have settled down by now.

* doc/lispref/files.texi (Standard File Names):
* doc/lispref/os.texi (Init File):
* doc/misc/url.texi (Customization):

Prefer XDG configuration if it exists.
