These were inadvertently lost during the conversion to Gnulib (gnulib:
Upgrade Gnulib and switch to bootstrap tool; commit 35b909062). The
files in po/gettext-patches/ can be imported using "git am" on top of
the gettext tag corresponding to AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in configure.ac
(currently 0.18.3). They handle translation of messages in shell files,
make msgfmt output in little-endian format, and arrange to use @SHELL@
rather than /bin/sh.
There were some changes solely for the purpose of distributing extra
files; for ease of maintenance, I've added these to
conf/Makefile.extra-dist instead.

This patch updates the miniLZO library to a newer version, which among other
things fixes "CVE-2014-4607 - lzo: lzo1x_decompress_safe() integer overflow"
that is present in the current used in GRUB.
It also updates the "GRUB Developers Manual", to mention that the library is
used and describes the process to update it to a newer release when needed.

The upcoming support for LUKS2 encryption will require a JSON parser to
decode all parameters required for decryption of a drive. As there is
currently no other tool that requires JSON, and as gnulib does not
provide a parser, we need to introduce a new one into the code base. The
backend for the JSON implementation is going to be the jsmn library [1].
It has several benefits that make it a very good fit for inclusion in
GRUB:
- It is licensed under MIT.
- It is written in C89.
- It has no dependencies, not even libc.
- It is small with only about 500 lines of code.
- It doesn't do any dynamic memory allocation.
- It is testen on x86, amd64, ARM and AVR.
The library itself comes as a single header, only, that contains both
declarations and definitions. The exposed interface is kind of
simplistic, though, and does not provide any convenience features
whatsoever. Thus there will be a separate interface provided by GRUB
around this parser that is going to be implemented in the following
commit. This change only imports jsmn.h from tag v1.1.0 and adds it
unmodified to a new json module with the following command:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zserge/jsmn/v1.1.0/jsmn.h \
-o grub-core/lib/json/jsmn.h

Current comments forms are annoying, so, some of them are disallowed
starting from now. New rules are more flexible and mostly aligned
with, e.g., Linux kernel comments rules.

Upgrade Gnulib files to 20190105.
It's much easier to maintain GRUB's use of portability support files
from Gnulib when the process is automatic and driven by a single
configuration file, rather than by maintainers occasionally running
gnulib-tool and committing the result. Removing these
automatically-copied files from revision control also removes the
temptation to hack the output in ways that are difficult for future
maintainers to follow. Gnulib includes a "bootstrap" program which is
designed for this.
The canonical way to bootstrap GRUB from revision control is now
"./bootstrap", but "./autogen.sh" is still useful if you just want to
generate the GRUB-specific parts of the build system.
GRUB now requires Autoconf >= 2.63 and Automake >= 1.11, in line with
Gnulib.
Gnulib source code is now placed in grub-core/lib/gnulib/ (which should
not be edited directly), and GRUB's patches are in
grub-core/lib/gnulib-patches/. I've added a few notes to the developer
manual on how to maintain this.
