stdbool: don't require _Bool for C++
Problem reported by David Seifert in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2016-06/msg00005.html * NEWS, doc/posix-headers/stdbool.texi (stdbool.h): Document this. * m4/stdbool.m4 (AC_CHECK_HEADER_STDBOOL): Make the check more-forgiving for C++, in that it requires only 'bool'. Be a bit stricter about checking that bool and _Bool are compatible in C.
