lint: make diagnostics about ANSI C more international

lint: warn about function definitions without header declaration

The existing warning was only issued for function declarations, not for
function definitions.

The interesting change in the tests is in msg_351.c.  Many other tests
use non-static functions due to their syntactic brevity.  In these
tests, the warning is disabled individually, to allow new functions to
be added without generating warning 351.

tests/lint: make 'expect+-' comments stricter

Previously, the expectations from these comments were already satisfied
if the expectation occurred somewhere in the actual message from lint.
This meant that the prefix 'error:' or 'warning:' could be omitted from
the 'expect' comment.  These omissions were hard to see in a manual
review.  Now any omissions must be visually marked with '...'.

The test msg_342 now reports its messages properly as being in the file
msg_342.c, rather than msg_341.c.  This had been a copy-and-paste
mistake.

tests/lint: make test for message 118 platform-independent

lint: for shift in C99 mode, do not warn about difference to pre-C90

C99 is too far away from traditional C to make this warning useful.
There are 3 different situations in which this warning is generated:

For '1 << (unsigned char)1', the result type is 'unsigned int' in
traditional C.  The result type is unsigned because at least 1 of the
operators is unsigned, and it is 'unsigned int' because the usual
arithmetic promotions are applied.

For '1 >> (long)1', as well as for '1 << (long)1', the result type is
'long' in traditional C since the usual arithmetic promotions are
applied.

Omitting this warning in C99 mode reduces the amount of lint warnings in
a typical NetBSD release build by approximately 6800 of 107000 total.

tests/lint: add test for '<<' in traditional C

lint: force each test to declare the expected diagnostics

By listing the expected diagnostics directly at the code that triggers
the diagnostics, it is easier to cross-check whether the diagnostics
make sense.

No functional change to lint itself.

lint: add a test for each message produced by lint1

Having a test for each message ensures that upcoming refactorings don't
break the basic functionality.  Adding the tests will also discover
previously unknown bugs in lint.

The tests ensure that every lint message can actually be triggered, and
they demonstrate how to do so.  Having a separate file for each test
leaves enough space for documenting historical anecdotes, rationale or
edge cases, keeping them away from the source code.

The interesting details of this commit are in Makefile and
t_integration.sh.  All other files are just auto-generated.

When running the tests as part of ATF, they are packed together as a
single test case.  Conceptually, it would have been better to have each
test as a separate test case, but ATF quickly becomes very slow as soon
as a test program defines too many test cases, and 50 is already too
many.  The time complexity is O(n^2), not O(n) as one would expect.
It's the same problem as in tests/usr.bin/make, which has over 300 test
cases as well.
