commit 413aa7c271260e8d0cc6579e49e353e6dc8e3b79

    doc: moved all documentation (and its build process) into the doc directory
    
    This relocation has the advantage that makeinfo needs no more magic -I
    flags to find the generated macro texi files from the top-level; now
    those files reside all within on directory.

    AX_CXX_HELPFUL_TERMINATE_HANDLER: initial version
    
    Submitted by Kevin Locke in 
<https://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php?7005>:
    
     | As a compliment (or possibly replacement) to the current
     | AX_CXX_VERBOSE_TERMINATE_HANDLER macro, I present the
     | AX_CXX_HELPFUL_TERMINATE_HANDLER macro. Rather than specifically looking 
for
     | the GNU libstdc++ verbose_terminate_handler, this macro uses a test 
program
     | which throws an uncaught exception then checks if the output contains
     | information about the exception. This way it can detect helpful terminate
     | handlers other than the current one provided with GNU libstdc++.
     |
     | The design of this macro is not perfect. Most importantly, the logic for
     | capturing and testing the output of the test program is not very 
elegant. I
     | had first attempted to check for output from within the test program (by
     | redirecting std::cerr, capturing SIGABRT, etc.) but it was excessively 
ugly
     | and not very portable. The result is that the logic in the macro itself 
is a
     | little more awkward so that the test program is trivial. I think it was a
     | good trade, but feedback is welcome.
