Gnulib module: stdio, nonblocking

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module stdio, together with module nonblocking:

• When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function fails with errno being set to EINVAL instead of EAGAIN on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• C99 and POSIX.1-2001 and later require end-of-file to be sticky, that is, they require this function to act as if it reads end-of-file if feof would return nonzero. However, on some systems this function attempts to read from the underlying file descriptor even if the stream's end-of-file indicator is set. These systems include glibc and default Solaris.
• On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set errno upon failure.
• On Windows, this function doesn't support the hh, ll, j, t, z size specifiers.
