Fix some nits reported by twlevo.

* doc/FAQ: Remove ancient Y2K FAQ, replacing it with "secure"
and "POSIX".  Use more-modern syntax for URLs.  Mention C++
and ask for Java.  Don't hardwire OS version numbers.  Add
copyright notice.
* m4/.cvsignore: Add unistd_h.m4, for latest gnulib.
* src/conflicts.c (solved_conflicts_obstack): Now static.
