do not ignore errors like ENOSPC,EIO when writing to stdout
Standard output was never explicitly closed, so we could not
detect failure. Thus, bison would ignore the errors of writing
to a full file system and getting an I/O error on write, but only
for standard output, e.g., for --print-localedir, --print-datadir,
--help and some verbose output.
Now, "bison --print-datadir > /dev/full" reports the write failure:
bison: write error: No space left on device
Before, it would exit 0 with no diagnostic, implying success.
This is not an issue for "--output=-" or the other FILE-accepting
command-line options, because unlike most other GNU programs,
an output file argument of "-" is treated as the literal "./-",
rather than standard output.

doc: clean up naming of various Bison files.
The Bison manual's names for various files associated with a Bison
parser has devolved into inconsistency. This patch makes the
naming consistent for the most important files. First, it chooses
"grammar file" over "input file". The former appears to be more
traditional in the Bison manual, and Bison has other input
files (skeletons). Second, it chooses "parser implementation
file" over names like "parser file", "parser source file", "parser
source code file", and "parser output file". The new name makes
it clearer where Bison generates the main parser implementation,
and it is easily distinguishable from "parser header file".

However, if Bison's limitations to LALR(1), C, and C++ are so
important that they should be mentioned here, then it's important
to point out that Bison is beginning to escape those limitations.
Moreover, these particular experimental features have very little
chance of being removed.

Do not allow identifiers that start with a dash.
This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison
discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'. The previous fixes were less
restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but
the restrictions were hard to explain. That bug was reported and
this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger. This
also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison
parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an
identifier. Now, `-' cannot be an identifier. Discussed in
threads beginning at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2011-01/msg00000.html>,

* NEWS (2.5): Update entry describing the dash extension to
grammar symbol names. Also, move that entry before the named
references entry because the latter mentions the former.
* doc/bison.texinfo (Symbol): Update documentation for symbol
names. As suggested by Paul Eggert, mention the effect of periods
and dashes on named references.
(Decl Summary): Update documentation for unquoted %define values,
which, as a side effect, can no longer start with dashes either.

Improve error messages for `$' or `@' followed by `.' or `-'.
Previously, for this special case of an invalid reference, the
usual "symbol not found in production:" was printed. However,
because the symbol name was parsed as the empty string, that
message was followed immediately by a newline instead of a symbol
name. In reality, this is a syntax error, so the reference is
invalid regardless of the symbols actually appearing in the
production. Discussed at
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bison-patches/2011-01/msg00012.html>.
* src/scan-code.l (parse_ref): Report the above case as a syntax
error. Other than that, continue to handle this case like any
other invalid reference that Bison manages to parse because
"possibly meant" messages can still be helpful to the user.
