AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE: honor current AC_LANG
Previously, AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE collected a list of header names to check, but ran the checks using the AC_LANG that was active during the first encounter of the macro. In practice, this is usually the C language, and we haven't had actual reports of projects attempting to use AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE across multiple languages, rather this was discovered by code inspection. With this patch, the code now tracks a separate per-language list of names to check. Note, however, that it is only possible to check for a given header name in one language; attempting to add a name again under AC_CHECK_HEADERS_ONCE while a different language is active is a no-op (this still makes sense because the side-effect of defining the CPP macro HAVE_HEADER does not include a language prefix). * lib/autoconf/headers.m4 (_AC_CHECK_HEADER_ONCE) (_AC_HEADERS_EXPANSION): * NEWS: Mention it.
