Avery Pennarun 3dbdfbc06f Better handling if parent closes REDO_CHEATFDS or MAKEFLAGS fds.
Silently recover if REDO_CHEATFDS file descriptors are closed, because
they aren't completely essential and MAKEFLAGS-related warnings already
get printed if all file descriptors have been closed.

If MAKEFLAGS --jobserver-auth flags are closed, improve the error
message so that a) it's a normal error instead of an exception and b)
we link to documentation about why it happens.  Also write some more
detailed documentation about what's going on here.

redo - a recursive build system

Smaller, easier, more powerful, and more reliable than make.

This is an implementation of Daniel J. Bernstein's redo build system. He never released his version, so other people have implemented different variants based on his published specification.

This version, sometimes called apenwarr/redo, is probably the most advanced one, including parallel builds, improved logging, extensive automated tests, and helpful debugging features.

To build and test redo, run ./do -j10 test. To install it, run DESTDIR=/tmp/testinstall PREFIX=/usr/local ./do -j10 install.
