Replace kvhash with gl_map/gl_omap

A list was a clumsy implementation of this; a map is more appropriate.

* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add hash-map, hash-pjw-bare,
rbtree-omap, stdbool, xmap, and xomap; remove rbtreehash-list.

* src/glcontainers.c: New file.
* src/glcontainers.h (string_equals, string_hash, plain_free,
new_string_map, new_string_omap, map_contains, omap_contains): Add
prototypes.
(GL_OMAP_FOREACH_START, GL_OMAP_FOREACH_END): New macros.

* src/format.c (binfmt_new): Take a map rather than a list.
(kvhash_dispose_binfmt): Remove.
* src/format.h (binfmt_new): Update prototype.
(kvhash_dispose_binfmt): Remove prototype.

* src/update-binfmts.c (formats): Declare as a map rather than a list.
(get_import, load_format, act_enable, act_disable, act_install,
act_remove, act_import, act_unimport, act_display, main): Update to the
map API.
(act_import, act_unimport): Free import before returning.

* src/kvhash.c, src/kvhash.h: Remove.

* src/Makefile.am (COMMON): Add glcontainers.c; remove kvhash.c and
kvhash.h.

Fix wrongly-documented "fix_binary" format entry

The manual page says:

| The magic, offset, mask, extension, detector, credentials, preserve, and
| fix-binary options correspond to the command-line options of the same
| names.

However, the code parses "fix_binary" rather than "fix-binary". Use of
"fix-binary" is silently ignored.

Fixes Debian bug #945020.

* man/update-binfmts.man8 (FORMAT FILES): Correct spelling of
"fix_binary" option.

Use macros for common cases of list iteration

* src/glcontainers.h: New file.
* src/Makefile.am (COMMON): Add glcontainers.h.
* src/find.c (find_interpreters): Replace manual list iteration with
equivalent macros.
* src/run-detectors.c (main): Likewise.
* src/update-binfmts.c (act_enable, act_disable, act_display): Likewise.
