Gnulib module: stdio, nonblocking

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module stdio, together with module nonblocking:

• When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function fails with errno being set to EINVAL instead of EAGAIN on some platforms: mingw, MSVC 9.

Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:

• On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set errno upon failure.
• This function crashes if the stream's file descriptor has already been closed, if MSVC_INVALID_PARAMETER_HANDLING is HAIRY_LIBRARY_HANDLING or SANE_LIBRARY_HANDLING, on some platforms: MSVC 9.
