[PATCH 4/4] yacc.c: provide the Bison version as an integral macro

[Akim Demaille]

Suggested by Balazs Scheidler.
https://github.com/akimd/bison/issues/55

* src/muscle-tab.c (muscle_init): Move/rename `b4_version` to/as...
* src/output.c (prepare): `b4_version_string`.
Also define `b4_version`.
* data/skeletons/bison.m4, data/skeletons/c.m4, data/skeletons/d.m4,
* data/skeletons/java.m4: Adjust.
* doc/bison.texi: Document it.

   In Yacc mode, all the tokens are defined twice: once as an enum, and then
   as a macro.  YYEMPTY was missing its macro.
 
+** Changes
+
+  The YYBISON macro in generated "regular C parsers" (from the "yacc.c"
+  skeleton) used to be defined to 1.  It is now defined to the version of
+  Bison as an integer (e.g., 30704 for versions 3.7.4).

 * Noteworthy changes in release 3.7.3 (2020-10-13) [stable]
