And here's a proposed simplification: Deprecate the 'fnmatch-posix'
module, and let the 'fnmatch' module take over its role. (Like we do
for the 'getpass' vs. 'getpass-gnu' modules.)
Any objections?

* modules/fnmatch (Description, configure.ac): Taken from
fnmatch-posix.
* modules/fnmatch-posix: Turn into a symbolic reference to the
'fnmatch' module, and deprecate.
* doc/posix-functions/fnmatch.texi: Mention the fnmatch module.
