Details:

Some of Octave's public header files do not include the necessary headers or
forward declarations for types used in their own declarations.

* gl-render.h: include file oct-opengl.h not found, private header?
* gl2ps-print.h: ditto
* load-save.h: octave_value_list not defined
* oct-hist.h: interpreter, octave_value, and octave_value_list not defined
* pager.h: octave_value_list not defined
* pt-tm-const.h: octave::tree_matrix incomplete type (forward decl not good
enough)
* settings.h: octave_value and size_t not defined

The file settings.h is new in Octave 5. The rest of these files all included
cleanly in Octave 4.4.1.

The following shell code was used to test all include files:


for f in $(find $octincludedir -type f -name '*.h' -print | grep -Ev
'mex|ov-intx'); do
  n=$(basename $f)
  echo "#include <$n>" > foo.cc
  cat foo.cc
  mkoctfile-5.0.1 -c foo.cc
done
