Previously GStreamer got access to the libcheck interface by including
libs/gst/check/check.h which in turn included internal-check.h in the
same directory. internal-check.h was generated by copying
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h which in turn was generated from
check.h.in in the same directory. In this case generating
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h is unnecessary, in addition this file
was accidentally distributed in generated project tarballs.
Now libs/gst/check/internal-check.h is generated directly from
libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h.in by configure. This means that the
libcheck source must include internal-check.h instead of the previously
generated libs/gst/check/libcheck/check.h. However the unnecessary
intermediate step is now skipped.

Reintroduced patches:
* Make sure that fail_if(1) actually fails
from commit 9f99d056a2
New patches due to updated libcheck (based on 0.9.14):
* Checks in m4/check-checks.m4 to cater for new dependencies
* Conditional compile-time compat POSIX fallbacks for libcheck
* Avoid relative paths for libcheck header files
* Make timer_create() usage depend on posix timers, not librt
* Rely on default AX_PTHREAD behavior to allow HAVE_PTHREAD to be used
when checking for types and functions (like clock_gettime())
* Avoid double declaration of clock_gettime() when availabe outside of
librt by making compat clock_gettime() declaration conditional
* check 0.9.9 renamed _fail_unless() and 0.9.12 later renamed it again
to _ck_assert_failed(), so ASSERT_{CRITICAL,WARNING}() now calls this
function
* Remove libcheck fallback infrastructure for malloc(), realloc(),
gettimeofday() and snprintf() since either they appear to be
available or they introduce even more dependencies.
The result is an embedded check in gstreamer that has been tested by
running check tests in core, -base, -good, -bad, -ugly and rtsp-server
on Linux, OSX and Windows.

This lifts the files almost verbatim (the changes being running though
gst-indent and fixing the FSF address) from the upstream respository.
Therefore this commit reverts some GStreamer-specific patches to check
that will be reintroduced next.

exit() will call atexit handlers, which may try to
clean up things or wait for things to get cleaned up,
which we don't want or need. We just want to stop
and let the parent know about the failure as quickly
as possible in case fork() is used.
Fixes timeouts on assert failures in checks where
an exit handler waits for things to stop, but they
don't stop because they haven't been shut down,
and they haven't been shut down because there's no
simple way to do so on failures.

Include unistd.h so that _POSIX_VERSION is actually defined when
it should be defined. Without that, stuff like fail_if(1) doesn't
actually fail, presumably because other parts of the code do include
unistd.h and then have _POSIX_VERSION defined.
Fixes#604565 even more.
