OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently
register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour
libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well
as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}.
However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc -
and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance,
e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via
Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code
to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself
need not be aware of how it is located.
This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance:
{via, Module, Name}.
Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl,
namely:
register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no
whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined
unregister_name(Name) -> ok
send(Name, Msg) -> Pid
Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl
This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted.

Port the gen_fsm code for format_status to gen_event in order to
prevent a lists:concat([...,pid()]) crash when calling
sys:get_status/1 on an unregistered gen_event process.
Refactor format_status header code from gen_* behaviours to module gen.
Extend the format_status tests in gen_event_SUITE to cover
format_status bugs with anonymous gen_event processes.

The gen_server and gen_fsm behaviors support the format_status
callback to allow developers to specialize how callback module state
appears within the return value of sys:get_status and within logged
output resulting from abnormal process termination. This patch adds
similar support to gen_event.
Event handlers that export a format_status/2 function, which is an
optional callback, and are registered with an event manager will now
have their format_status callbacks invoked when sys:get_status is
called on the event manager. The term returned from format_status for
this case replaces the default handler state in the sys:get_status
return value.
This patch also extends gen_event to call an event handler's
format_status function (if it exports one) should the handler
terminate abnormally. The term returned from format_status is logged
in place of the handler's state. This is intended to allow developers
to control how much output is logged in the case of abnormal
termination.
The documentation is appropriately extended and new unit tests are
added to cover the new gen_event format_status functionality.

* bg/cleanup-tests:
file_SUITE: eliminate a warning for an unused variable
kernel tests: modernize guard tests
unicode_SUITE: replace deprecated concat_binary/1 with list_to_binary/1
stdlib tests: modernize guard tests
Test suites: fix creation of Emakefiles

Don't change any guard tests in the id_transform_SUITE
module, because it intentionally use the old guard tests
to test that id_transform can handle them.
