alloca() warnings on freebsd

[Giorgos Keramidas]

Some time during the recent past an alloca() prototype was introduced to
config.h that conflicts with the stdlib.h prototype of alloca() on my
FreeBSD laptop.

The current check near line 1148 of config.in is:

    #ifdef HAVE_ALLOCA_H
    # include <alloca.h>
    #elif defined __GNUC__
    # define alloca __builtin_alloca
    #elif defined _AIX
    # define alloca __alloca
    #else
    # include <stddef.h>
    # ifdef  __cplusplus
    extern "C"
    # endif
    void *alloca (size_t);
    #endif

The tricky bit is that FreeBSD *does* have alloca() but not alloca.h, so
the final #else part declares a redundant prototype.  This causes a very
minor but frequent warning for all source files that include config.h:

    In file included from /hg/emacs/gker/lib-src/test-distrib.c:23:
    ../src/config.h:1152:1: warning: "alloca" redefined
    In file included from ../src/config.h:1146,
                     from /hg/emacs/gker/lib-src/test-distrib.c:23:
    /usr/include/stdlib.h:233:1: warning: this is the location of the previous 
definition
    ...

The attached patch is an attempt to fix this for FreeBSD without
breaking alloca() on other platforms.

Does it look ok for trunk?
