Re-enable executable stripping on Mac OS X.

configure.ac:
	Pass -x to strip when linking an executable against Mercury shared
	libraries on Mac OS X.

	Make the up-to-date check require {14.01.-beta,rotd}-2014-05-05
        or later.

scripts/Mercury.config.in:
	Set the default values of --strip-executable-{shared,static}-flags.
Fix resource leaks in dir fold predicates.

The directory stream was not closed if dir.open succeeded in opening
the directory, but failing to read the first entry (which may be as
simple as an empty directory).

The directory stream was also not closed when dir.foldl2_process_dir2
returns an error value.

library/dir.m:
	As above.

tests/hard_coded/Mmakefile:
tests/hard_coded/dir_fold.exp:
tests/hard_coded/dir_fold.m:
	Add regression test.

NEWS:
	Announce change.
Announce recent fixes to the MinGW and MinGW64 ports.

NEWS:

Make the thread_barrier_test a conditional test.

When I added this test recently I forgot to make it condition on any grade
with a par component, or the java and csharp grades.  This patch fixes this.

    As above.
