When compiling a Gnulib testdir with clang15 with -std=gnu2x option,
I see this compilation error:
../../gltests/test-limits-h.c:113:22: error: use of undeclared identifier
'BOOL_MAX'
int bool_attrs[] = { BOOL_MAX, BOOL_WIDTH };
^
../../gltests/test-limits-h.c:114:16: error: use of undeclared identifier
'BOOL_MAX'
static_assert (BOOL_MAX == (((1U << (BOOL_WIDTH - 1)) - 1) * 2) + 1);
^
2 errors generated.
make[4]: *** [Makefile:23558: test-limits-h.o] Error 1
The reason is that clang's <limits.h> defines BOOL_WIDTH but not BOOL_MAX.
This patch provides a workaround.

limits-h: Work around a clang 15 bug.
* m4/limits-h.m4 (gl_LIMITS_H): Test also for BOOL_MAX.
* doc/posix-headers/limits.texi: Mention the clang bug.
