Undo recent changes for restoring it->saved_face_id. Instead, set it when it->method is set to next_element_from_display_vector. (setup_for_ellipsis): Add LEN argument. Callers changed. Set it->saved_face_id. (get_next_display_element): Use loop instead of recursion. Set it->saved_face_id. Combine duplicate code for ctr chars. (next_element_from_display_vector): Do not set it->saved_face_id. (next_element_from_ellipsis): Use setup_for_ellipsis.

we use a C preprocesor not only in the normal compilation of .c files
into object files, but also for creating

	src/Makefile
	lib-src/Makefile

(delimited by comment "start of cpp stuff").  some cpp implementations
insert whitespace in between tokens, which explains the "$(dot)$(dot)"
and "UNEXEC_ALIAS" workarounds for unixoid systems and the bundled
tradcpp/ for vms.  [NOTE: tradcpp/ not yet checked in.]

during makefile creation, the preprocessor symbol NOT_C_CODE is defined.
this should not be defined for normal .c file compilation.

there has been discussion on eliminating this use of cpp and relying
solely on autoconf processing.  rms says to leave it be.
