o Fix an English error (comma splice) and poorly worded sentence.
o Fix KNF ordering of variables (pointers come before arithmetic types).
o Restore hand-optimization of sizeof()-1, instead of strlen().
o Remove unneeded local variables in strerror_r().

strerror_r(). Doing this allows us to ensure that strerror_r() always
fills the supplied buffer regardless of EINVAL or ERANGE errors.
strerror()'s semantics have changed slightly such that an argument of
0 is now considered invalid and errno is set to EINVAL.
Remove internal regression test for strerror() and strerror_r(). This
will be reincarnated in src/tools/regression/lib/libc/string.
In strerror(3), add a comment about strerror()'s bogus return type.

more efficient. The problem with the previous implementation was that it
calculated the length of the first argument ("big") with wcslen() when
it was not necessary.
two major bugs:
- off-by-one overflow when the length of the source string exceeds or
equals the destination buffer size.
- old version was not padding the destination buffer with null wide chars
bcopy(3) functions are prototyped in <strings.h> and not in
<string.h> anymore.

In the C source files:
- Include <string.h> or <strings.h> depending on what function
is to be compiled.
- Use ANSI-C function definitions.

and
while (--a >= 0)

The prototypes have been moved there from <string.h> because
POSIX.1-2001 said so.
- Conditionally include either <strings.h> or <string.h> based
on whether the [r]index() or str[r]chr() functions are

- Style(9) tells us to
- put a space after the return keyword
- to check for a NUL character without using the ! operator.
- use NULL instead of (type *)NULL where the compiler knows
the type.
Apply these rules.
- Rather use ANSI-C function definitions than K&R ones.
- For index(3), correct second function argument's type; it was
