The common localization functions between strptime(3) and strftime(3)

Use 'beforedepend' instead of '.depend' to hang automatically-generated
headers off.
XXX the latter is bogus without a 'beforeall' target and explicit ordering

we were only eating them if the application did not call sleep()/usleep()

and forgot what I was trying to do originally and accidently zapped
a feature. :-] The problem is that we are converting a counted buffer in
a malloc pool into a null terminated C-style string. I was calling realloc
originally to shrink the buffer to the desired size. If realloc failed, we
still returned the valid buffer - the only thing wrong was it was a tad
too large. The previous commit disabled this.
This commit now handles the three cases..
1: the buffer is exactly right for the null byte to terminate the
string (we don't call realloc).
2: it's got h.left = 0, so we must expand it to make room. If realloc
fails here, it's fatal.
3: if there's too much room, we realloc to shrink it - a failed realloc
is not fatal, we use the original buffer which is still valid.

Only call malloc() if the fd is too big for the compiled in fd_set size,
and don't use calloc either. This should reduce the impact of conflicts
with private malloc implementations etc. When using the fd_set on the
stack, only zero what is needed rather than all 1024 bits like FD_ZERO did.

The logic in get_myaddress() is broken: it always returns the loopback
address due to the following rule:
if ((ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_UP) &&
ifr->ifr_addr.sa_family == AF_INET &&
(loopback == 1 && (ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))) {
The idea is that we want to select the interface address only if it's
up and it's in the AF_INET family. If it turns uout we don't have
such an interface available, we make a second pass through the loop,
this time settling for the loopback interface. But the logic inadvertently
locks out all cases when loopback == 0, so nothing is ever selected until
the second pass (when loopback == 1).
This is changed to:
if (((ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_UP) &&
ifr->ifr_addr.sa_family == AF_INET) ||
(loopback == 1 && (ifreq.ifr_flags & IFF_LOOPBACK))) {
which I think does the right thing.
This is yet another bogon I discovered during NIS+ testing; I need
get_myaddress() to work correctly so that the callback code in the
client library will work.

arc4random() is true random as designed, so its usage is library-safe.

Change return type from int to void (binary compatibility surprisely

The addition of the nanosleep syscall was correctly added to
libc/sys/Makefile so that it is renamed as _thread_sys_nanosleep().
This syscall is one of those that libc_r has to re-implement because
the only behaviour is to block the process. So libc_r just ignores the
fact that a nanosleep syscall exists and goes its own way - as it has
done all along .... and now it does again. And now a simple program
can sleep again. Phew.
Malloc cannot use pthread_mutex_init() to initialize a mutex because
the mutex initialization process does a malloc!
libc_r internals skip the malloc and assign an initializer to a static
structure and point the opaque type (pthread_mutex_t in this case) to
that structure. This is done on the assumption that the mutex will never
be destroyed. This style of initialization is only valid inside libc_r
because the structure that is assigned is opaque to the user.
This fix allows a simple program to get to main() again. 8-)
semantics of the old sleep for compatability with a few decades of expected
side effects. Apache breaks if we just use nanosleep() for some reason,
here we use a new signanosleep() syscall which is kinda like a hybrid of
sigsuspend and nanosleep..

These changes add the ability to specify that a UFS file/directory
cannot be unlinked. This is basically a scaled back version
of the IMMUTABLE flag. The reason is to allow an administrator
to create a directory hierarchy that a group of users
can arbitrarily add/delete files from, but that the hierarchy
itself is safe from removal by them.
If the NOUNLINK definition is set to 0
then this results in no change to what happens normally.
(and results in identical binary (in the kernel)).
It can be proven that if this bit is never set by the admin,
no new behaviour is introduced..
Several "good idea" comments from reviewers plus one grumble
about creeping featurism.
This code is in production in 2.2 based systems
-DUSE_NANOSLEEP. Also, seperate the code for _THREAD_SAFE so that it uses
the simpler threaded nanosleep() call in libc_r.. We don't go to the same
extremes for emulating traditional sleep semantics (ie: eating any SIGALRM
that might happen) which things like apache seem to depend on.
