a) Use strcoll() in opendir() and alphasort() as POSIX 2008 requires.
It also matches now how our 'ls' works for years.

b) Remove comment expressed 2 fears:
1) One just simple describe how strcoll() works in _any_ context,
not for directories only. Are we plan to remove strcoll() from everything
just because it is little more complex than strcmp()? I doubt, and
directories give nothing different here. Moreover, strcoll() used
in 'ls' for years and nobody complaints yet.

2) Plain wrong statement about undefined strcoll() behaviour. strcoll()
always gives predictable results, falling back to strcmp() on any
trouble, see strcoll(3).

No objections from -current list discussion.

Do not rely on behaviour undefined by ANSI C, use thunks to adapt
alphasort-like interface to the comparision function required by
qsort() and qsort_r().

For opendir() thunk and alphasort(), comment on why we deviated from
POSIX by using strcmp() instead of strcoll().

Modernize scandir(3) and alphasort(3) interfaces according to the IEEE
Std 1003.1-2008. Both Linux and Solaris conforms to the new definitions,
so we better follow too (older glibc used old BSDish alphasort prototype
and corresponding type of the comparision function for scandir). While
there, change the definitions of the functions to ANSI C and fix several
style issues nearby.

Remove requirement for "sys/types.h" include for functions from manpage.

POSIX also requires that alphasort(3) sorts as if strcoll(3) was used,
but leave the strcmp(3) call in the function for now.

Adapt in-tree callers of scandir(3) to new declaration. The fact that
select_sections() from catman(1) could modify supplied struct dirent is
a bug.

scandir(3) previously used st_size to obtain an initial estimate
of the array length needed to store all the directory entries.
Although BSD has historically guaranteed that st_size is the size
of the directory file, POSIX does not, and more to the point, some
recent filesystems such as ZFS use st_size to mean something else.

The fix is to not stat the directory at all, set the initial
array size to 32 entries, and realloc it in powers of 2 if that
proves insufficient.

# If I've done so improperly on a file, please let me know.

* Remove __P and convert to ANSI prototypes.
* Remove 'register'. (some functions had 7+ register functions...)
* Fix SCM ID's.

Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

Fix a memory leak
PR: 7923
Submitted by: Archie Cobbs <archie@whistle.com>

The scandir() function returns -1 if it fails.
In many cases when this happens, it does not free
the memory that it allocated, resulting in a memory
leak, or close the directory opened with opendir().
BAD DOG, BAD!

Replace memory leaking instances of realloc with non-leaking reallocf.
In some cases replace if (a == null) a = malloc(x); else a =
realloc(a, x); with simple reallocf(a, x). Per ANSI-C, this is
guaranteed to be the same thing.

I've been running these on my system here w/o ill effects for some
time. However, the CTM-express is at part 6 of 34 for the CAM
changes, so I've not been able to do a build world with the CAM in the
tree with these changes. Shouldn't impact anything, but...

Remove trailing whitespace.

scandir(3) didn't transfer d_type, and d_ino is called d_fileno now.
