libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Remove the const qualifier from iconv(3) to comply with POSIX:

# 7c5b2311 24-Nov-2013 Hiroki Sato <hrs@FreeBSD.org>

Add ICONV_{GET,SET}_ILSEQ_INVALID iconvctl. GNU iconv returns EILSEQ
when there is an invalid character in the output codeset while it is
valid in the input. However, POSIX requires iconv() to perform an
implementation-defined conversion on the character. So, Citrus iconv converts
such a character to a special character which means it is invalid in the
output codeset.

This is not a problem in most cases but some software like libxml2 depends
on GNU's behavior to determine if a character is output as-is or another form
such as a character entity (&#NNN;).


# b49c0d58 06-Sep-2013 David Chisnall <theraven@FreeBSD.org>

Fix the namespace pollution caused by iconv.h including stdbool.h
This broke any C89 ports that defined bool themselves, including things
like gcc, gtk, and so on.


# 19dfd82d 03-Jul-2013 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Replace the #define for "iconv" so it is for the function name instead of
a macro with parameters. Remove a __DECONST hack and add consts instead
for gnu libiconv API compatability. This makes it work with things like
devel/boost-libs that expects to use "iconv" as though it were a pointer.


# b94c7c3e 23-May-2013 Ed Schouten <ed@FreeBSD.org>

Let iconv build on -HEAD properly.

- Add NO_WMISSING_VARIABLE_DECLARATIONS where we use Yacc/Lex.
- Add variable declarations where possible.
- Add missing static keyword.


# ad30f8e7 24-Feb-2011 Gabor Kovesdan <gabor@FreeBSD.org>

Add the BSD-licensed Citrus iconv to the base system with default off
setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this
knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.

This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:

- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.
