Security: Integer overflow; calloc was allocating 1 byte in
response to a request for a multiple of 2^32 (or 2^64)
bytes instead of returning NULL.
The symptom is that syslog() fails to log anything but the "ident"
string if LOG_PERROR is specified to openlog(3) and the extensible
printf is in action.
For unclear, likely quaint historical reasons, syslog uses fwopen()
on a stack buffer, rather than using the more straightforward
and faster snprintf().
Along the way, fflush(3) is called, and since the callback writer
function returns zero instead of the length "written", __SERR
naturally gets set on the filedescriptor.
The extensible printf, in difference from the normal printf refuses
to output anything to an __SERR marked filedescriptor, and thus
the actual syslog message is supressed.

integer. Presently, our implementation employs an approach that
converts the value to int64_t, then back to int, unfortunately,
this approach can be problematic when the the difference between
the two time_low is larger than 0x7fffffff, as the value is then
truncated to int.
To quote the test case from the original PR, the following is
true with the current implementation:
865e1a56-b9d9-11d9-ba27-0003476f2e88 < 062ac45c-b9d9-11d9-ba27-0003476f2e88
However, according to the DCE specification, the expected result
should be:
865e1a56-b9d9-11d9-ba27-0003476f2e88 > 062ac45c-b9d9-11d9-ba27-0003476f2e88
This commit adds a new intermediate variable which uses int64_t
to store the result of subtraction between the two time_low values,
which would not introduce different semantic of the MSB found in
time_low value.

- Remove the __fpu_* entries as well as the __sigtramp entry altogether as
these are internal to the libc FPU emulation and the signal trampoline

Since, res_sendsigned(3) and the friends use MD5 functions, it is
hard to include them without having MD5 functions in libc. So,
res_sendsigned(3) is not merged into libc.
Since, res_update(3) in BIND9 is not binary compatible with our
res_update(3), res_update(3) is leaved as is, except some
necessary modifications.
The res_update(3) and the friends are not essential part of the
resolver. They are not defined in resolv.h but defined in
res_update.h separately in BIND9. Further, they are not called from
our tree. So, I hide them from our resolv.h, but leave them only
for binary backward compatibility (perhaps, no one calls them).
Since, struct __res_state_ext is not exposed in BIND9, I hide it
from our resolv.h. And, global variable _res_ext is removed. It
breaks binary backward compatibility. But, since it is not used from
outside of our libc, I think it is safe.

Re-work arena_frag_reg_alloc() so that when large free regions are
