Implement a small enhancement to the original qsort implementation:
If the data is 32 bit aligned we can side-step the long type
version and use int instead.
The change brings a modest but significant improvement in
32 bit workloads.

Commit r279154 changed the API and ABI significantly, and {NZERO} is still
wrong.
Also, preserve errno on success instead of setting it to 0.

On FreeBSD socklen_t is unsigned so the check negative len
in inet6_opt_append() is redundant and likely to be optimized
away by the compiler.
On other operating systems this is not necessarily so, and
in the future we may want to sign it so leave the check in
but place it in a secondary position as a subtle indication
that the bogus check is intentional.

rlim_t is at least as large as long, so we don't need the
extra variable to keep the intermediate step. We don't
need the volatile either.

As a followup to r278363, there is one more case where
stayopen can be accessed uninitialized, but even after
swapping arguments, access is possible in some other
cases so prevent it completely by initializing stayopen.

The existing implementation had a broken comparison that could
overflow and return confusing values. Replace this with a check
that avoids the overflow before it happens.
Consistently return a maximum value also on the case of negative
arguments since negative is considered an overflow and means
infinity for our current setrlimit().
New revamped version is credited to Bruce Evans.

from r202992. The refcount on the cache entry is not initialized, so
any attempt to clean the cache will skip over this item since it likely
has a >0 value.
This change is currently a NOP. There is work in progress to support
freeing the cache which requires this change to avoid a memory leak.

In a couple of cases a variable "stayopen" can be checked
unitialized. This is of no danger as the complementary
condition is false but prevent the access by switching
the checks.

This was a local addition to the original change from NetBSD.
Being this libc there is some chance for it to interfere with
user's cget*() functions usage. The memory leak was finely
plugged by r278300.

Some users build FreeBSD as non-root in Perforce workspaces. By default,
Perforce sets files read-only unless they're explicitly being edited.
As a result, the -f argument must be used to cp in order to override the
read-only flag when copying source files to object directories. Bare use of
'cp' should be avoided in the future.
Update all current users of 'cp' in the src tree.
