e2f6816100 Reimplement dirname(3) to be thread-safe.
Now that we've updated the prototypes of the basename(3) and dirname(3)
functions to conform to POSIX, let's go ahead and reimplement dirname(3)
in such a way that it's thread-safe, but also guaranteed to succeed. C
libraries like glibc, musl and the one that's part of Solaris already
follow such an approach.

Move the existing implementation to another source file,
freebsd11_dirname.c to keep existing users of the API that pass in a
constant string happy, using symbol versioning.

Put a new version of the function in dirname.c, obtained from CloudABI's
C library. This version scans through the pathname string from left to
right, normalizing it, while discarding the last pathname component.
