As a side effect, it makes the code easier to read and requires less
pointer arithmetic.

o Fix an English error (comma splice) and poorly worded sentence.
o Fix KNF ordering of variables (pointers come before arithmetic types).
o Restore hand-optimization of sizeof()-1, instead of strlen().
o Remove unneeded local variables in strerror_r().

strerror_r(). Doing this allows us to ensure that strerror_r() always
fills the supplied buffer regardless of EINVAL or ERANGE errors.
strerror()'s semantics have changed slightly such that an argument of
0 is now considered invalid and errno is set to EINVAL.
Remove internal regression test for strerror() and strerror_r(). This
will be reincarnated in src/tools/regression/lib/libc/string.
In strerror(3), add a comment about strerror()'s bogus return type.

calculated the length of the first argument ("big") with wcslen() when
it was not necessary.
two major bugs:
- off-by-one overflow when the length of the source string exceeds or
equals the destination buffer size.
- old version was not padding the destination buffer with null wide chars

is to be compiled.
- Use ANSI-C function definitions.
