- Address performance regressions encountered by das@ by caching per-thread
data in TLS where available.
- Add a __NO_TLS flag to cdefs.h to indicate where not available.
- Reorganise the xlocale.h definitions into xlocale/*.h so that they can be
included from multiple places.
- Export the POSIX2008 subset of xlocale when POSIX2008 says it should be
exported, independently of whether xlocale.h is included.
- Fix the bug where programs using ctype functions always assumed ASCII unless
recompiled.
- Fix some style(9) violations.

The reasoning behind this, is that if we are consistent in our
documentation about the uint*_t stuff, people will be less tempted to
write new code that uses the non-standard types.
I am not going to bump the man page dates, as these changes can be
considered style nits. The meaning of the man pages is unaffected.

At first, I added a utility called utxrm(8) to remove stale entries from
the user accounting database. It seems there are cases in which we need
to perform different operations on the database as well. Simply rename
utxrm(8) to utx(8) and place the old code under the "rm" command.
In addition to "rm", this tool supports "boot" and "shutdown", which are
going to be used by an rc-script which I am going to commit separately.
If the utmpx database gets updated while an application is reading it,
there is a chance the reading application processes partially
overwritten entries. To solve this, make sure we always read a multiple
of sizeof(struct futx) at a time.

The new implementation is supposed to be able to cope with changes to

the function bodies require only 2 to 10 instructions. However, it
leads to application binaries that refer to a private ABI, namely, the

best to have programs refer to the official fe* entry points in libm.

This allows people to still write statically linked applications that
call strchr() or strrchr() and have a local variable or function called
index.
Discussed with: bde@
The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
As I looked through the C library, I noticed the FreeBSD MIPS port has a
hand-written version of index(). This is nice, if it weren't for the
fact that most applications call strchr() instead.
Also, on the other architectures index() and strchr() are identical,
meaning we have two identical pieces of code in the C library and
statically linked applications.
Solve this by naming the actual file strchr.[cS] and let it use
__strong_reference()/STRONG_ALIAS() to provide the index() routine. Do
the same for rindex()/strrchr().
This seems to make the C libraries and static binaries slightly smaller,
but this reduction in size seems negligible.
