Introduce dirfd() libc exported symbol replacing macro with same name,
preserve _dirfd() macro for internal use.
Replace dirp->dd_fd with dirfd() call. Avoid using dirfd as variable
name to prevent shadowing global symbol.

Std 1003.1-2008. Both Linux and Solaris conforms to the new definitions,
so we better follow too (older glibc used old BSDish alphasort prototype
and corresponding type of the comparision function for scandir). While
there, change the definitions of the functions to ANSI C and fix several
style issues nearby.
Remove requirement for "sys/types.h" include for functions from manpage.
POSIX also requires that alphasort(3) sorts as if strcoll(3) was used,
but leave the strcmp(3) call in the function for now.
Adapt in-tree callers of scandir(3) to new declaration. The fact that
select_sections() from catman(1) could modify supplied struct dirent is
a bug.

deals with the usual __opendir2() calls, and the rest part with an interface
translator to expose fdopendir(3) functionality. Manual page was obtained from
kib@'s work for *at(2) system calls.
an int constant to a long constant. This change improves consistency
in the following two ways:
1. The first 8 arguments are always passed in registers on ia64, which
by virtue of the generated code implicitly widens ints to longs and
allows the use of an 32-bit integral type for 64-bit arguments.
Subsequent arguments are passed onto the memory stack, which does
not exhibit the same behaviour and consequently do not allow this.
In practice this means that variadic functions taking pointers
and given NULL (without cast) work as long as the NULL is passed
in one of the first 8 arguments. A SIGSEGV is more likely the
result if such would be done for stack-based arguments. This is
due to the fact that the upper 4 bytes remain undefined.
2. All 64-bit platforms that FreeBSD supports, with the obvious
exception of ia64, allow 32-bit integral types (specifically NULL)
when 64-bit pointers are expected in variadic functions by way of
how the compiler generates code. As such, code that works correctly
(whether rightfully so or not) on any platform other than ia64, may
fail on ia64.
To more easily allow tweaking of the definition of NULL, this commit
removes the 12 definitions in the various headers and puts it in a
new header that can be included whenever NULL is to be made visible.
This commit fixes GNOME, emacs, xemacs and a whole bunch of ports

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
readdir_r is not POSIX according to POSIX_SOURCE, bruce says:

make sure errno is saved so that its contents are cleared unless
necessary.

the cancelability code is still a bit fuzzy but works for test
programs of my own, OpenBSD's and some examples from ORA's books.
add readdir_r to both libc and libc_r
add some 'const' attributes to function parameters
