The _Noreturn attribute was added to placate Coverity and other static
analysis tools. The __printflike attribute was added to catch issues
with the calls related to printf(3) abuse.
- Modify the code to facilitate the __printflike attribute addition.
- Convert errf calls in to_mb(..) and to_mb_string(..) to warn(..) so
the calls will return instead of exiting, as the code suggests it
should.

The output of "locale charmap" is identical to the result of
nl_langinfo (CODESET) for any given locale. The logic for returning the
codeset was very simplistic. It just returned portion of the locale name
after the period (e.g. en_FR.ISO8859-1 returned "ISO8859-1").
When softlinks were added to locales, this broke. e.g.:
en_US returned ""
en_FR.UTF8 returned "UTF8"
en_FR.UTF-8 returned "UTF-8"
zh_Hant_HK.Big5HKSCS returned "Big5HKSCS"
zh_Hant_TW.Big5 returned "Big5"
es_ES@euro returned ""
In order to fix this properly, the named locale cannot be used to
determine the encoding. This information was almost available in the
rune data. Unfortunately, all the single byte encodings were listed
as "NONE" encoding.
So I adjusted localedef tool to provide more information about the
encoding. For example, instead of "NONE", the LC_CTYPE used by
fr_FR.ISO8859-15 is now encoded as "NONE:ISO8859-15". The locale
handlers now check if the first four characters of the encoding is
"NONE" and if so, treats it as a single-byte encoding.
The nl_langinfo handling of CODESET was adjusting accordingly. Now the
following is returned:
en_US returns "ISO8859-1"
fr_FR.UTF8 returns "UTF-8"
fr_FR.UTF-8 returns "UTF-8"
zh_Hant_HK.Big5HKSCS returns "Big5"
zh_Hant_TW.Big5 returns "Big5"
es_ES@euro returns "ISO8859-15"
as before, "C" and "POSIX" locales return "US-ASCII". This is a big
improvement. The result of nl_langinfo can never be a zero-length
string and it will always exclusively one of the values of the
character maps of /usr/src/tools/tools/locale/etc/final-maps.

The localedef tool can read entire (and unmodified) CLDR posix definition
files, and generate all 6 LC categories: LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE, LC_TIME,
LC_NUMERIC, LC_MONETARY and LC_MESSAGES.
This tool has a long history with Solaris. The Nexenta developers
modified it to read CLDR files and created the much richer collation
formats. The libc collation functions have to be modified to read the
new format (called "BSD-1.0") and to handle the new data structures.
The result will be that locale-sensitive tools and functions will now
properly sort multibyte and unicode strings.
