d915a14ef0 libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

46d9306383 = Implement name service switch modules (NSS modules). NSS modules
may be built into libc (`static NSS modules') or dynamically loaded
  via dlopen (`dynamic NSS modules').  Modules are loaded/initialized
  at configuration time (i.e.  when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf
  is read or re-read).

= Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe.

= New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to
  signal ERANGE-type issues.

= syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort.

= Try harder to avoid namespace pollution.

= Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for
  the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.
