Garrett Wollman fda2301943 Since POSIX gives us plenary authority to define _t types, change
__dlfunc_t to dlfunc_t to match what I have proposed to the Austin
Group.  (This also makes it easier for applications to store these
values before they decide what to do with them, e.g., in a wrapper
function.)

* Implement the dlfunc() interface, which behaves exactly the same as
* dlsym() except that it returns a function pointer instead of a data
* pointer. This can be used by applications to avoid compiler warnings
* about undefined behavior, and is intended as prior art for future
* POSIX standardization. This function requires that all pointer types
* have the same representation, which is true on all platforms FreeBSD
* runs on, but is not guaranteed by the C standard.
