Provide a way to ask for an opaque version string for a locale_t, so
that potential changes in sort order can be detected. Similar to
ICU's ucol_getVersion() and Windows' GetNLSVersionEx(), this API is
intended to allow databases to detect when text order-based indexes
might need to be rebuilt.
The CLDR version is extracted from CLDR source data by the Makefile
under tools/tools/locale, written into the machine-generated Makefile
under shared/colldef, passed to localedef -V, and then written into
LC_COLLATE file headers. The initial version is 34.0.
tools/tools/locale was recently updated to pull down 35.0, but the
output hasn't been committed under share/colldef yet, so that will
provide the first observable change when it happens. Other versioning
schemes are possible in future, because the format is unspecified.

The current localedef simply assumes that the locale headers on build system
are compatible with those on the target system which is not necessarily true.
It generally works on FreeBSD (as long as we don't change the locale headers),
but Linux and macOS provide completely different locale headers.
This change adds new bootstrap headers that namespace certain xlocale
structures defined or used by in the headers that localdef needs.
This is required since system headers *must* be able to include the "real"
locale headers for printf(), etc., but we also want to access the target
systems's internal locale structures.

I hit those error messages when using a localedef built against headers
that don't match the target system (cross-building from a Linux host).
This problem will be fixed in the next commit.
it appropriately when building share/ctypedef and share/colldef.
This makes the resulting locale data in EL->EB (amd64->powerpc64) cross
build and in the native EB build match. Revert the changes done to libc
in r308170 as they are no longer needed.

The localdef(1) changes are breaking world:
00:18:40.750 /usr/src/share/colldef/af_ZA.UTF-8.src: 2421: error: Bad file
descriptor
I will fix them offline.

The first argument of calloc(3) should be an ordinal type, and the
second a size: split a multiplication to make better use of calloc(3)
and detect overflows.
Do some other re-ordering and style fixes while here.

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.
