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.

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 _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 localdef(1) changes are breaking world:

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.
