Through testing, the user noted that some Cyrillic characters were not
sorting correctly, and this was confirmed.
After extensive testing and review, the localedef tool was eliminated
as the culprit. The sustitutions were encoded correctly in LC_COLLATE.
The error was mainly in wcscoll where character expansions were
mishandled. The main directive pass routines had to be written to
go back for a new collation value when the "state" variable was set.
Before pointers were being advanced, the second lookup was gettting
applied to the wrong character, etc.
The "eat expansion codes" section on collate.c also had a bug. Later
own, the "state" variable logic was changed to only set if next
code was greater than zero (rather than >= 0).
Some additional cleanups got captured from previous work:
1) The previous commit moved the binary search comment from the
correct location to a wrong location because it's wrong upstream
in Illumos. The comment has little value so I just removed it.
2) Don't check if pointers are null before freeing, this is
redundant as free() handles null pointers.
3) The two binary search trees were standardized wrt initialization
4) On the binary search trees, a negative "high" exits rather than
checking the table count again.

load of _l suffixed versions of various standard library functions that use
the global locale, making them take an explicit locale parameter. Also
adds support for per-thread locales. This work was funded by the FreeBSD
Foundation.
Please test any code you have that uses the C standard locale functions!
