Formerly, in this case an error was returned but the pid was also returned
to the application, requiring the application to use unspecified behaviour
(the returned pid in error situations) to avoid zombies.
Now, reap the zombie and do not return the pid.

Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE.
Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and
doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other
implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to
work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some
applications depend on it.

* retry various system calls on EINTR
* retry the rest after a short read (common if there is more than about 1K
of output)
* block SIGCHLD like system(3) does (note that this does not and cannot
work fully in threaded programs, they will need to be careful with wait
functions)

because it means getdelim() returns -1 for both error and EOF, and
never returns 0. However, this is what the original GNU implementation
does, and POSIX inherited the bug.

The function pow() in libmp(3) clashes with pow(3) in libm. We could
rename this single function, but we can just take the same approach as
the Solaris folks did, which is to prefix all function names with mp_.
libmp(3) isn't really popular nowadays. I suspect not a single
application in ports depends on it. There's still a chance, so I've
increased the SHLIB_MAJOR and __FreeBSD_version.

it relies on non-portable flock(2) semantics. Not only is flock(2) not
portable, but on some OSes that do have it, it is implemented in terms
of fcntl(2) locks, which are per-process rather than per-descriptor.
I wrote these to test amd64 asm functions that used
maxss, maxsd, minss, and minsd, but it turns out that
those instructions don't handle NaNs and signed zero
in the same way as fmin() and fmax() are required to,
so we're stuck with the C versions for now.
The first test comes from OpenBSD, and the others are additions or
adaptations.
This is based on OpenBSD's
src/regress/lib/libc/sprintf/sprintf_test.c, v1.3.
I deliberately did not use v1.4 because it's bogus.
after similar calls related to struct pwd in libutil/pw_util.c:
- gr_equal()
Perform a deep comparison of two struct grp's. It does a thorough, yet
unoptimized comparison of all the members regardless of order.
- gr_make()
Create a string (see group(5)) from a struct grp.
- gr_dup()
Duplicate a struct grp. Returns a value that is a single contiguous
block of memory.
- gr_scan()
Create a struct grp from a string (as produced by gr_make()).
