dhclient and ping normally use libcasper services. These are not
available in statically-linked binaries, so when WITHOUT_DYNAMICROOT is
set disable libcasper use, as with rescue builds. Also emit a warning
as it's undesirable to build this way.

- add static in a number of places
- initialize __progname rather than rely on magical extern values
- use nitems() instead of manually spelling it out
- unshadow 'idi'
- teach 'error' that it is '__dead2'
- add missing 'break'
Mostly const-correctness fixes. There were also some variable-shadowing,
unused variable, and a couple of sockaddr type-correctness changes. I also had
trouble with cast-align warnings. I was able to prove that one of them was a
false positive. But ultimately I had to disable the warning program-wide to
deal with the others.

dhclient(8) is failing during boot to connect to the syslog service, because
syslog daemon is started after dhclient(8). This can be reproduced by stooping
syslog daemon and ktrace the dhclient or use kern.trap_enotcap sysctl and boot
the machine. Using the Casper syslog service fix the problem.

src/contrib/isc-dhcp/includes/minires/resolv.h has a 'extern' definition
but it makes an error when linking crunched binary just like this:
dhclient.lo: In function `MRres_nquery':
dhclient.lo(.text+0x2dcce): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'
dhclient.lo(.text+0x2dd5b): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'
dhclient.lo: In function `MRres_nquerydomain':
dhclient.lo(.text+0x2de53): undefined reference to `__h_errno_set'
The author understands this will be a problem (see comments in resolv.h).
Murray said that the author will fix this, but as a temporary solution,
modifying the source code and not to use __h_errno_set.
BTW, I'm sorry that previous commitlog in src/sbin/dhclient/Makefile should
read "Found by:" instead of "Confirmed by"; I just found that rev 1.15
has a typo so fixed.
Tested on: ushi.jp.FreeBSD.org with today's 5-current source code.
(belive me, "make release.4" works fine now)
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

Of course this is a bug in that the dhclient script will not work properly
if one has a local / and an NFS mounted /usr and needs to obtain its IP
address via DHCP before being able to mount /usr.
