The `nonnull' attribute specifies that some function parameters should be
non-null pointers. This is very useful as it helps the compiler generate
warnings on suspicious code and can also enable some small optimizations.
Also start using 'alloc_size' attribute in the allocator functions.
This is an initial step to better integrate our libc with the compiler:
these attributes are fully supported by clang and they are also useful
for the static analyzer.
Note that due to some bogus internal procedure in the way gcc ports
are built they may require updating if they were built before r280801.

The code being imported by this commit diverged from

The C11 folks reinvented the wheel by introducing an aligned version of
malloc(3) called aligned_alloc(3), instead of posix_memalign(3). Instead
of returning the allocation by reference, it returns the address, just
like malloc(3).

The __noreturn macro, unlike __dead2, must be used BEFORE the function.
This is in line with the C and C++ specifications that place _Noreturn (c1x)
and [[noreturn]] (C++11) in front of the functions. As with __dead2, this
macro falls back to using the GCC attribute.
Unfortunately, clang currently sets the same value for the C version macro
in C99 and C1x modes, so these functions are hidden by default. At some
point before 10.0, I need to go through the headers and clean up the C1x /
C++11 visibility.

A more elegant way of obtaining a name of a character device by its file
descriptor on FreeBSD, is to use the FIODGNAME ioctl. Because a valid
file descriptor implies a file descriptor is visible in /dev, it will
always resolve a valid device name.
I'm adding a more friendly wrapper for this ioctl, called fdevname(). It
is a lot easier to use than devname() and also has better error
handling. When a device name cannot be resolved, it will just return
NULL instead of a generated device name that makes no sense.

that the annotated function returns a pointer that doesn't alias any
extant pointer. This results in a 50%+ speedup in microbenchmarks such
as the following:
char *cp = malloc(1), *buf = malloc(BUF);
for (i = 0; i < BUF; i++) buf[i] = *cp;
In real programs, your mileage will vary. Note that gcc already
performs this optimization automatically for any function called
`malloc', `calloc', `strdup', or `strndup' unless -fno-builtins is
used.

Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
- unsetenv returns an int.
- putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
- putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
- errno is set appropriately for POSIX. Exceptions involve bad environ
variable and internal initialization code. These both set errno to
EFAULT.

an int constant to a long constant. This change improves consistency
in the following two ways:
1. The first 8 arguments are always passed in registers on ia64, which
by virtue of the generated code implicitly widens ints to longs and
allows the use of an 32-bit integral type for 64-bit arguments.
Subsequent arguments are passed onto the memory stack, which does
not exhibit the same behaviour and consequently do not allow this.
In practice this means that variadic functions taking pointers
and given NULL (without cast) work as long as the NULL is passed
in one of the first 8 arguments. A SIGSEGV is more likely the
result if such would be done for stack-based arguments. This is
due to the fact that the upper 4 bytes remain undefined.
2. All 64-bit platforms that FreeBSD supports, with the obvious
exception of ia64, allow 32-bit integral types (specifically NULL)
when 64-bit pointers are expected in variadic functions by way of
how the compiler generates code. As such, code that works correctly
(whether rightfully so or not) on any platform other than ia64, may
fail on ia64.
To more easily allow tweaking of the definition of NULL, this commit
removes the 12 definitions in the various headers and puts it in a
