Error messages in gai_strerror(3) vary largely among OSs.
For new software we largely replaced the obsoleted EAI_NONAME and
with EAI_NODATA but we never updated the corresponding message to better
match the intended use. We also have references to ai_flags and ai_family
which are not very descriptive for non-developer end users.
Bring new new error messages based on informational RFC 3493, which has
obsoleted RFC 2553, and make them consistent among the header adn
manpage.

and dependent functions (eg getpwname(3)) get called. This can
improve performance of binaries that perform a lot of name
lookups, such as gssd(8). It also matches documented behaviour
of Linux and Solaris.
The old code is left in place, should anyone need it, guarded
by #ifdef NS_REREAD_CONF.

libc was picked as the destination location for these because of the syscalls

While Arcnet has some continued deployment in industrial controls, the
lack of drivers for any of the PCI, USB, or PCIe NICs on the market
suggests such users aren't running FreeBSD.
Evidence in the PR database suggests that the cm(4) driver (our sole
Arcnet NIC) was broken in 5.0 and has not worked since.

document details of salen in getnameinfo(3) manual page.
getnameinfo(3) returned EAI_FAIL when salen was not equal to
the length corresponding to the value specified by sa->sa_family.
However, POSIX or RFC 3493 does not require it and RFC 4038
Sec.6.2.3 shows an example passing sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage)
to salen.
This change makes the requirement less strict by accepting
salen up to sizeof(struct sockaddr_storage). It also includes
two more changes: one is to fix return values because both SUSv4
and RFC 3493 require EAI_FAMILY when the address length is invalid,
another is to fix sa_len dependency in PF_LOCAL.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error

to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

patm(4) devices.
Maintaining an address family and framework has real costs when we make
infrastructure improvements. In the case of NATM we support no devices
manufactured in the last 20 years and some will not even work in modern
motherboards (some newer devices that patm(4) could be updated to
support apparently exist, but we do not currently have support).
With this change, support remains for some netgraph modules that don't
require NATM support code. It is unclear if all these should remain,
though ng_atmllc certainly stands alone.
Note well: FreeBSD 11 supports NATM and will continue to do so until at
least September 30, 2021. Improvements to the code in FreeBSD 11 are
certainly welcome.

remain in the order supplied by the DNS server. The present code attempts
to deal with this by returning -1 for objects that are equal (i.e.,
returns that the first parameter is less then the second parameter).
Unfortunately, the qsort API does not state that the first parameter
passed in is in any particular position in the list.

POSIX also declares NI_NUMERICSCOPE, which makes getnameinfo() return a
numerical scope identifier. The interesting thing is that support for

While there, remove references to NI_WITHSCOPEID, as that got removed 11

> normally, include <sys/types.h> OR <sys/param.h>, but not both.
(<sys/param.h> already includes <sys/types.h> when LOCORE is not defined).
We have an nitems() macro in the <sys/param.h> header that is
convenient to re-use as it makes things easier to read.
Given that it is available already without adding additional
headers and other parts of libc already use it, extend a bit
more its use.
While here also cleanup some surrounding code; particularly
drop some malloc() casts.
