In rS323851, some casts were adjusted in calls to nvlist_next() and
nvlist_get_pararr() in order to make scan-build happy. I think these changes
just confused scan-build into not reporting the strict-aliasing violation.
For example, nvlist_xdescriptors() is causing nvlist_next() to write to its
local variable nvp of type nvpair_t * using the lvalue *cookiep of type
void *, which is not allowed. Given the APIs of nvlist_next(),
nvlist_get_parent() and nvlist_get_pararr(), one possible fix is to create a
local void *cookie in nvlist_xdescriptors() and other places, and to convert
the value to nvpair_t * when necessary. This patch implements that fix.

initialize nvp on every loop iteration and the code under 'fail'(!) label
detects success by checking of nvp != NULL.

to 'fail' on error it was treated as success, because nvp!=NULL. Fix this
by not handling success under 'fail' label and by using separate variable
for parent nvpair.
If we succeeded to allocate nvlist, but failed to allocated nvpair we
would leak nvls[ii] on return. Destroy it when we cannot allocate nvpair,
before we goto fail.

initially NULL, which is not possible. Change the loop to
'do {} while (array != NULL)' to satisfy scan-build and assert that
array really cannot be NULL just in case.

cnv API is a set of functions for managing name/value pairs by cookie.
The cookie can be obtained by nvlist_next(), nvlist_get_parent() or
nvlist_get_pararr() function. This patch also includes unit tests.

When we change nvl_array_next to NULL it means that we want to destroy or
take nvlist_array. The nvpair, which stores next nvlist of nvlist_array element
is no longer needed and can be freed.

- Add
nvlist_{add,get,take,move,exists,free}_{number,bool,string,nvlist,
descriptor} functions.
- Add support for (un)packing arrays.
- Add the nvl_array_next field to the nvlist structure.
If an array is added by the nvlist_{move,add}_nvlist_array function
this field will contains next element in the array.
- Add the nitems field to the nvpair and nvpair_header structure.
This field contains number of elements in the array.
- Add special flag (NV_FLAG_IN_ARRAY) which is set if nvlist is a part of
an array.
- Add special type (NV_TYPE_NVLIST_ARRAY_NEXT).This type is used only
on packing/unpacking.
- Add new API for traversing arrays (nvlist_get_array_next).
- Add the nvlist_get_pararr function which combines the
nvlist_get_array_next and nvlist_get_parent functions. If nvlist is in
the array it will return next element from array. If nvlist is last
element in array or it isn't in array it will return his
container (parent). This function should simplify traveling over nvlist.
- Add tests for new features.
- Add documentation for new functions.
- Add my copyright.
- Regenerate the sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris/sys/nvpair.h file.

- the nvlist error is set, or
- the nvlist case ignore flag is not set and there is attend to
add element with duplicated name.
In both cases the nvlist_move_nvpair() function free nvpair structure.
If library will try to unpack a binary blob which contains duplicated
names it will end up with using memory after free.
To prevent that, the nvlist_move_nvpair() function interface is changed
to report about failure and checks are added to the nvpair_xunpack()
function.

The goal of this operation is to NOT install header files which shouldn't
be used outside the nvlist library.
