In libc_r, if _FDLOCKS_ENABLED is not defined, there is no guarantee
in many of the sycall wrappers that _thread_fd_table[fd] is
initialized. This causes problems for programs that pass in file
descriptors and execve() another program; when the exec'ed program
tries to do an fcntl() or other syscall on the passed-in fd, it fails.
Add calls to initialize the FD table entry for _thread_fd_lock and
_thread_fd_lock_debug.

describing these operators in English. This completes the fix in rev.1.3
(rev.1.2 got this wrong by describing wrong operators in English).
Fixed bitrot and improved English in the DESCRIPTION section.

I've running with this patch for two week with no ill side effects.

1) Allow the sending of more than one control message at a time
over a unix domain socket. This should cover the PR 29499.
2) This requires that unp_{ex,in}ternalize and unp_scan understand
mbufs with more than one control message at a time.
3) Internalize and externalize used to work on the mbuf in-place.
This made life quite complicated and the code for sizeof(int) <
sizeof(file *) could end up doing the wrong thing. The patch always
create a new mbuf/cluster now. This resulted in the change of the
prototype for the domain externalise function.
4) You can now send SCM_TIMESTAMP messages.
5) Always use CMSG_DATA(cm) to determine the start where the data
in unp_{ex,in}ternalize. It was using ((struct cmsghdr *)cm + 1)
in some places, which gives the wrong alignment on the alpha.
(NetBSD made this fix some time ago).
This results in an ABI change for discriptor passing and creds
passing on the alpha. (Probably on the IA64 and Spare ports too).
6) Fix userland programs to use CMSG_* macros too.
7) Be more careful about freeing mbufs containing (file *)s.
This is made possible by the prototype change of externalise.
