2c75604e55 gai_strerror() - Update string error messages according to RFC 3493.
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.

872b698bd4 General further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
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,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
