We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

The symbols were moved using scripts/move-symbol-to-libc.py.
Placeholder symbols are needed on some architectures, to keep the
GLIBC_2.1 and GLIBC_2.4 symbol versions around.

Move the common code into rt/lio_listio-common.c and include
the file in both rt/lio_listio.c and rt/lio_listio64.c. The common
code automatically defines both public symbols for __WORDSIZE == 64.
