Tell the compiler that xmalloc family of allocators always return
non-NULL. xrealloc in locale/programs also always returns non-NULL,
but that conflicts with default realloc behaviour and that of xrealloc
in libsupport, so keep it as is for now and resolve the differences
later.

To help detect common kinds of memory (and other resource) management
bugs, GCC 11 adds support for the detection of mismatched calls to
allocation and deallocation functions. At each call site to a known
deallocation function GCC checks the set of allocation functions
the former can be paired with and, if the two don't match, issues
a -Wmismatched-dealloc warning (something similar happens in C++
for mismatched calls to new and delete). GCC also uses the same
mechanism to detect attempts to deallocate objects not allocated
by any allocation function (or pointers past the first byte into
allocated objects) by -Wfree-nonheap-object.
This support is enabled for built-in functions like malloc and free.
To extend it beyond those, GCC extends attribute malloc to designate
a deallocation function to which pointers returned from the allocation
function may be passed to deallocate the allocated objects. Another,
optional argument designates the positional argument to which
the pointer must be passed.
This change is the first step in enabling this extended support for
Glibc.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
During testing of localedef running in a minimal container
there were several error cases which were hard to diagnose
since they appeared as strerror (errno) values printed by the
higher level functions. This change adds three new verbose
messages for potential failure paths. The new messages give
the user the opportunity to use -v and display additional
information about why localedef might be failing. I found
these messages useful myself while writing a localedef
container test for --no-hard-links.
Since the changes cleanup the code that handle codeset
normalization we add tst-localedef-path-norm which contains
many sub-tests to verify the correct expected normalization of
codeset strings both when installing to default paths (the
only time normalization is enabled) and installing to absolute
paths. During the refactoring I created at least one
buffer-overflow which valgrind caught, but these tests did not
catch because the exec in the container had a very clean heap
with zero-initialized memory. However, between valgrind and
the tests the results are clean.
The new tst-localedef-path-norm passes without regression on
x86_64.

Since we want to use this in installed headers, move it to the installed
sys/cdefs.h. This requires a slight tweaking of the name (add trailing
underscores).

These prototypes are duplicated in many places. Add a dedicated
header for holding prototypes for program-specific functions to
avoid that.
