The errlist.c is built with -fno-toplevel-reorder to avoid compiler to
reorder the compat assembly directives due an assembler issue [1]
(fixed on 2.39).
This patch removes the compiler flags by split the compat symbol
generation in two phases. First the _sys_errlist_internal internal
without any compat symbol directive is preprocessed to generate an
assembly source code. This generate assembly is then used as input
on a platform agnostic errlist-data.S which then creates the compat
definitions. This prevents compiler to move any compat directive
prior the _sys_errlist_internal definition itself.
Checked on a make check run-built-tests=no on all affected ABIs.

The loader does not need to pull all __get_errlist definitions
and its size is decreased:
Before:
$ size elf/ld.so
text data bss dec hex filename
197774 11024 456 209254 33166 elf/ld.so
After:
$ size elf/ld.so
text data bss dec hex filename
191510 9936 456 201902 314ae elf/ld.so
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
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 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.
remote: *** 912-#endif
remote: *** 913:
remote: *** 914-
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
...
remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines
On the Hurd, the errno values don't start at 0, so _sys_errlist_internal
needs index remapping. The _sys_errlist_internal definition already properly
uses ERR_MAP, but __get_errlist and __get_errname were not.

../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
It returns the string of the error constant, not its description (as
strerrordesc_np). To handle the Hurd error mapping, the ERR_MAP was
removed from errlist.h to errlist.c.
Also, the testcase test-strerr (added on 325081b9eb) was not added
on the check build neither it builds correctly. This patch also
changed it to decouple from errlist.h, the expected return values
are added explicitly for both both strerrorname_np and strerrordesc_np
directly.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. I also run a make
check for i686-gnu.
The strerrorname_np returns error number name (e.g. "EINVAL" for EINVAL)
while strerrordesc_np returns string describing error number (e.g
"Invalid argument" for EINVAL). Different than strerror,
strerrordesc_np does not attempt to translate the return description,
both functions return NULL for an invalid error number.
They should be used instead of sys_errlist and sys_nerr, both are
thread and async-signal safe. These functions are GNU extensions.
Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and s390x-linux-gnu.

The symbol is deprecated by strerror since its usage imposes some issues
such as copy relocations.
Its internal name is also changed to _sys_errlist_internal to avoid
static linking usage. The compat code is also refactored by removing
the over enginered errlist-compat.c generation from manual entried and
extra comment token in linker script file. It disantangle the code
generation from manual and simplify both Linux and Hurd compat code.
The definitions from errlist.c are moved to errlist.h and a new test
is added to avoid a new errno entry without an associated one in manual.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu. I also run a check-abi
on all affected platforms.
