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.
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
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.
