The conform/ tests for fcntl.h are failing for XPG3 and XPG4 because
of missing S_IFSOCK.
This is a case of a bogus test. The relevant wording requiring such
constants is, in current POSIX (and this requirement dates back as far
as XPG4), "The <fcntl.h> header shall define the symbolic constants
for file modes for use as values of mode_t as described in
<sys/stat.h>.". Note that this is *file modes* not *file types*.
That makes sense, since the point is presumably for use with functions
such as open that are declared in fcntl.h, where file modes are
relevant but file types aren't. So this patch removes all those
spurious S_IF* expectations for fcntl.h (the macros are generally
still *allowed* through the permission to make everything from
sys/stat.h visible).
Tested for x86_64 and x86.

Various conformtest tests fail because of known issues, filed in
Bugzilla, that are hard to fix (requiring new features, kernel
cooperation or involving changing types in ways that may involve care
around padding when interfacing to the kernel). Such an issue has the
effect of making the whole test for the (standard, header) pair fail,
so hiding any other issues with that header for that standard
(possibly regressions or architecture-specific issues).
This patch adds a mechanism for individual conformtest test
expectations to start with xfail-, meaning that a failure of that
particular assertion does not cause the whole test to fail at the
makefile level and so failure at the makefile level can be used to
detect other issues that are likely to be easier to fix. This is
similar to the whitelisted symbols in the linknamespace tests, or the
marking of particular libm tests as allowing spurious or missing
exceptions, for example. The bugs filed in Bugzilla should still be
fixed, and the xfail- markers removed at that point, but xfail-
renders the tests more useful until that happens.
Note that there is no way to add such a marker for the assertion that
a header uses only symbols in the namespace of symbols it's meant to
use. I don't think there's any need for a way to xfail those
namespace tests other than xfailing the whole (standard, header) pair
at the makefile level, since they are generally straightforward to fix
(add appropriate conditionals on the problem definitions).
The xfails in this patch do not necessarily cover all cases of
hard-to-fix header bugs filed in Bugzilla that currently show up in
conformtest failures; there may be more yet to add for existing open
bugs.
