Adhemerval Zanella cf2478d53a Deprecate ustat syscall interface
As for sysctl, ustat has been deprecated in favor of {f}statfs.  Also
some newer ports which uses generic interface builds a stub version that
returns ENOSYS.

This patch deprecates ustat interface by removing ustat.h related headers,
adding a compatibility symbol, and avoiding new ports to build and provide
the symbol.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.  Also checked with a
check-abi on all affected ABIs.

	* NEWS: Add ustat.h deprecation entry.
	* bits/ustat.h: Remove file.
	* misc/sys/ustat.h: Likewise.
	* misc/ustat.h: Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/ustat.c: Likewise.
	* misc/Makefile (headers): Remove ustat.h and sys/ustat.h.
	* misc/ustat.c (__ustat): Rename to __old_ustat and export only in
	compatibility mode.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ustat.c (__ustat): Likewise.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/ustat.c: Define DEV_TO_KDEV and use
	generic Linux implementation.

This hierarchy supports Linux systems using the new
asm-generic/unistd.h, which removes many familiar old syscalls.  For
example, to implement open(), newer Linux architectures require glibc
to invoke the __NR_openat syscall with AT_FDCWD.  This hierarchy
provides all those implementations.

It also provides support for 32-bit platforms using the 64-bit kernel
syscall APIs, as the 32-bit ones are no longer provided.  Note that
newer ILP32 environments (x32 or AArch64:ILP32, for example) are
converting to use more 64-bit types in kernel syscalls, so that aspect
of this support is in more flux as of this writing.
