The standard syscall() function or macro uses the libc return value
convention. Errors returned from the kernel as negative values are
stored in errno and -1 is returned. Users who want to avoid using
errno don't have a way to call raw syscalls and check the returned
error.
Add a new macro _syscall() which works like the standard syscall()
but passes through the return value from the kernel unchanged.
The naming scheme and return values match the named _sys_foo()
system call wrappers already part of nolibc.

__sysret() transforms the return value from the kernel into the libc
return value convention. There is no reason for it to be called in the
middle of the internals of the syscall() implementation macros.
Move the call up, directly into syscall(), to make the code simpler.

On some architectures without native division instructions
the division can generate calls into libgcc/compiler-rt.
This library might not be available, so its use should be avoided.
Use the compiler builtin to check for overflows without needing a
division. The builtin has been available since GCC 3 and clang 3.8.

The current custom implementation of offsetof() fails UBSAN:
runtime error: member access within null pointer of type 'struct ...'
This means that all its users, including container_of(), free() and
realloc(), fail.
Use __builtin_offsetof() instead which does not have this issue and
has been available since GCC 4 and clang 3.

statx() returns both 32-bit minor and major numbers. For both of them to
fit into the 'dev_t' in 'struct stat', that needs to be 64 bits wide.
The other uses of 'dev_t' in nolibc are makedev() and friends and
mknod(). makedev() and friends are going to be adapted in an upcoming
commit and mknod() will silently truncate 'dev_t' to 'unsigned int' in
the kernel, similar to other libcs.

Functions make it easier to keep the input and output types straight and
avoid duplicate evaluations of their arguments.
Also these functions will become a bit more complex to handle full
64-bit 'dev_t' which is easier to read in a function.
Still stay compatible with code which expects these to be macros.

For (eg) "%*.*s" treat a negative field width as a request to left align
the output (the same as the '-' flag), and a negative precision to
request the default precision.
Set the default precision to -1 (not INT_MAX) and add explicit checks
to the string handling for negative values (makes the tet unsigned).
For numeric output check for 'precision >= 0' instead of testing
_NOLIBC_PF_FLAGS_CONTAIN(flags, '.').
This needs an inverted test, some extra goto and removes an indentation.
The changed conditionals fix printf("%0-#o", 0) - but '0' and '-' shouldn't
both be specified.

The sys_foo() naming scheme used by the syscall wrappers may collide
with application symbols. Especially as 'sys_' is an obvious naming
scheme an application may choose for its own custom systemcall wrappers.
Avoid these conflicts by using an leading underscore which moves the
names into the implementation's namespace. This naming scheme was chosen
over a '__nolibc_' prefix, as these functions are not an implementation
detail but a documented interface meant to be used by applications.
While this may break some existing users, adapting them should be
straightforward. Given that nolibc is most-likely vendored, no
unexpected breakage should happen. No in-tree users are affected.
These conflicts happen when compiling some of the kernel selftests
with nolibc.

With -std=c89 the macro __STDC_VERSION__ is not defined.
While undefined identifiers in '#if' directives are assumed to be '0',
with -Wundef a warning is emitted.
Avoid the warning by explicitly falling back to '0' if __STDC_VERSION__
is not provided by the preprocessor.

Add support for the GNU extensions 'program_invocation_name' and
'program_invocation_short_name'. These are useful to print error
messages, which by convention include the program name.
As these are global variables which take up memory even if not used,
similar to 'errno', gate them behind NOLIBC_IGNORE_ERRNO.

Octal output isn't often used, but adding it costs very little.
Supporting "%#o" is mildly annoying, it has to add a leading '0' if
there isn't one present. In simple cases this is the same as adding a sign
of '0' - but that adds an extra '0' in a few places.
So you need 3 tests, %o, # and no leading '0' (which can only be checked
after the zero pad for precision).
If all the test are deferred until after zero padding then too many values
are 'live' across the call to _nolibc_u64toa_base() and get spilled to stack.
Hence the check that ignores the 'sign' if it is the same as the first
character of the output string.
Add tests for octal output.

Includes support for variable field widths (eg "%*.*d").
Zero padding is limited to 31 zero characters.
This is wider than the largest numeric field so shouldn't be a problem.
All the standard printf formats are now supported except octal
and floating point.
