minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

EAI_ADDRFAMILY and EAI_NODATA are not in RFC 3493, but are available
and used in many other systems. It is desirable to have at least one
of them in order to distinguish between names that do not resolve and
those that do not have the requested address type. A change to
getaddrinfo() will use EAI_ADDRFAMILY. Both were "#if 0"; re-enable,
conditioned on __BSD_VISIBLE, and update comments. Also add comments
and __BSD_VISIBLE conditional for the last three EAI errors, which
are not in the RFC or POSIX. Note, all of these are available in
NetBSD and OpenBSD, and EAI_ADDRFAMILY and EAI_NODATA are available
in Linux (glibc).

Error messages in gai_strerror(3) vary largely among OSs.
For new software we largely replaced the obsoleted EAI_NONAME and
with EAI_NODATA but we never updated the corresponding message to better
match the intended use. We also have references to ai_flags and ai_family
which are not very descriptive for non-developer end users.
Bring new new error messages based on informational RFC 3493, which has
obsoleted RFC 2553, and make them consistent among the header adn
manpage.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
POSIX also declares NI_NUMERICSCOPE, which makes getnameinfo() return a
numerical scope identifier. The interesting thing is that support for
this is already present in code, but #ifdef disabled. Expose this
functionality by placing a definition for it in <netdb.h>.
While there, remove references to NI_WITHSCOPEID, as that got removed 11
years ago.
This support appears to have been documented in nsswitch.conf(5) for some
time. The implementation adds two NSS netgroup providers to libc. The
default, compat, provides the behaviour documented in netgroup(5), so this
change does not make any user-visible behaviour changes. A files provider
is also implemented.
innetgr(3) is implemented as an optional NSS method so that providers such
as NIS which are able to implement efficient reverse lookup can do so.
A fallback implementation is used otherwise. getnetgrent_r(3) is added for
convenience and to provide compatibility with glibc and Solaris.
With a small patch to net/nss_ldap, it's possible to specify an ldap
netgroup provider, allowing one to query nisNetgroupTriple entries.

According to POSIX, the netdb.h header must also provide in_addr_t and
in_port_t. It should also provide IPPORT_RESERVED. Copy over the
necessary bits from <netinet/in.h> to achieve that.
As C1X is close to being released, there is no need to wrap around a
feature that is already part of C90. Most of these files already use
`const' in different placed as well.
Since, res_sendsigned(3) and the friends use MD5 functions, it is
hard to include them without having MD5 functions in libc. So,
res_sendsigned(3) is not merged into libc.
Since, res_update(3) in BIND9 is not binary compatible with our
res_update(3), res_update(3) is leaved as is, except some
necessary modifications.
The res_update(3) and the friends are not essential part of the
resolver. They are not defined in resolv.h but defined in
res_update.h separately in BIND9. Further, they are not called from
our tree. So, I hide them from our resolv.h, but leave them only
for binary backward compatibility (perhaps, no one calls them).
Since, struct __res_state_ext is not exposed in BIND9, I hide it
from our resolv.h. And, global variable _res_ext is removed. It
breaks binary backward compatibility. But, since it is not used from
outside of our libc, I think it is safe.

RFC 2553. In XNS5.2, and subsequently in POSIX-2001 and RFC
3493, it was changed to a socklen_t. And, the n_net of a
struct netent used to be an unsigned long integer. In XNS5,
and subsequently in POSIX-2001, it was changed to an uint32_t.
To accomodate for this while preserving ABI compatibility with
the old interface, we need to prepend or append 32 bits of
padding, depending on the (LP64) architecture's endianness.

The getaddrinfo(3), getipnodebyname(3) and resolver(3) can coincide now
with what should be totally reentrant, and h_errno values will now
be preserved correctly, but this does not affect interfaces such as
gethostbyname(3) which are still mostly non-reentrant.
In all of these relevant functions, the thread-safety has been pushed
down as far as it seems possible right now. This means that operations
that are selected via nsdispatch(3) (i.e. files, yp, dns) are protected
still under global locks that getaddrinfo(3) defines, but where possible
the locking is greatly reduced. The most noticeable improvement is
that multiple DNS lookups can now be run at the same time, and this
shows major improvement in performance of DNS-lookup threaded programs,
and solves the "Mozilla tab serialization" problem.
No single-threaded applications need to be recompiled. Multi-threaded
applications that reference "_res" to change resolver(3) options will
need to be recompiled, and ones which reference "h_errno" will also
if they desire the correct h_errno values. If the applications already
understood that _res and h_errno were not thread-safe and had their own
locking, they will see no performance improvement but will not
actually break in any way.
Please note that when NSS modules are used, or when nsdispatch(3)
defaults to adding any lookups of its own to the individual libc
_nsdispatch() calls, those MUST be reentrant as well.

there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.
