Rearrange strerror() so that its itoa procedure can be used with

strerror_r(). Doing this allows us to ensure that strerror_r() always fills the supplied buffer regardless of EINVAL or ERANGE errors. strerror()'s semantics have changed slightly such that an argument of 0 is now considered invalid and errno is set to EINVAL. Remove internal regression test for strerror() and strerror_r(). This will be reincarnated in src/tools/regression/lib/libc/string. In strerror(3), add a comment about strerror()'s bogus return type.

Add a Standards section, claiming conformance to IEEE Std. 1003.1-2001.

Also add a note to the Bugs section pointing out that strerror() and perror() share the same static buffer.

more careful about reporting truncation with ERANGE in strerror_r. Set errno to EINVAL for "unknown" errnum in strerror as required by P1003.1-200x Draft June 14, 2001. More carefully document the handling of strerrbuf when errors (ERANGE, EINVAL) are encountered in strerror_r. Reviewed by: bde (ongoing discussion)
