Of course, strerror_r() may still fail with ERANGE. Although the POSIX specification said this could fail with EINVAL and doing this likely indicates invalid use of errno, most other implementations permitted it, various POSIX testsuites require it to work (matching the older sys_errlist array) and apparently some applications depend on it.

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.
