libc: add helper furnction to set sysctl() user.* variables

Testing had revealed that trying to retrieve the user.localbase
variable into to small a buffer would return the correct error code,
but would not fill the available buffer space with a partial result.

A partial result is of no use, but this is still a violation of the
documented behavior, which has been fixed in the previous commit to
this function.

I just checked the code for "user.cs_path" and found that it had the
same issue.

Instead of fixing the logic for each user.* sysctl string variable
individually, this commit adds a helper function set_user_str() that
implements the semantics specified in the sysctl() man page.

It is currently only used for "user.cs_path" and "user.localbase",
but it will offer a significant simplification when further such
variables will be added (as I intend to do).

libc: return partial sysctl() result if buffer is too small

Testing of a new feature revealed that calling sysctl() to retrieve

libc: return partial sysctl() result if buffer is too small

Testing of a new feature revealed that calling sysctl() to retrieve
the value of the user.localbase variable passing too low a buffer size
could leave the result buffer unchanged.

The behavior in the normal case of a sufficiently large buffer was
correct.

All known callers pass a sufficiently large buffer and have thus not
been affected by this issue. If a non-default value had been assigned
to this variable, the result was as documented, too.

Fix the function to fill the buffer with a partial result, if the
passed in buffer size is too low to hold the full result.

Make sysctl user.local a tunable that can be written at run-time

This sysctl value had been provided as a read-only variable that is
compiled into the C library based on the value of _PATH_LOCALBASE in
paths.h.

After this change, the value is compiled into the kernel as an empty
string, which is translated to _PATH_LOCALBASE by the C library.

This empty string can be overridden at boot time or by a privileged
user at run time and will then be returned by sysctl.

When set to an empty string, the value returned by sysctl reverts to
_PATH_LOCALBASE.

This update does not change the behavior on any system that does
not modify the default value of user.localbase.

I consider this change as experimental and would prefer if the run-time
write permission was reconsidered and the sysctl variable defined with
CLFLAG_RDTUN instead to restrict it to be set at boot time.

Clean up the vcs ID strings in libc's gen/ directory.

- Move CSRG IDs into __SCCSID().
- When a file has been copied, consistently use 'From: <tag>' for strings
referencing the version of the source file copied from in the license
block comment.
- Some of the 'From:' tags were using $FreeBSD$ that was being expanded on
each checkout. Fix those to hardcode the FreeBSD tag from the file that
was copied at the time of the copy.
- When multiple strings are present list them in "chronological" order,
so CSRG (__SCCSID) before FreeBSD (__FBSDID). If a file came from
OtherBSD and contains a CSRG ID from the OtherBSD file, use the order
CSRG -> OtherBSD -> FreeBSD.

General further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

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.

It seems the prototypes are now in sync with NetBSD as well.
