Make syslog() use the internal (non-cancellation point) _usleep().
Prior to this it was calling the cancellable usleep() while holding
a lock.

Use prototypes in the function definitions.

Remove a trailing newline, to behave as documented in syslog(3):
"A trailing newline is added if none is present."

The code in syslogd, stderr, and console output always adds a newline
at the EOL. However, the existing code never actually removed a
trailing newline, and apparently relied on syslogd to convert it
into a space character. Thus, the existing newline was converted
to a trailing space at the EOL by syslogd, while stderr, and console
output resulted in an empty line.

Remove _THREAD_SAFE and make libc thread-safe by default by
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.

Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo

Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.

Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.

Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.

Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.
