When we define the const-correct overloads of <string.h> functions in
libc++ itself, use builtins whenever possible. This avoids depending on
the presence of these functions in the C library headers.
Also, as a fly-by, improve the tests for these functions since we
basically didn't check anything but their signature. We could have
used the wrong builtin (as long as the signature matched) without ever
noticing, which was quite scary.

Based on https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudlibc, it appears that the CloudABI
project has been abandoned. This patch removes a bunch of CloudABI specific
logic that had been added to support that platform.
Note that some knobs like LIBCXX_ENABLE_STDIN and LIBCXX_ENABLE_STDOUT
coud be useful in their own right, however those are currently broken.
If we want to re-add such knobs in the future, we can do it like we've
done it for localization & friends so that we can officially support
that configuration.

In 5fd17ab, we worked around the Apple system headers not providing
const-correct overloads for some <string.h> functions. However, that
required an attribute that was only present in recent Clangs at the
time. We can now assume that all supported Clang versions on Apple
platforms do support that attribute.

Summary:
Freestanding is *weird*. The standard allows it to differ in a bunch of odd
manners from regular C++, and the committee would like to improve that
situation. I'd like to make libc++ behave better with what freestanding should
be, so that it can be a tool we use in improving the standard. To do that we
need to try stuff out, both with "freestanding the language mode" and
"freestanding the library subset".
Let's start with the super basic: run the libc++ tests in freestanding, using
clang as the compiler, and see what works. The easiest hack to do this:
In utils/libcxx/test/config.py add:
self.cxx.compile_flags += ['-ffreestanding']
Run the tests and they all fail.
Why? Because in freestanding `main` isn't special. This "not special" property
has two effects: main doesn't get mangled, and main isn't allowed to omit its
`return` statement. The first means main gets mangled and the linker can't
create a valid executable for us to test. The second means we spew out warnings
(ew) and the compiler doesn't insert the `return` we omitted, and main just
falls of the end and does whatever undefined behavior (if you're luck, ud2
leading to non-zero return code).
Let's start my work with the basics. This patch changes all libc++ tests to
declare `main` as `int main(int, char**` so it mangles consistently (enabling us
to declare another `extern "C"` main for freestanding which calls the mangled
one), and adds `return 0;` to all places where it was missing. This touches 6124
files, and I apologize.
The former was done with The Magic Of Sed.
The later was done with a (not quite correct but decent) clang tool:
https://gist.github.com/jfbastien/793819ff360baa845483dde81170feed
This works for most tests, though I did have to adjust a few places when e.g.
the test runs with `-x c`, macros are used for main (such as for the filesystem
tests), etc.
Once this is in we can create a freestanding bot which will prevent further
regressions. After that, we can start the real work of supporting C++
freestanding fairly well in libc++.

to reflect the new license. These used slightly different spellings that
defeated my regular expressions.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

<string.h> and wcschr, wcspbrk, wcsrchr, wmemchr, and wcsstr from <wchar.h> to
provide a const-correct overload set even when the underlying C library does
not.
This change adds a new macro, _LIBCPP_PREFERRED_OVERLOAD, which (if defined)
specifies that a given overload is a better match than an otherwise equally
good function declaration without the overload. This is implemented in modern
versions of Clang via __attribute__((enable_if)), and not elsewhere.
We use this new macro to define overloads in the global namespace for these
functions that displace the overloads provided by the C library, unless we
believe the C library is already providing the correct signatures.

One of the aspects of CloudABI is that it aims to help you write code
that is thread-safe out of the box. This is very important if you want
to write libraries that are easy to reuse. For CloudABI we decided to
not provide the thread-unsafe functions. So far this is working out
pretty well, as thread-unsafety issues are detected really early on.
The following patch adds a knob to libc++,
_LIBCPP_HAS_NO_THREAD_UNSAFE_C_FUNCTIONS, that can be set to disable
thread-unsafe functions that can easily be avoided in practice. The
following functions are not thread-safe:
- <clocale>: locale handles should be preferred over setlocale().
- <cstdlib>: mbrlen(), mbrtowc() and wcrtomb() should be preferred over
their non-restartable counterparts.
- <ctime>: asctime(), ctime(), gmtime() and localtime() are not
thread-safe. The first two are also deprecated by POSIX.
