If lstat/stat fails with EACCES, st is left uninitialized, but its
st_dev/st_ino fields are then used in several places:
* for FTW_MOUNT check (in practice typically results in a false
positive and an early return)
* for copying to the new struct history (though the struct is not used
afterwards since we don't recurse in this case)
* for cycle detection check (could theoretically result in a false
positive and an early return)
To avoid adding FTW_NS checks to all these places, fix this by
zero-initializing st_dev/st_ino (which can never match an existing
dentry due to zero inode being reserved in Linux), and check for FTW_NS
only when handling FTW_MOUNT since we need two valid dentries there.

originally the namespace-infringing "large file support" interfaces
were included as part of glibc-ABI-compat, with the intent that they
not be used for linking, since our off_t is and always has been
unconditionally 64-bit and since we usually do not aim to support
nonstandard interfaces when there is an equivalent standard interface.
unfortunately, having the symbols present and available for linking
caused configure scripts to detect them and attempt to use them
without declarations, producing all the expected ill effects that
entails.
as a result, commit 2dd8d5e1b8ba1118ff1782e96545cb8a2318592c was made
to prevent this, using macros to redirect the LFS64 names to the
standard names, conditional on _GNU_SOURCE or _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE.
however, this has turned out to be a source of further problems,
especially since g++ defines _GNU_SOURCE by default. in particular,
the presence of these names as macros breaks a lot of valid code.
this commit removes all the LFS64 symbols and replaces them with a
mechanism in the dynamic linker symbol lookup failure path to retry
with the spurious "64" removed from the symbol name. in the future,
if/when the rest of glibc-ABI-compat is moved out of libc, this can be
removed.

access always computes result with real ids not effective ones, so it
is not a valid means of determining whether the directory is readable.
instead, attempt to open it before reporting whether it's readable,
and then use fdopendir rather than opendir to open and read the
entries.
effort is made here to keep fd_limit behavior the same as before even
if it was not correct.

the LFS64 macro was not self-documenting and barely saved any
characters. simply use weak_alias directly so that it's clear what's
being done, and doesn't depend on a header to provide a strange macro.

the rightmost '/' character is not necessarily the delimiter before
the basename; it could be a spurious trailing character on the
directory name.
this change does not introduce any normalization of pathnames or
stripping of trailing slashes, contrary to at least glibc and perhaps
other implementations; it jusst prevents their presence from breaking
things. whether further changes should be made is an open question
that may depend on conformance and/or application compatibility
considerations.
based loosely on patch by Joakim Sindholt.

the incorrect check for crossing device boundaries was preventing nftw
from traversing anything except the initially provided pathname.
