libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.

this cleans up what had become widespread direct inline use of "GNU C"
style attributes directly in the source, and lowers the barrier to
increased use of hidden visibility, which will be useful to recovering
some of the efficiency lost when the protected visibility hack was
dropped in commit dc2f368e565c37728b0d620380b849c3a1ddd78f, especially
on archs where the PLT ABI is costly.

despite clarifications made to the COPYRIGHT file in commit
f0a61399330bae42beeb27d6ecd05570b3382a60, there continues to be
confusion about whether the permissions granted actually apply to all
files. I am the sole author of these files and clearly intend, and
have always intended, for the grant of permission to apply to them.

this patch makes the functions which work directly on multibyte
characters treat the high bytes as individual abstract code units
rather than as multibyte sequences when MB_CUR_MAX is 1. since
MB_CUR_MAX is presently defined as a constant 4, all of the new code
added is dead code, and optimizing compilers' code generation should
not be affected at all. a future commit will activate the new code.
as abstract code units, bytes 0x80 to 0xff are represented by wchar_t
values 0xdf80 to 0xdfff, at the end of the surrogates range. this
ensures that they will never be misinterpreted as Unicode characters,
and that all wctype functions return false for these "characters"
without needing locale-specific logic. a high range outside of Unicode
such as 0x7fffff80 to 0x7fffffff was also considered, but since C11's
char16_t also needs to be able to represent conversions of these
bytes, the surrogate range was the natural choice.

SA and SB are used as the lowest and highest valid starter bytes, but
the value of SB was one-past the last valid starter. this caused
access past the end of the state table when the illegal byte '\xf5'
was encountered in a starter position. the error did not show up in
full-character decoding tests, since the bogus state read from just
past the table was unlikely to admit any continuation bytes as valid,
but would have shown up had we tested feeding '\xf5' to the
byte-at-a-time decoding in mbrtowc: it would cause the funtion to
wrongly return -2 rather than -1.
I may eventually go back and remove all references to SA and SB,
replacing them with the values; this would make the code more
transparent, I think. the original motivation for using macros was to
allow misguided users of the code to redefine them for the purpose of
enlarging the set of accepted sequences past the end of Unicode...

in gcc 3, the visibility attribute must be placed on both the
declaration and on the definition. if it's omitted from the
definition, the compiler fails to emit the ".hidden" directive in the
assembly, and the linker will either generate textrels (if supported,
such as on i386) or refuse to link (on targets where certain types of
textrels are forbidden or impossible without further assumptions about
memory layout, such as on x86_64).
this patch also unifies the decision about when to use visibility into
libc.h and makes the visibility in the utf-8 state machine tables
based on libc.h rather than a duplicate test.

this code was written independently of musl, with support for a the
backwards, nonstandard "31-bit unicode" some libraries/apps might
want. unfortunately the extra code (inside #ifdef) makes the source
harder to read and makes code that should be simple look complex, so
i'm removing it. anyone who wants to use the old code can find it in
the history or from elsewhere.
also, change the visibility of the __fsmu8 state machine table to
hidden, if supported. this should improve performance slightly in
shared-library builds.
