This adds SPDX license headers to all source files in pseudo so license
identification models current best practise.

So we had this really strange problem where, sometimes but not always,
pseudo would have strange problems on startup, where the pseudo server
would end up running under pseudo. And this produced the most fascinating
thing, which was:
unsetenv("LD_PRELOAD");
assert(getenv("LD_PRELOAD") == NULL);
for (int i = 0; environ[i]; ++i) {
assert(strncmp(environ[i], "LD_PRELOAD=", 11));
}
(pseudocode untested)
This would crash on the environ search. Because getenv() was not searching
environ.
WHAT.
So it turns out, *bash overrides getenv, setenv, and so on*. Under those
names. Hiding the glibc ones. And this creates horrible problems if you
assumed that your code could call those functions and expect them to work.
So as a workaround, pseudo now uses dlsym to find getenv, etc., from
glibc, and invokes those directly if possible. Also the client now uses
unwrapped fork/exec for spawning the server, which cleans up the
behavior of that code quite a bit.

Server process now waits for its forked child when daemonizing, allowing
us to yield meaningful exit status. Lock is now taken by the child, since
it has a way to tell the parent about the exit status. (We send SIGUSR1 to
the server to cause the wait loop to stop when the client is ready to go.)
This allows us to switch to fcntl locking, which should in theory allow us
to run with the pseudo directory NFS-mounted. Woot!
Also mark a couple of overly spammy messages as PDBGF_VERBOSE to reduce the
volume of uninteresting dup spam when looking at client behaviors.
Client now uses execve to spawn server to work around a very strange behavior
of unsetenv.

Dropping the alloc from file paths meant that pseudo_exec_path
could end up just returning its original argument, which was
const-qualified, meaning its return should also be const-qualified.

Instead of allocating (and then freeing) these paths all the time,
use a rotating selection of buffers of fixed but probably large enough
size (the same size that would have been the maximum anyway in
general). With the exception of fts_open, there's no likely way to
end up needing more than two or three such paths at a time. fts_open
dups the paths since it could have a large number and need them for
a while. This dramatically reduces (in principle) the amount of allocation
and especially reallocation going on.

A partially-implemented profiler for client time, which basically just
inserts (optional) gettimeofday calls in various places and stashes data
in a flat file containing one data block per pid.

Various wrappers checked for a non-null pseudo_get_value("PSEUDO_UNLOAD") to
determine whether the environment should include the pseudo variables. None
of those checks freed the returned value when it was not null. The new
check function does.
The new check function also sees whether PSEUDO_UNLOAD was defined in the
environment that should be used in the wrapped system call. This allows
pkg_postinst scripts to strip out the LD_PRELOAD setting, for example before
invoking qemu to execute commands in an environment that does not have
libpseudo.so.

This is a moderately intrusive change. The basic overall effect:
Debugging messages are now controlled, not by a numeric "level",
but by a series of flags, which are expressed as a string of
letters. Each flag has a single-letter form used for string
specifications, a name, a description, a numeric value (1 through N),
and a flag value (which is 1 << the numeric value). (This does mean
that no flag has the value 1, so we only have 31 bits available.
Tiny violins play.)
The other significant change is that the pseudo_debug calls
are now implemented with a do/while macro containing a conditional,
so that computationally-expensive arguments are never evaluated
if the corresponding debug flags weren't set. The assumption is
that in the vast majority of cases (specifically, all of them
so far) the debug flags for a given call are a compile-time constant,
so the nested conditional will never actually show up in code
when compiled with optimization; we'll just see the appropriate
conditional test.
The VERBOSE flag is magical, in that if the VERBOSE flag is
used in a message, the debug flags have to have both VERBOSE and
at least one other flag for the call to be made.
This should dramatically improve performance for a lot of cases
without as much need for PSEUDO_NDEBUG, and improve the ability of
users to get coherent debugging output that means something and is
relevant to a given case.
It's also intended to set the stage for future development work
involving improving the clarity and legibility of pseudo's diagnostic
messages in general.
Old things which used numeric values for PSEUDO_DEBUG will sort
of continue to work, though they will almost always be less verbose
than they used to. There should probably be a pass through adding
"| PDBGF_CONSISTENCY" to a lot of the messages that are specific
to some other type.

Spotted a couple of things during the last batch of fixes; fixing these
up so things are more consistent or clearer.
|

Change from internal PSEUDO_RELOADED to external PSEUDO_UNLOAD environment
variable. Enable external programs to have a safe and reliable way to unload
pseudo on the next exec*. PSEUDO_UNLOAD also will disable pseudo if we're in a
fork/clone situation in the same way PSEUDO_DISABLED=1 would.
Rename the PSEUDO_DISABLED tests, and create a similar set for the new
PSEUDO_UNLOAD.

This is a spiffied-up rebase of a bunch of intermediate changes, presented
as a whole because it is, surprisingly, less confusing that way. The basic
idea is to separate the guts code into categories ranging from generic
stuff that can be the same everywhere and specific variants. The big scary
one is the Darwin support, which actually seems to run okay on 64-bit OS X
10.6. (No other variants were tested.) The other example given is support
for the old clone() syscall on RHEL 4, which affects some wrlinux use cases.
There's a few minor cleanup bits here, such as a function with inconsistent
calling conventions, but nothing really exciting.
