The obsolete mips header rides again!
The most interesting part of this change is that I've removed the hack
that meant that all system call wrappers starting with `__` defaulted to
being hidden symbols. That's no longer useful given our linker scripts,
and it actively got in the way here because the public libc symbol
actually starts with `__` in glibc, and it would be weird and annoying
for developers if we chose a different name.

This works (by reading /etc/localtime) on NetBSD, but not on Android
since we have no such file. Fix that by using our equivalent system
property instead.
Also s/time zone/timezone/ in documentation and comments. We've always
been inconsistent about this (as is upstream in code comments and
documentation) but it seems especially odd now we expose a _type_ that
spells it "timezone" to talk of "time zone" even as we're describing
that type and its associated functions.

* Rationale
The question often comes up of how to use multiple time zones in C code.
If you're single-threaded, you can just use setenv() to manipulate $TZ.
toybox does this, for example. But that's not thread-safe in two
distinct ways: firstly, getenv() is not thread-safe with respect to
modifications to the environment (and between the way putenv() is
specified and the existence of environ, it's not obvious how to fully
fix that), and secondly the _caller_ needs to ensure that no other
threads are using tzset() or any function that behaves "as if" tzset()
was called (which is neither easy to determine nor easy to ensure).
This isn't a bigger problem because most of the time the right answer
is to stop pretending that libc is at all suitable for any i18n, and
switch to icu4c instead. (The NDK icu4c headers do not include ucal_*,
so this is not a realistic option for most applications.)
But what if you're somewhere in between? Like the rust chrono library,
for example? What then?
Currently their "least worst" option is to reinvent the entire wheel and
read our tzdata files. Which isn't a great solution for anyone, for
obvious maintainability reasons.
So it's probably time we broke the catch-22 here and joined NetBSD in
offering a less broken API than standard C has for the last 40 years.
Sure, any would-be caller will have to have a separate "is this
Android?" and even "is this API level >= 35?" path, but that will fix
itself sometime in the 2030s when developers can just assume "yes, it
is", whereas if we keep putting off exposing anything, this problem
never gets solved.
(No-one's bothered to try to implement the std::chrono::time_zone
functionality in libc++ yet, but they'll face a similar problem if/when
they do.)
* Implementation
The good news is that tzcode already implements these functions, so
there's relatively little here.
I've chosen not to expose `struct state` because `struct __timezone_t`
makes for clearer error messages, given that compiler diagnostics will
show the underlying type name (`struct __timezone_t*`) rather than the
typedef name (`timezone_t`) that's used in calling code.
I've moved us over to FreeBSD's wcsftime() rather than keep the OpenBSD
one building --- I've long wanted to only have one implementation here,
and FreeBSD is already doing the "convert back and forth, calling the
non-wide function in the middle" dance that I'd hoped to get round to
doing myself someday. This should mean that our strftime() and
wcsftime() behaviors can't easily diverge in future, plus macOS/iOS are
mostly FreeBSD, so any bugs will likely be interoperable with the other
major mobile operating system, so there's something nice for everyone
there!
The FreeBSD wcsftime() implementation includes a wcsftime_l()
implementation, so that's one stub we can remove. The flip side of that
is that it uses mbsrtowcs_l() and wcsrtombs_l() which we didn't
previously have. So expose those as aliases of mbsrtowcs() and
wcsrtombs().

Nothing to see here --- you'll want to keep using POSIX clock_gettime()
and clock_getres() instead. But portable code might use this eventually,
and it's trivial, so let's add it anyway.
(The whole "zero as an error return" precluding the direct use of
Linux's CLOCK_ constants is what really makes this a terrible API ---
we're going to have to add explicit translation any time they add a
new base.)

The recent header nullability additions and the corresponding source
cleanup made me notice that we're missing a couple of actions that most
of the other implementations have. They've also been added to the _next_
revision of POSIX, unchanged except for the removal of the `_np` suffix.
They're trivial to implement, the testing is quite simple too, and
if they're going to be in POSIX soon, having them accessible in older
versions of Android via __RENAME() seems useful. (No-one else has shipped
the POSIX names yet.)

At the time I added <stdio_ext.h>, I just added what was on the man
page (which matched glibc), not realizing that musl and glibc had
slightly different functionality in their headers.
The toybox maintainer came up with a legitimate use case for this, for
which there is no portable workaround, so I'm adding it here. I'm not
adding the other functions that are in musl but not glibc for lack of a
motivating use case.

Coming to C23 via WG14 N2630.
This one is a little interesting, because it actually changes existing
behavior. Previously "0b101" would be parsed as "0", "b", "101" by these
functions. I'm led to believe that glibc plans to actually have separate
versions of these functions for C23 and pre-C23, so callers can have the
behavior they (implicitly) specify by virtue of which -std= they compile
with. Android has never really done anything like that, and I'm pretty
sure app developers have more than enough to worry about with API levels
without having to deal with the cartesian product of API level and C
standard.
Therefore, my plan A is "if you're running on Android >= U, you get C23
behavior". My plan B in the (I think unlikely) event that that actually
causes trouble for anyone is "if you're _targeting_ Android >= U, you
get C23 behavior". I don't think we'd actually want to have two versions
of each of these functions under any circumstances --- that seems by far
the most confusing option.

We're still missing clang support for %b and %B in format string checking,

RSS is the real measurement by which an allocator should be measured
since RSS is the real memory consumed by the process. PSS is a shared
value.
For memory_replay, PSS and RSS should be the same, so this didn't really
matter in practice, but it's better to use the correct name of RSS.
Also, add a small section about fragmentation.
