with these changes, in a program that has not created any threads
besides the main thread and that has not called f[try]lockfile, getc
performs indistinguishably from getc_unlocked. this was measured on
several i386 and x86_64 models, and should hold on other archs too
simply by the properties of the code generation.
the case where the caller already holds the lock (via flockfile) is
improved significantly as well (40-60% reduction in time on machines
tested) and the case where locking is needed is improved somewhat
(roughly 10%).
the key technique used here is forcing the non-hot path out-of-line
and enabling it to be a tail call. a static noinline function
(conditional on __GNUC__) is used rather than the extern hiddens used
elsewhere for this purpose, so that the compiler can choose
non-default calling conventions, making it possible to tail-call to a
callee that takes more arguments than the caller on archs where
arguments are passed on the stack or must have space reserved on the
stack for spilling the. the tid could just be reloaded via the thread
pointer in locking_getc, but that would be ridiculously expensive on
some archs where thread pointer load requires a trap or syscall.

for conformance, two functions should not have the same address. a
conforming program could use the addresses of getc and fgetc in ways
that assume they are distinct. normally i would just use a wrapper,
but these functions are so small and performance-critical that an
extra layer of function call could make the one that's a wrapper
nearly twice as slow, so I'm just duplicating the code instead.

for some nonsensical reason, glibc's headers use inline functions that
redirect some of the standard functions to ugly nonstandard names (and
likewise for some of their nonstandard functions).

previously, stdio used spinlocks, which would be unacceptable if we
ever add support for thread priorities, and which yielded
pathologically bad performance if an application attempted to use
flockfile on a key file as a major/primary locking mechanism.
i had held off on making this change for fear that it would hurt
performance in the non-threaded case, but actually support for
recursive locking had already inflicted that cost. by having the
internal locking functions store a flag indicating whether they need
to perform unlocking, rather than using the actual recursive lock
counter, i was able to combine the conditionals at unlock time,
eliminating any additional cost, and also avoid a nasty corner case
where a huge number of calls to ftrylockfile could cause deadlock
later at the point of internal locking.
this commit also fixes some issues with usage of pthread_self
conflicting with __attribute__((const)) which resulted in crashes with
some compiler versions/optimizations, mainly in flockfile prior to
pthread_create.

the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill
the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and
likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's
buffer in a single syscall.
making this change required fundamental architectural changes to
stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process:
- the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail
 following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set
 (though the latter could easily be changed back if desired)
- unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
 consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer
 has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters.
- the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of
 the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while
 shrinking the structure to save some space.
- error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct.
- library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked
 now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow
 are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or
 write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g.
 with ungetc.
- lots of other small things.
