>Description:
	We don't implement strerror_r(3).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Code inspection.

>Fix:
	Implement strerror_r(3), based on
	libc/string/__strerror.c::__strerror()
	Modify it to meet the SUSv3 standard (return EINVAL
	if the errnum is invalid).

	Recode perror(3), strerror(3), and __strerror() to
	use strerror_r(3).

	Note: according to SUSv3 strerror(3) and perror(3)
	are allowed to share the same buffer, even though
	the comments in our implementation say otherwise.
