refine i18n stuffs.
- add libc/citrus directory.
this directory contains the common stuffs not only for locale
but also other facilities relating to i18n (e.g. iconv).
- To keep the binary compatibility for the ctype modules easily,
the interface between libc and the modules is simplified.
- For the future integrated extension, module pool is renamed
from "/usr/lib/runemodule" to "/usr/lib/i18n".
In the future, this directory will contain the modules for "iconv",
"collation", etc.
- some cosmetic changes.
- Bug fix for runetype.h; __attribute__((__packed__)) is placed at
the wrong position and it is invalid unintentionally.
But, the all members of the structures seem well-aligned. Thus,
this bug causes no problem, hopefully.

HEADS UP:
- /usr/lib/rumemodule is obsoleted. If you use the multibyte locales,
you need to install /usr/lib/i18n/* from sys/lib/i18n_module .
- The binary compatibility of /usr/share/locale/*/LC_CTYPE is probably kept.
Perhaps, the bug fix about __packed__ mentioned above breaks the
compatibility... Be careful especially on 64bit platforms.
