Add support for timeconting in userland.

This diff exposes parts of clock_gettime(2) and gettimeofday(2) to
userland via libc eliberating processes from the need for a context
switch everytime they want to count the passage of time.

If a timecounter clock can be exposed to userland than it needs to set
its tc_user member to a non-zero value. Tested with one or multiple
counters per architecture.

The timing data is shared through a pointer found in the new ELF
auxiliary vector AUX_openbsd_timekeep containing timehands information
that is frequently updated by the kernel.

Timing differences between the last kernel update and the current time
are adjusted in userland by the tc_get_timecount() function inside the
MD usertc.c file.

This permits a much more responsive environment, quite visible in
browsers, office programs and gaming (apparently one is are able to fly
in Minecraft now).

Tested by robert@, sthen@, naddy@, kmos@, phessler@, and many others!

OK from at least kettenis@, cheloha@, naddy@, sthen@

New POSIX xlocale implementation written from scratch.
Complete in the sense that all POSIX *locale(3) and *_l(3) functions
are included, but in OpenBSD, we of course only really care about
LC_CTYPE and we only support ASCII and UTF-8.

With important help from kettenis@, guenther@, and jca@.
Repeated testing in ports bulk builds by naddy@.
Additional testing by jca@, sebastia@, dcoppa@, and others.
OK kettenis@ dcoppa@, and guenther@ on an earlier version.
Riding guenther@'s libc/librthread major bump.

Use a Thread Information Block in both single and multi-threaded programs.
This stores errno, the cancelation flags, and related bits for each thread
and is allocated by ld.so or libc.a. This is an ABI break from 5.9-stable!

Make libpthread dlopen'able by moving the cancelation wrappers into libc
and doing locking and fork/errno handling via callbacks that libpthread
registers when it first initializes. 'errno' *must* be declared via
<errno.h> now!

Clean up libpthread's symbol exports like libc.

On powerpc, offset the TIB/TCB/TLS data from the register per the ELF spec.
