In our privsep model, imsg is often used to transport sensitive
information between processes. But a process might free an imsg, and
reuse the memory for a different thing. iked uses some
explicit_bzero() to clean imsg-buffer but doing it in the library with
the freezero() is less error-prone and also benefits other daemons.

the standard realloc*() functions can leave behind. imsg buffers are
sometimes used in protocol stacks which require some secrecy, and layering
violations would be needed to resolve this issue otherwise.
Discussed with many.
error cases for -1 and 0 explicitly (it initially only checked for -1,
I updated it to also check for 0, and rzalamena@ figured out that 0
has to be checked in a differently).

correctly - logically complete that now by removing MLINKS from base;
authors need only to ensure there is an entry in NAME for any function/
util being added. MLINKS will still work, and remain for perl to ease
upgrades;

if the data is needed. Use O_CLOEXEC on the internal fd as MT paranoia.
Fix cast in offset calculation; delete register keyword;
prefer memset() over bzero()

development of a cargo cult in case people look at existing files
for examples. This achieves a consistent .Fo and .Fn quoting style
across the whole tree.
consistent handling of negative ids on 32bit/64bit systems.
The only negative uid/gid allowed is -1 which is special-cased
so it can be preserved when writing the new master.passwd file
instead of being written as an unsigned number. OK deraadt@
What's worse, the tzfile.h that gets installed is over 20 years old
and doesn't match the real tzfile.h in libc/time. This makes the
tree safe for /usr/include/tzfile.h removal. The TM_YEAR_BASE
define has been moved to time.h temporarily until its usage is
replaced by 1900 in the tree. Actual removal of tzfile.h is pending
a ports build. Based on a diff from deraadt@
