major stdio overhaul, using readv/writev, plus other changes

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)

  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.

1. a race condition, whereby a cancellation request occurring after a
syscall returned from kernelspace but before the subsequent
CANCELPT_END would cause cancellable resource-allocating syscalls

2. signal handlers invoked while the thread was blocked at a
cancellation point behaved as if asynchronous cancellation mode wer in
effect, resulting in potentially dangerous state corruption if a
cancellation request occurs.

the glibc/nptl implementation of threads shares both of these issues.

with this commit, both are fixed. however, cancellation points
encountered in a signal handler will not be acted upon if the signal
was received while the thread was already at a cancellation point.
they will of course be acted upon after the signal handler returns, so
in real-world usage where signal handlers quickly return, it should
not be a problem. it's possible to solve this problem too by having
sigaction() wrap all signal handlers with a function that uses a
pthread_cleanup handler to catch cancellation, patch up the saved
context, and return into the cancellable function that will catch and
act upon the cancellation. however that would be a lot of complexity
for minimal if any benefit...
