move rsyscall out of pthread_create module

this is something of a tradeoff, as now set*id() functions, rather
than pthread_create, are what pull in the code overhead for dealing
with linux's refusal to implement proper POSIX thread-vs-process

1. it's cleaner this way, especially cleaner to optimize out the

2. it's expected that only a tiny number of core system programs will
ever use set*id() functions, whereas many programs may want to use
threads, and making thread overhead tiny is an incentive for "light"

fix race condition in rsyscall handler

the problem: there is a (single-instruction) race condition window
between a thread flagging itself dead and decrementing itself from the
thread count. if it receives the rsyscall signal at this exact moment,
the rsyscall caller will never succeed in signalling enough flags to
succeed, and will deadlock forever. in previous versions of musl, the

the thread count, but this cost a whole syscall just to account for

handler if the thread is dead, modify the signal mask of the saved

rename __simple_malloc.c to lite_malloc.c - yes this affects behavior!

why does this affect behavior? well, the linker seems to traverse
archive files starting from its current position when resolving
symbols. since calloc.c comes alphabetically (and thus in sequence in
the archive file) between __simple_malloc.c and malloc.c, attempts to
resolve the "malloc" symbol for use by calloc.c were pulling in the
full malloc.c implementation rather than the __simple_malloc.c
implementation.

as of now, lite_malloc.c and malloc.c are adjacent in the archive and
in the correct order, so malloc.c should never be used to resolve
"malloc" unless it's already needed to resolve another symbol ("free"
or "realloc").

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)

- unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
  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.
