This patch unifies the patterns of using the 'Genode' and 'Libc'
namespaces.
Types defined in the 'internal/' headers reside in the 'Libc'
namespace. The code in the headers does not need to use the
'Libc::' prefix.
Compilation units import the 'Libc' namespace after the definition of
local types. Local types reside in the 'Libc' namespace (and should
eventually move to an 'internal/' header).
Since the 'Libc' namespace imports the 'Genode' namespace, there is
no need to use the 'Genode::' prefix. Consequently, code in the
compilation units rarely need to qualify the 'Genode' or 'Libc'
namespaces.
There are a few cases where the 'Libc', the 'Genode', and the global
(libc) namespaces are ambigious. In these cases, an explicit
clarification is needed:
- 'Genode::Allocator' differs from 'Libc::Allocator'.
- 'Genode::Env' differs from 'Libc::Env'.
- Genode's string functions (strcmp, memcpy, strcpy) conflict
with the names of the (global) libc functions.
- There exist both 'Genode::uint64_t' and the libc'c 'uint64_t'.
Issue #3497
Implement getifaddrs and freeifaddrs within the libc using socket
control files at the VFS. Add an "address" and "netmask" file to the
lwIP plugin.
Only a single IPv4 address is initially supported, and the broadcast
address returned will never be valid.
Fixes#3439
Replace the FreeBSD libm with OpenLibm, which is easier to port.
OpenLibm is used by Mirage's freestanding Ocaml runtime (sin POSIX).

Ref #3289
The minimal-footprint Ada runtime for implementing library-like
functionality in SPARK is now called "spark" runtime.
The full Ada runtime for entire components written in Ada and using the
libc as glue to the underlying system will move to the world repository
as "ada" runtime.
Issue #3144
The pthread API is considered a standard feature of libc so better to
simply merge it with the libc. Pthreads are in fact already a part of
the libc in the form of weak symbols. This merger is also a prerequisite
for better integrating pthreads with the libc I/O task.
Fix#3054
Implement the passwd database subroutines with single-user database.
This database is populated with a <passwd/> sub-node of the libc
configuration node. All fields of the "passwd" struct may be specified
with reasonable defaults provided for a "root" user. This allows a
libc-based component to spoof user information for the sake of porting
existing Unix software.
A test is provided at run/libc_getpwent.
