Subject: r10438: Move portability functions to lib/replace/; replace now
 simply ensures that a given set of (working) POSIX functions are available
 (without prefixes to their names, etc). See lib/replace/README for a list.

Functions that behave different from their POSIX specification
(such as sys_select, sys_read, etc) have kept the sys_ prefix.
(This used to be commit 29919a71059b29fa27a49b1f5b84bb8881de65fc)

+This subsystem ensures that we can always use a certain core set of 
+functions and types, that are either provided by the OS or by replacement 
+functions / definitions in this subsystem. The aim is to try to stick 
+to POSIX functions in here as much as possible. Convenience functions 
+that are available on no platform at all belong in different subsystems
+(such as LIBUTIL).
+
+The following functions are guarenteed:
+
+ftruncate
+strlcpy
+strlcat
+mktime
+rename
+innetgr
+initgroups
+memmove
+strdup
+inet_ntoa
+setlinebuf
+vsyslog
+timegm
+setenv
+strtoull
+strtoll
+strndup
+strnlen
+waitpid
+seteuid
+setegid
+asprintf
+snprintf
+vasprintf
+vsnprintf
+opendir
+readdir
+telldir
+seekdir
+closedir
+dlopen
+dlclose
+dlsym
+dlerror
+chroot
+bzero
+strerror
+errno
+mkstemp (a secure one!)
+
+Prerequisites:
+memset (for bzero)
+syslog (for vsyslog)
+setnetgrent, getnetgrent, endnetgrent (for innetgr)
+mktemp (for mkstemp)
