Locale fixes from Alexander Aganichev

Implement the nan, nanf, nanl functions from C99.

C99 macros fpclassify isfinite isinf isnan isnormal and FP_* implemented.

Add _truename_sfn. Use _truename_sfn in rename when comparing truenames,
to avoid problems when comparing the truenames of existing
and non-existing files. This fixes a bug in moving directories
into themselves.   Previously rename failed to detect that a subdirectory
was being moved into itself, when the current directory was
a short filename.

Inf, Infinity, NaN and Nan(...) support added.

djtar now copes with single-span spanned archives.

__tb_size macro added.

Add note about uclock using rdtsc on Windows NT family

Added fchdir

Add NAN macro to libc.

Added pwrite()

Added readv() and writev()

Added _tolower & _toupper functions

Bug fix: isatty should return 0 for invalid file descriptors.
This bug was introduced, when I rewrote isatty to use _get_dev_info.

Do not print colon or blank if called with null pointer or string.

Make isatty use _get_dev_info and the defines from <libc/getdinfo.h>.
A benefit of this is that isatty() will now fail for invalid descriptors,
as required by POSIX.

chmod and chown can by hooked by FSEXTs now.

Documentation, crt0 variable restructuring, _rdtsc addition

Use @dots instead of ....

-stubparams option added to stubify.

of functions; fix bug in handling of width conversions with 'X'
type conversion and _doscan & the scanf-family of functions.
