C23 makes various standard library functions, that return a pointer
into an input array, into macros that return a pointer to const when
the relevant argument passed to the macro is a pointer to const.  (The
requirement is for macros, with the existing function types applying
when macro expansion is suppressed.  When a null pointer constant is
passed, such as integer 0, that's the same as a pointer to non-const.)

Implement this feature.  This only applies to C, not C++, since such
macros are not an appropriate way of doing this for C++ and all the
affected functions other than bsearch have overloads to implement an
equivalent feature for C++ anyway.  Nothing is done to apply such a
change to any non-C23 functions with the same property of returning a
pointer into an input array.

The feature is also disabled when _LIBC is defined, since there are
various places in glibc that either redefine these identifiers as
macros, or define the functions themselves, and would need changing to
work in the presence of these macro definitions.  A natural question
is whether we should in fact change those places and not disable the
macro definitions for _LIBC.  If so, we'd need a solution for the
places in glibc that define the macro *before* including the relevant
header (in order in effect to disable the header declaration of the
function by renaming that declaration).

One testcase has #undef added to avoid conflicting with this feature
and another has const added; -Wno-discarded-qualifiers is added for
building zic (but could be removed once there's a new upstream tzcode
release that's const-safe with this C23 change and glibc has updated
to code from that new release).  Probably other places in glibc proper
would need const added if we remove the _LIBC conditionals.

Another question would be whether some GCC extension should be added
to support this feature better with macros that only expand each
argument once (as well as reducing duplication of diagnostics for bad
usages such as non-pointer and pointer-to-volatile-qualfied
arguments).

Tested for x86_64.

  Fix several integer overflow bugs
  zic now checks input bytes more carefully
  Simplify and fix new TZDIR setup
  Default time_t to 64 bits on glibc 2.34+ 32-bit
  zic now generates TZ strings that conform to POSIX when all-year DST
  zic -v now shows extreme-int tm_year transitions
  Fix zic bug in last time type of Asia/Gaza etc.
  Fix zic bug with Palestine after 2075
  Fix bug uncovered by recent change to Iran history
  Fix 'zic -b fat' bug with Port Moresby 32-bit data
  Fix zic bug with -r @X where X is deduced from TZ
  Fix bug with zic -r cutoff before 1st transition
  Fix leap second expiry and truncation
  Fix zic bug on Linux 2.6.16 and 2.6.17
  Fix bug with 'zic -d /a/b/c' if /a is unwriteable
  Don't mistruncate TZif files at leap seconds
  Fix zdump undefined behavior if !USE_LTZ
  zdump -v reports localtime+gmtime failures better
  Fix zdump diagnostic for missing timezone
  Don't assume nonempty argv
  Port better to C23
  Do not assume negative &gt;&gt; behavior
  I18nize zdump a bit better
  Port zdump to right_only installations
  New tzselect menu option 'now'
  tzselect can now use current time to help choose
  Improve tzselect behavior for Turkey etc.
  tzselect: do not create temporary files
  tzselect: work around mawk bug with {2,}
  tzselect: Port to POSIX awk, which prohibits -v newlines
  Do not use empty RE in tzselect
  Don't set TZ in tzselect
  Avoid sed, expr in tzselect
  tzselect: Fix problems with spaces in TZDIR
  Improve tzselect diagnostics
  Remove zic workaround for Qt bug 53071
  Remove zic support for "min" in Rule lines
  Remove zic support for zic -y, Rule TYPEs, pacificnew
  Remove tzselect workaround for Bash 1.14.7 bug

* SHARED-FILES: Update to match current sync.
* config.h.in (HAVE_STRERROR): Remove; no longer needed.
* timezone/Makefile ($(objpfx)zic.o): Depend on tzdir.h.
($(objpfx)tzdir.h): New rule to build a placeholder.
* timezone/private.h, timezone/tzfile.h, timezone/version:
* timezone/zdump.c, timezone/zic.c: Copy verbatim from TZDB 2024a.

<title>time: Set daylight to 1 for matching DST/offset change (bug 29951)</title>

The daylight variable is supposed to be set to 1 if DST is ever in
use for the current time zone.  But __tzfile_read used to do this:

  __daylight = rule_stdoff != rule_dstoff;

This check can fail to set __daylight to 1 if the DST and non-DST
offsets happen to be the same.

I used these shell commands:

../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc &amp;&amp; git commit -am"[this commit message]")

and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah.  I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

This test-case is the tzfile for Asuncion generated by
tzlib-2021e as follows, using the tzlib-2021e zic: "zic -d
DEST -r @1546300800 -L /dev/null -b slim
SOURCE/southamerica".  Note that in its type 2 header, it
has two entries in its "time-types" array (types), but only
one entry in its "transition types" array (type_idxs).

	* timezone/Makefile, timezone/tst-pr28707.c,
	timezone/testdata/gen-XT5.sh: New test.
