Don't compile non-lib modules as lib modules [BZ #21864]
Some programs have more than one source files. These non-lib modules
should not be compiled with -DMODULE_NAME=libc. This patch puts these
non-lib modules in $(others-extras) and adds $(others-extras) to
all-nonlib.
Many languages use small gap as thousands separator.
Thousands separator should not be a plain space, but a narrow space.
And additionally, it is not allowed to wrap line in the middle of the
number.
Locale data were created in a deep age of 8-bit encodings, so most of
them use space (incorrect: it allows wrapping the line in the middle
of the number), or NBSP (better, but typographically incorrect: space
between groups is too wide).
Now UNICODE is widely supported, so we should leave legacy characters
in favor of correct UNICODE character.
UNICODE has a dedicated character for this purpose:
NNBSP
U+202F NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE: a narrow form of a no-break space,
typically the width of a thin space or a mid space
The NNBSP exists since Unicode 3.0.
Use of NNBSP will prevent line wrapping in the midle of number and
improve readability of numbers.

benchtests: Print json in memmove benchmark
Make the memmove benchmarks (bench-memmove and bench-memmove-large)
print their output in JSON so that they can be evaluated using the
compare_strings.py script.
* benchtests/bench-memmove-large.c: Print output in JSON
format.
* benchtests/bench-memmove.c: Likewise.

benchtests: Remove verification runs from benchmark tests
The test run is unnecessary and interferes with the benchmark. The
tests are done during make check, so they're unnecessary here.
manual: Rewrite the section on widths of integer types.
The manual contradicted itself by saying the number of bits in an
integer type needed to be computed, and then listing a number of
macros that later standards provided for exactly that. The entire
section has been reworked to provide those macros first, while
preserving the documentation of CHAR_BIT and the associated examples
within that context.
* manual/lang.texi
(Computing the Width of an Integer Data Type): Rename section
to "Width of an Integer Type". Remove inaccurate statement
regarding lack of C language facilities for determining width
of integer types, and reorder content to improve flow and
context of discussion.
The ISO version in which va_copy was introduced is made explicit, and
__va_copy is given @standards. The description is updated to be more
clear about the origins of each macro, and the reader is informed
these macros are now provided by the compiler (information previously
embedded in a Texinfo @comment).
* lang.texi (va_copy): Change standard from ISO to C99.
(__va_copy): Add standard and header annotation.
Update description for clarity of origins and current use.
powerpc: Restrict xssqrtqp operands to Vector Registers (bug 21941)
POWER ISA 3.0 introduces the xssqrtqp instructions, which expects
operands to be in Vector Registers (Altivec/VMX), even though this
instruction belongs to the Vector-Scalar Instruction Set.
In GCC's Extended Assembly for POWER, the 'wq' register constraint is
provided for use with IEEE 754 128-bit floating-point values. However,
this constraint does not limit the register allocation to Vector
Registers (Altivec/VMX) and could assign a Vector-Scalar Register (VSX)
to the operands of the instruction.
This patch changes the register constraint used in sqrtf128 from 'wq' to
'v', in order to request a Vector Register (Altivec/VMX) for use with
the xssqrtqp instruction.
Tested for powerpc64le and --with-cpu=power9.
[BZ #21941]
* sysdeps/powerpc/fpu/math_private.h (__ieee754_sqrtf128): Since
xssqrtqp requires operands to be in Vector Registers
(Altivec/VMX), replace the register constraint 'wq' with 'v'.
* sysdeps/powerpc/powerpc64le/power9/fpu/e_sqrtf128.c
(__ieee754_sqrtf128): Likewise.
