i/o is done. Instead, pass an opaque cookie which is then passed to a
new routine, coredump_write, which does the actual i/o. This allows the
method of doing i/o to change without affecting any future MD code.
Also, make netbsd32_core.c [re]use core_netbsd.c (in a similar manner that
core_elf64.c uses core_elf32.c) and eliminate that code duplication.
cpu_coredump{,32} is now called twice, first with a NULL iocookie to fill
the core structure and a second to actually write md parts of the coredump.
All i/o is nolonger random access and is suitable for shipping over a stream.
int getline(FILE *stream, char *buf, size_t buflen, const char **errormsg)
Read a line from the FILE stream into buf/buflen using fgets(), so up
to buflen-1 chars will be read and the result will be NUL terminated.
If the line has a trailing newline it will be removed.
If the line is too long, excess characters will be read until
newline/EOF/error.
Various -ve return values indicate different errors, and errormsg
will be changed to an error description if it's not NULL.
Convert to use getline() instead of fgets() whenever reading user input
to ensure that an overly long input line doesn't leave excess characters
for the next input operation to accidentally use as input.
Zero out the password & account after we've finished with it.
Consistently use getpass(3) (i.e, character echo suppressed) when
reading the account data. For some reason, historically the "login"
code suppressed echo for Account: yet the "user" command did not!
Display the hostname in the "getaddrinfo failed" warning.
Appease some -Wcast-qual warnings. Fixing all of these requires
significant code refactoring. (mmm, legacy code).

- Add (also commented out) options BUFQ_PRIOCSCAN.
Suggested by perry and soda on tech-kern.

cast one of them before assigning to a common function pointer.
Yes, this breaks strict type checking, but is needed to compile with
-Wcast-qual turned on.
this is currently turned off with "#ifdef notyet" since the
kernel will not correctly clean up extended attribute blocks on truncation
