Clang issues a warning for double alias redirection, indicating that thei
original symbol is used even if a weak definition attempts to override it.
For instance, in the construction:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, external_impl);
#if SOMETHING
weak_alias (external_impl, another_external_impl)
#endif
Clang warns that another_external_impl always resolves to __internal_impl,
even if external_impl is a weak reference. Using the internal symbol for
both aliases resolves this warning.
This issue also occurs with certain libc_hidden_def usage:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, __internal_alias)
libc_hidden_weak (__internal_alias)
In this case, using a strong_alias is sufficient to avoid the warning
(since the alias is internal, there is no need to use a weak alias).
However, for the constructions like:
int __internal_impl (...) {}
weak_alias (__internal_impl, __internal_alias)
libc_hidden_def (__internal_alias)
weak_alias (__internal_impl, external_alias)
libc_hidden_def (external_alias)
Clang warns that the internal external_alias will always resolve to
__GI___internal_impl, even if a weak definition of __GI_internal_impl is
overridden. For this case, a new macro named static_weak_alias is used
to create a strong alias for SHARED, or a weak_alias otherwise.
With these changes, there is no need to check and enable the
-Wno-ignored-attributes suppression when using clang.
Checked with a build on affected ABIs, and a full check on aarch64,
armhf, i686, and x86_64.

In most cases the simple/stupid/builtin functions were in there to
benchmark optimized implementations against. Only in some cases the
functions are used to check expected results.
Remove these tests from IMPL() and only keep them in wherever they're
used for a specific purpose, e.g. to generate expected results.
This improves timing of `make subdirs=string` by over a minute and a
half (over 15%) on a Whiskey Lake laptop.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && 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.

We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date. Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.
Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions. These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.
The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively. These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

with less than 64 byte length.
- Strings starts with different alignments and cross page boundary with
fixed length.
