Bruno Haible 88592a2880 strerror: Detect invalid writes to the returned string in some cases.
* lib/string.in.h (strerror): Change the return type to 'const char *'.
(GNULIB_defined_strerror): New macro.
* lib/strerror.c (strerror): Change the return type to 'const char *'.
* lib/strerror_l.c (errno_string_callback): Change a variable from
'char *' to 'const char *'.
* lib/strerror_r.c (strerror_r): Likewise.
* doc/posix-functions/strerror.texi: Document that Gnulib uses the
return type 'const char *'.
* NEWS: Mention the change.
* m4/perror.m4 (gl_FUNC_PERROR): Change a variable from 'char *' to
'const char *'.
* m4/strerror.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_0): Likewise.
* m4/strerror_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R_WORKS): Likewise.
* tests/test-strerror.c (strerror): Update expected signature.
(main): Change a variable from 'char *' to 'const char *'.

dnl issues, and perror is just fine. Rather, we only want to
