this change makes it so most calls to fprintf(stderr, ...) will result
in a single writev syscall, as opposed to roughly 2*N syscalls (and
possibly more) where N is the number of format specifiers. in
principle we could use a much larger buffer, but it's best not to
increase the stack requirements too much. most messages are under 80
chars.

the biggest change in this commit is that stdio now uses readv to fill
the caller's buffer and the FILE buffer with a single syscall, and
likewise writev to flush the FILE buffer and write out the caller's
buffer in a single syscall.

making this change required fundamental architectural changes to
stdio, so i also made a number of other improvements in the process:

- the implementation no longer assumes that further io will fail
  following errors, and no longer blocks io when the error flag is set
  (though the latter could easily be changed back if desired)

- unbuffered mode is no longer implemented as a one-byte buffer. as a
  consequence, scanf unreading has to use ungetc, to the unget buffer
  has been enlarged to hold at least 2 wide characters.

- the FILE structure has been rearranged to maintain the locations of
  the fields that might be used in glibc getc/putc type macros, while
  shrinking the structure to save some space.

- error cases for fflush, fseek, etc. should be more correct.

- library-internal macros are used for getc_unlocked and putc_unlocked
  now, eliminating some ugly code duplication. __uflow and __overflow
  are no longer used anywhere but these macros. switch to read or
  write mode is also separated so the code can be better shared, e.g.
  with ungetc.

- lots of other small things.

sadly the C language does not specify any such implicit conversion, so
this is not a matter of just fixing warnings (as gcc treats it) but
actual errors. i would like to revisit a number of these changes and
possibly revise the types used to reduce the number of casts required.
