Pullreq libc libnx updates

* NuttX: make strerror() return 'Success' for 0

* NuttX: fix strrchr() so that it considers null terminator as part of string

    From strrchr(3) man page:
    "The terminating null byte is considered part of the string, so that if c
    is specified as '\0', these functions return a pointer to the terminator."

* NuttX: mm_free(): Add DEBUGASSERT()'s to catch memory corruption early.

    It's easier to find the source when asserts fail already when freeing
    an overflowed buffer, than if the corruption is only detected on next
    malloc().

* MM_FILL_ALLOCATIONS: Add debug option to fill all mallocs()

    This is helpful for detecting uninitialized variables,
    especially in C++ code. I seem to be forgetting to initialize
    member variables and then they just get random values..

* NuttX: nxtk_bitmapwindow: Fix warning message when bitmap is fully off-screen.

* nxfonts_getfont: Avoid unnecessary warnings for other whitespace chars also.

* NuttX: Fix kerning of 'I' in Sans17x22 font

    The I character was running together with some other
    characters, e.g. in sequence "IMI".

* NXMU: Revalidate window pointer for mouse events.

    NXMU caches the previous window pointer so that further mouse
    events can be sent to the same window. However, if the window
    is destroyed while mouse button is held down, the pointer may
    become invalid and cause a crash. This patch revalidates the
    pointer before using it.

README
======

This directory holds NuttX libraries.  Libraries in NuttX are very special
creatures.  The have these properties:

1. They can be shared by both application logic and logic within the OS when
   using the FLAT build.

2. But in PROTECTED and KERNEL modes, they must be built differently:  The
   copies used by applications and the OS cannot be the same.  Rather,
   separate versions of libraries must be built for the kernel and for
   applications.

3. When used by the OS, some special care must be taken to assure that the
   OS logic does not disrupt the user's errno value and that the OS does
   not create inappropriate cancellation points.

   For example, sem_wait() is both a cancellation point and modifies the
   errno value.  So within the FLAT build and without kernel version for
   the PROTECTED and KERNEL builds, the special internal OS interface
   nxsem_wait() must be used.  Within libraries, the macro  _SEM_WAIT()
   (as defined in include/nuttx/semaphore.h) is used instead.  The
   definition of this macro accounts for the different usage environments.

NOTE:  The libraries under libs/ build differently from other NuttX
components:  There are no build-related files in the libs/ directory; it
is simply a container for other well-known, individual library directories.
The upper level Makefile logic is aware of the libraries within the libs/
container.

The only real function of the libs/ directory is to prevent the top-level
directory from becoming cluttered with individual libraries.
