'RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 4.2-RELEASE image.
Releases prior to 5.3-RELEASE are omitting the secure/ and crypto/ subdirs.

Simplify sytem call renaming. Instead of _foo() <-- _libc_foo <-- foo(),

just use _foo() <-- foo().  In the case of a libpthread that doesn't do
call conversion (such as linuxthreads and our upcoming libpthread), this
is adequate.  In the case of libc_r, we still need three names, which are
now _thread_sys_foo() <-- _foo() <-- foo().

Convert all internal libc usage of: aio_suspend(), close(), fsync(), msync(),
nanosleep(), open(), fcntl(), read(), and write() to _foo() instead of foo().

Remove all internal libc usage of: creat(), pause(), sleep(), system(),
tcdrain(), wait(), and waitpid().

Make thread cancellation fully POSIX-compliant.

points.  For library functions, the pattern is __sleep() <--
_libc_sleep() <-- sleep().  The arrows represent weak aliases.  For
system calls, the pattern is _read() <-- _libc_read() <-- read().

Add arc4random() functions from OpenBSD. They are almost same as our

srandomdev(), but can be used inside libraries. random() can't be used
inside libraries because it breaks its possible predictable sequence.
arc4random() is true random as designed, so its usage is library-safe.
