Mention the involved function instead of stating an implicit "this
function". Mention libbsd when proposing using an alternative libmd
to make the context clear.
When using the recent dlsym() based wrapper, we are not requiring any
symbol from libmd, as we resolve those dynamically at run-time. We were
ending up linking against libmd because in another part of the code we
require (depending on the architecture) the SHA512 functions for the
getentropy() local implementation. But that function might be provided
by the system libc on some systems, which means we end up not linking
against libmd at all.
To solve this we go back to the previous simpler solution of linking
directly, which had the main drawback of then making programs fail to
link when not specifying -lmd (on platforms that need it). And then
switch the .so link point from a symlink to a linker script, so that we
can inject the -lmd library as-needed. This is similar to what glibc is
doing.
Fixes: commit 31f034e386
To be able to rework the md5 deprecation logic, we need to detangle when
we depend on libmd due to requiring MD5 functions, which might be
otherwise provided by libc, or when we require SHA functions for the
internal getentropy() implementation.
The nlist() function is limited to handle ELF binaries of the same class
as size as the size_t of the architecture built.
In addition the SIZE_T_MAX macro is BSD specific, and was falling back
to the wrong constant on most 64-bit non-BSD systems.
Warned-by: gcc
Because some of the symbols are not otherwise referenced, GCC would like
to remove them.

Global asm statements (like .symver directives) do not work reliably
in gcc with link time optimization. Use the symver attribute introduced
with gcc-10 to set symbol versions instead, if available.

Detect as many warnings as possible during configure and enable them
if the user did not supply any, so that any such problem can be spotted
and fixed.
Switch from the previous versioned symbol implementation which required
users to also link against the message digest provider explicitly, or
they would fail to find the symbols, to an implementation that loads
the symbols from the linked library providing the functions using
dlsym(), thus preserving backwards compatibility.
Using various variables means we have to keep these in sync in various
places. Just use a single variable that we can use anywhere where this
is needed.
More important if close_range() is going to be used, since casting
negative values to 'unsigned int' might hide the errors.

Take most of the changes done in sudo, but preserve the existing local
changes and refactoring.
In addition, refactor pstat implementation into closefrom_pstat(), so
that the code is easier to read, and requires no conditional
declarations.
This brings <sys/queue.h> to the most up-to-date version from FreeBSD,
incorporating 18 commits from the past 5 years (2015-02-24 - 2021-01-25):
$ git log --oneline 9090a24aed70..8d55837dc133 sys/sys/queue.h share/man/man3/queue.3
Only minimal changes compared to the FreeBSD version have been applied
(queue.3 -> queue.3bsd, _LIBBSD_ prefix).
