[PATCH resent] uapi libc compat: allow non-glibc to opt out of uapi definitions

[Felix Janda <felix.janda@posteo.de>]

Currently, libc-compat.h detects inclusion of specific glibc headers,
and defines corresponding _UAPI_DEF_* macros, which in turn are used in
uapi headers to prevent definition of conflicting structures/constants.
There is no such detection for other c libraries, for them the
_UAPI_DEF_* macros are always defined as 1, and so none of the possibly
conflicting definitions are suppressed.

This patch enables non-glibc c libraries to request the suppression of
any specific interface by defining the corresponding _UAPI_DEF_* macro
as 0.

This patch together with the recent musl libc commit

http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/commit/?id=04983f2272382af92eb8f8838964ff944fbb8258

fixes the following compiler errors when <linux/in6.h> is included
after musl <netinet/in.h>:

./linux/in6.h:32:8: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'
./linux/in6.h:49:8: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6'
./linux/in6.h:59:8: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq'
