This patch does two things at once: it fixes the SEM_STAT index lookup in
semctl01, and it refactors the already-working shmctl01 to route through a
new shared libnewipc helper.

Would it be cleaner to split this into two patches, so each is one logical
change and bisects independently?

  1) introduce get_ipc_idx_from_id() in libs/newipc and convert shmctl01
     to use it (no behavior change);
  2) fix semctl01's SEM_STAT lookup on top of the new helper.

The semctl01 fix itself, the func_iinfo()/func_sstat() reworks, the
Makefile -lltpnewipc addition, and the kernel-doc on the new helper all
look correct.

Verdict - Needs revision
