This is with mostly minor documentation and test updates, nothing
spectacular except for removal of funky lstat(2) emulation on Cygwin.

Performance, Internal Implementation, etc.

* On Cygwin, we used to use our own lstat(2) emulation that is
allegedly faster than the platform one in codepaths where some of
the information it returns did not matter, but it started to bite
us in a few codepaths where the trick it uses to cheat does show
breakages. This emulation has been removed and we use the native
lstat(2) emulation supplied by Cygwin now.

* The function attributes extensions are used to catch mistakes in
use of our own variadic functions that use NULL sentinel at the end
(i.e. like execl(3)) and format strings (i.e. like printf(3)).
