Subject: C11 low-hanging fruit

Attached is a diff that adds the trivially-simple bits of C11. That is, 
those that require changes to the standard headers, but very little in 
the way of implementation. Included are:
  * stdalign.h , including backwards compatibility for GCC.
  * aligned_alloc
  * fopen(..., "...x")
  * conditional removal of gets

Excluded are:
  * threads.h (waiting to see glibc's ABI)
  * stdatomic.h (complicated, probably has ABI implications too, not 
even fully supported by GCC yet)
  * uchar.h (this is MOSTLY trivial since musl's wchar is Unicode 
anyway, but char32_t makes it a bit more than some weak aliases)
  * at_quick_exit, quick_exit (I suspect that our benevolent dictator 
will have a lot to say in exactly what makes an exit "quick" or not, so 
I'm not touching this)

I used __STDC_VERSION__ in the headers to control exposure of 
aligned_alloc and gets. aligned_alloc I additionally exposed with the 
non-standard feature test macro _ISOC11_SOURCE, for the simple reason 
that glibc does it; if you have a non-C11 compiler but C11 libc, 
-D_ISOC11_SOURCE is a much less gross way to get aligned_alloc than 
-D_GNU_SOURCE, anyway :)

With valediction,
  - Gregor Richards
