    strerror_r: fix OpenBSD behavior on 0
    
    OpenBSD treats strerror_r(0,,) as a success, but with a message
    "Undefined error: 0"; while this is distinct from strerror_r(-1,,)
    returning "Unknown error: -1", it does not imply success.  Meanwhile,
    if buf is short enough for ERANGE, then we can't use strstr to look
    for "Unknown" or "Undefined" in the resulting message, like we had
    been doing for strerror().  Fix this by shifting the burden - now
    the strerror-override code guarantees that 0 will have an
    override when needed.
    
    * lib/strerror-override.c (strerror_override): Also override 0
    when needed.
    * lib/strerror-override.h (strerror_override): Likewise.
    * lib/strerror.c (strerror): Simplify, now that 0 override is done
    earlier.
    * lib/strerror_r.c (strerror_r): Likewise.
    * m4/strerror.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR): Split detection of 0
    behavior...
    (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_0): ...into new macro.
    * m4/strerror_r.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R): Replace strerror_r if 0
    is overridden.
    (gl_FUNC_STRERROR_R_WORKS): Avoid extra tests if 0 is broken.
    * modules/strerror-override (Files): Add strerror.m4.
    (configure.ac): Also provide override for 0 when needed.
    * doc/posix-functions/strerror.texi (strerror): Document this.
    * doc/posix-functions/perror.texi (perror): Likewise.
