Changes since 7.1.16

• In v_event_get check qp->output for NULL before passing to e_memcmp(); other users of qp->output already include a NULL check; avoids a crash when cursor key support is disabled in cl/cl_term.c; from Jeremy Mates; ok tb@
• Check tkp->output != NULL before taking strlen for both command mappings and input mappings; this adds a missing check for command mappings and simplifies the input mappings; ok millert@
• From upstream man page, add missing comma; ok jmc@
• Update documentation
• Document that PCC (Portable C Compiler) is working
• Add a BSD make wrapper that calls gmake if available
• Add OpenBSD basename functionality for use with xinstall
• Simplify compatibility headers
• Make sstrip target depend on the strip target, since many platforms do not support all the sstrip options, so still stripping as much as is possible is the most user-friendly thing to try.
• Add support for Solaris; tested on Oracle Solaris 11.4.0 with GCC, Clang (V6+), and the Oracle Developer Studio V12.6 compiler.
• Add support for illumos; tested on OpenIndiana Hipster 2022.03
• Add support for NetBSD; tested on NetBSD/amd64 9.2-stable with the system provided GCC and Clang from binary packages; compiling CC=clang LTO=1 requires the LLVM LLD linker ld.lld installed
• Add support for IBM AIX 7+; tested on IBM AIX 7.2 and IBM AIX 7.3 with GNU GCC (8, 9, 10, 11), IBM XL C/C++ V16.1+ (gxlc, xlclang), and IBM Open XL C/C++ V17.1+ using ncurses from IBM's AIX Toolbox; AIX builds default to 64-bit (on 64-bit systems) when using a supported compiler; the environment variable MAIXBITS can be set to 32 or 64 to force compilation of a 32-bit or 64-bit binary
• Various portability improvements (portable BSD getopt, warn, etc.)
• Reorganize source tree to better separate logical components
• WCOREDUMP is not in POSIX.1-2008, so don't require it to build
• Similarly, check if TIOCSCTTY is available and don't require it
• Add xinstall, a BSD install utility based on OpenBSD install(1)
• Switch vfork to fork as vfork is now gone from POSIX.1-2008
• Clear pointer after ending screen for safety
• README.md, documentation, and man page corrections and improvements
• Apply expandtab to lines filtered with the ! command, via nvi2
