Fix memory handling in strxfrm_l [BZ #16009]
[Modified from the original email by Siddhesh Poyarekar] This patch solves bug #16009 by implementing an additional path in strxfrm that does not depend on caching the weight and rule indices. In detail the following changed: * The old main loop was factored out of strxfrm_l into the function do_xfrm_cached to be able to alternativly use the non-caching version do_xfrm. * strxfrm_l allocates a a fixed size array on the stack. If this is not sufficiant to store the weight and rule indices, the non-caching path is taken. As the cache size is not dependent on the input there can be no problems with integer overflows or stack allocations greater than __MAX_ALLOCA_CUTOFF. Note that malloc-ing is not possible because the definition of strxfrm does not allow an oom errorhandling. * The uncached path determines the weight and rule index for every char and for every pass again. * Passing all the locale data array by array resulted in very long parameter lists, so I introduced a structure that holds them. * Checking for zero src string has been moved a bit upwards, it is before the locale data initialization now. * To verify that the non-caching path works correct I added a test run to localedata/sort-test.sh & localedata/xfrm-test.c where all strings are patched up with spaces so that they are too large for the caching path.
