glob: Simplify the interface for the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC callback gl_readdir
Previously, application code had to set up the d_namlen member if the target supported it, involving conditional compilation. After this change, glob will use the length of the string in d_name instead of d_namlen to determine the file name length. All glibc targets provide the d_type and d_ino members, and setting them as needed for gl_readdir is straightforward. Changing the behavior with regards to d_ino is left to a future cleanup. (cherry picked from commit 137fe72eca6923a00381a3ca9f0e7672c1f85e3f)

+ glob: Simplify and document the interface for the GLOB_ALTDIRFUNC
+ callback function gl_readdir.
+ * posix/glob.c (NAMELEN, CONVERT_D_NAMLEN): Remove.
+ (CONVERT_DIRENT_DIRENT64): Use strcpy instead of memcpy.
+ (glob_in_dir): Remove len. Use strdup instead of malloc and
+ memcpy to copy the name.
+ * manual/pattern.texi (Calling Glob): Document requirements for
+ implementations of the gl_readdir callback function.
+ * manual/examples/mkdirent.c: New example.
+ * posix/bug-glob2.c (my_readdir): Set d_ino to 1 unconditionally,
+ per the manual guidance.
+ * posix/tst-gnuglob.c (my_readdir): Likewise.
