build-sys: fix compilation with ncurses and uClibc or musl libc
Compiling util-linux with musl and uClibc-ng toolchains when wide-char
support is not enabled in ncurses results in compilation failures with
the following message:
error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
#define
wchar_t char
The problem occurs because util-linux #defines its own wchar_t (as char)
when configured without widechar support. This conflicts with definition
of wchar_t contained in stddef.h.
This error can be reproduced running "<toolchain-cc -o test test.c" with
the following test program:

If mtab support is disabled, disable ro/rw mtab checks
Commit f9906424 introduced a check that should prevent different information in
mtab and /proc/mounts. The check can require significant amount of time, and for
systems without mtab support it has no sense.
Execute this code only on systems with mtab.
When a systems with large number of nodes (thousands) mount the filesystems
simultaneously, the time required for serialization causes the utimensat() to
take a large amount of time (tens of minutes) when a large number of nodes are
simultaneously updating the timestamp.

The alignment is evaluated in the order: right, center, left. The
default is left.

findmnt: error on --target /non-exist
The original --target implementation (< v2.27) has been based on
stat(), so it was usable for valid paths only.
The new implementation is based on search in the mountinfo file, so it
works for arbitrary crazy path. This is not backwardly compatible and
if the path does not exist then it still returns at least root
directory mount entry.
This patch forces mnt_table_find_mountpoint() to check if the path is
valid before we search in the mountinfo file.

And then end_it() cleanup function may be executed by signal handler

This is trivially demonstrable:
$ sleep 100 &

$ renice -n 5 24322
24322 (process ID) old priority 0, new priority 5
$ renice -n 10 24322

just kill this text.

docs: renice(1): Rework discussion of unprivileged users,
The BUGS section describing the limitations on what an unprivileged
user may do to the nice value is outdated, given the kernel changes
that added RLIMIT_NICE in Linux 2.6.12. So, remove that text.
The revised details for modern Linux were partially covered in NOTES,
but there were also inaccuracies there (and the use of the word
"monotonically" was unneeded). In particular, the point is that
unprivileged users can only increase the nice value. There is no
restriction particular to the range 0..+19. So, for example, the
following scenario is possible:
1. Superuser sets the nice value of an unprivileged user's
process to -20.
2. The unprivileged user can now renice that process to (say) -10.
