Feature: Add support for building under Android.
This is not well tested or well supported.
This does have limited testing under the Termux project environment using CLang.
Add a new configuration option to build and run the project in an Android environment.
The test system had problems with text relocations but then required PIE.
This disables the relro in some spots (libraries) while enabling it in others (programs/executables).
Disable a lot of the functions that are not available or supported.
I have observed several warnings about `DT_FLAGS_1=0x41` being unsupported flag.
That is not a very helpful warning.
I have no idea what `0x41` is.
This causes a problem where the output of programs displays these warnings.
This can break programs that require I/O formatting and processing.
This has been tested to build using `bootstrap.sh` and then using `fake`.
Example build and install process:
# mkdir ~/software
# cd fll-0.6.X/
# ./bootstrap.sh build -m monolithic -m thread -m clang -m android && ./install.sh ~/software
# cd ../fake-0.6.X/
# ./bootstrap.sh build -m monolithic -m thread -m clang -m android -w ~/software && ./install.sh ~/software
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/software/libraries/shared
# export PATH=~/software/programs/shared
# cd ../byte_dump-0.6.X/
# fake -m monolithic -m thread -m clang -m android -w ~/software && ./install.sh ~/software

Update: Implement Object alignment and trim expanding in FSS Read programs and restructure the program flags.
The program flags for the standard-specific functionality vs the program arguments were previously stored in the same bit space.
This breaks the two parts into the main program flags and the "feature" flags.
Implement support for new functionality where the Object structure can be optionally preserved.
Implement support for new functionality where the tabbing of the Object can be preserved, even when trimmed.
This is a step towards a "pretty print" mode that is more or less an "original print" mode.
The tabbing structure is now well preserved for standards like FSS Extended List (FSS-0003).
The Object alignment can determined from the Object close.
Use the `closes` structure to identify how the Object end is tabbed.
Then use that tabbing for the Object.
When trimming is enabled, still apply that tabbing.
This is done only for standards where such behavior makes sense.
The original print is now better preserved.
Printing an Object can now print the before and after Object characters (usually white space).
The trimming and original print may be used together to produce the results where the is no white space before or after the Object but everything else from the original source is preserved.
This combination of trim and original essentially ensure that the old behavior can be still produced.
I would further note that the processing of the FSS Embedded List (FSS-0008) Objects is not recursively performed.
No trimming or anything like that is applied at this time.
Only the selected depth is recursed into such that the Object and Content are processed.
I made this decision to keep the design as simple as possible.
Should I get the motivation and the time, then I may at some point in the future decided to recursively process and format all of the embedded structures.
I happened to notice duplicate and unused flags.
These are now removed.
Update the runtime tests accordingly.
Add new runtime tests to test the updated behavior.
I used the 0.6 and 0.7 to test these and I compared the results.
There is a discrepancy in some of 0.6 and 0.7 tests.

Update: The FSS-0002 and FSS-0003 standards, modifying the space after Object rules.
My previous changes did not alter the behavior of the standard.
I spent some time considering this and decied that I should make this change.
The new behavior is that white spaces after the last printable character (aka "graph" character) in a valid Object is no longer considered part of the Object.
I decided to do this because supporting the space after the Object but not the space before the Object is awkward and also makes Object name matching more difficult.
One of the pillars of this project is "human first".
Doing this change makes it easier for a human to use by relaxing the exactness of a match when it comes to white spaces before or after a valid Object.
The specifications specifically include optionally supporting untrimmed Objects that include the white space before or after the Object to help accommodate the previous behavior.
I do not want to add quote support in the Object names here to keep it simple.
This new behavior seems to be a good compromise.

Investigating this problem revealed that the comment handling code is failing to perform a range check.
The overflow is causing the stop range to point to some random memory address which is almost always larger than the file.
This results in the count being wrong.
This bug is a security concern.
Add the range check in all places where this range check is missing for the comments.
This is the back port of the improvement from the 0.7 development branch.
Adding the macro neither breaks API nor ABI.
Historically the step was always 3.
I found, over time, that increasing the step greatly to something like 128 could greatly reduce memory consumption and performance in many cases.
In the situation where a large number of small objects are allocated then this number like 128 becomes highly abusive.
The simple low allocation step will only allocate a single unit on the very first allocation.
If the next allocation is on an array that has a size greater than one and less than four (via the tiny define), then the step size is set to four during allocation.
If the next allocation is on an array that has a size greater than four and less than eight (via the small define), then the step size is set to eight during allocation.
If the next allocation is on an array that has a size greater than eight and less than sixty-four (via the large define), then the step size is set to sixty-four during allocation.
In all cases, if the request step is less than the calculated step, then the requested step is used.
For example, if the requested step is twelve, then after eight is allocation, then the next generated step size is twelve rather than sixty-four.

The "Control Block" and the "Size Block" have static sizes and positions, which should make it easy to identify the "Magic Block".
The third bit should be checked and then the "Magic Block" should be checked when trying to quickly identify the packet type via the "Magic Block".

Cleanup: Use proper closing context on print.
The closing context now matches the opening context.
The closing contexts are generally the same and so this is not a big deal.
This would only be a problem if the values of contexts where changed in some significant way.
The first/last code was backported in the past to make the scripts more forward-compatible.
I have decided to remove the first/last printing feature after significant testing and review.
The 0.7 development and later no longer has the first/last and so the backported code is no longer needed.
The problem is that in the case where the quote is already within a quoted string then it should not be escaped.
This only applies for the quote that would not be a valid closing quote.

Security: Potential buffer overflow on 0 length array.
The length_name_item variable can potentially be zero.
The assignment of "name_item[length_name_item] = 0;" will then result in an assignment on a 0 length array.

Update: Add experimental ctags generation and ctags file.
This is used by projects like geany.
Unfortunately, the code is terrible and the documentation is like rotten eggs.
They seem to somehow put hard-coded paths in the ctag files which makes absolute no sense.
Then, the geany project provides completely different ctag files that do not have this path nonsense.
The geany documentation does not relate to their actual ctag files and the ones provided by their example.
The Universal-ctags documentation, while having a lot of words, is misleading, awkward, and doesn't even describe how to get rid of these paths nor how to omit the paths.
Following the parts that does seem to read as if it means removing the path does absolutely not this.
The geany does not even import this file properly, despite the command coming directly from geany's documentation.
Using geany to generate this produces better results but also includes a lot of other junk that is unwanted.
It also includes the file paths.
Having the file paths makes these generated ctag files completely useless as it requires some other person to have the exact same absolute file path structure.
For now, attempt to strip out the absolute path using a sed command.

Cleanup: The OSLv1 license usage, fixing license reference.
The license should read "open-standard-license-1.0-or-later" rather than "open-standard-license-1.0".
The license file itself is already labelled this.
These files simply were not correctly updated.

Update: Add support for disable pthread mutex prioceiling for systems that do not support it.
The pthread mutex prioceiling and pthread mutex attr prioceiling functions are not supported on PostmarketOS for Pinephone.
The PostmarketOS for Pinephone is an A64 Arm system based on the Alpine Linux distribution.

Cleanup: Incorrect example in IKI specification.
The example in the iki.txt specification has several errors.
Of particular note is the first code is incorrectly escaped and the terminating single quote discludes the example block.
The Objects and Contents example results is entirely incorrect.
There is no change to the specification rules itself and I do not technically need to change the version.
However, given how long it has been incorrect I have decided to up the version date to make the correct file easier to identify.

Bugfix: Problematic handling of object files.
The object files are not being compiled correctly when performing a static build.
There may now be multiple object sources files which are now built individually.
The build object sources must be built without source code files.
The logic is relocated into a fake_build_library_static_object() function to build the object files.
These files are then included when static linking.
A new build stage is also added to accommodate this.
Building the objects should not include libraries linked.
Remove the logic that auto-adds the library linkage when building objects.
Break out the "path_sources" Object into multiple sub-parts:
- "path_sources_headers".
- "path_sources_library".
- "path_sources_object".
- "path_sources_program".
- "path_sources_script".
Update the documentation and specification files accordingly.
Add missing version dates to the specifications.
Update the bootstrap.sh script with these changes.
Fix incidental problems discovered in the bootstrap.sh script:
- Remove already compiled warning as it is not needed and is not exhaustive.
- Improve handling of directory detection and simplify the relating code.
- The built setting files are now being properly checked (a regression caused them to not be properly checked).
