util/nvmutil: portable default make rules
...
older compilers might not have -std for example.
the code is portable, but old compilers can't
compile with just "make", you have to add lots
of flags
i will now use "make strict" and "make hell"
in testing, but otherwise make without flags
are fine.
move the current strictness to command:
make strict
added an extra command:
make hell
hell uses -Weverything, and is useful with
clang's strict testing, on which i only got
a very small number of errors (it's way less
than a lot of programs would get with this
flag, because -Weverything is REALLY STRICT):
ja, mich nvmutil$ make hell CC=clang
clang -I. -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c90 -Os -Werror -Weverything nvmutil.c -o nvmutil

util/nvmuti: make fsync_dir() generic
...
yes, this begins the next phase of nvmutil:
remove global status in functions that should be
generic, and make functions that are not generic,
generic. make everything as re-useable in a library
as possible.
most of the program is error control, as it should
be, but much of it is mixed in with functions
that really should just be split up for libraries.
so that is what i'm now beginning.

util/nvmutil: more reliable fallback crypto
...
we assume the fallback will be rare, so now we
make the mix static and keep xoring it, on the
theory that the number of failures on urandom
will be random, and tthat the fallback may only
apply once or twice in thousands of calls.
the time jitter is adjusted; rather than judge
the difference between two points close to each
other in time, we judge tthe randomness in
difference of time elapsed. this mitigates fast
CPUs being very fast and introducing rounding
errors, and also improves performonce on much
slower CPUs
