It's not enough to silence the address sanitizer. Also memory and
thread sanitizers would need to be silenced. They, at least currently,
aren't smart enough to see that the extra bytes are discarded from
the xmm registers by later instructions.
Valgrind is smarter, possibly because this kind of code isn't weird
to write in assembly. Agner Fog's optimizing_assembly.pdf even mentions
this idea of doing an aligned read and then discarding the extra
bytes. The sanitizers don't instrument assembly code but Valgrind
checks all code.
It's better to change the implementation to avoid the sanitization
attributes which also look scary in the code. (Somehow they can look
more scary than __asm__ which is implictly unsanitized.)

There is no need to make a similar change in configure.ac.
With Autoconf 2.72, the deprecated macro AC_PROG_CC_C99
is an alias for AC_PROG_CC which prefers a C11 compiler.
GCC 4.2 doesn't have __builtin_bswap16() and friends so tuklib_integer.h
tries to use OS-specific byte swap methods instead. On OpenBSD those
macros are swap16/32/64 instead of bswap16/32/64 like on other *BSDs
and Darwin.
An alternative to "#ifdef __OpenBSD__" could be "#ifdef swap16" as it
is a macro. But since OpenBSD seems to be a special case under this
special case of "*BSDs and Darwin", checking for __OpenBSD__ seems
the more conservative choice now.
Thanks to Christian Weisgerber and Brad Smith who both submitted
the same patch a few hours apart.

The C code is from Christian Weisgerber, I merely reordered the OSes.
Then I added the build system checks without testing them.
Also thanks to Brad Smith who submitted a similar patch on GitHub
a few hours after Christian had sent his via email.

This way the version string gets into xzgrep and other scripts
in full and also into liblzma.pc.
For the project() command, a suffixless string is required though.
liblzma_VERSION has never existed in the repository. xz_VERSION from
the project() command was used for liblzma SOVERSION so use xz_VERSION
here too.
The wrong variable did no harm in practice as PROJECT_VERSION
was used as the fallback. It has the same value as xz_VERSION.

This is a mess because liblzma DLL outside Cygwin and MSYS2
is liblzma.dll instead of lzma.dll to avoid a conflict with
lzma.dll from LZMA SDK.
On Cygwin the name was "liblzma-5.dll" while "cyglzma-5.dll"
would have been correct (and match what Libtool produces).
MSYS2 likely was broken too as it uses the "msys-" prefix.
This change has no effect with MinGW-w64 because with that
the "lib" prefix was correct already.
With MSVC builds this is a small breaking change that requires developers
to adjust the library name when linking against liblzma. The liblzma.dll
name is kept as is but the import library and static library are now
lzma.lib instead of liblzma.lib. This is helpful when using pkgconf
because "pkgconf --msvc-syntax --libs liblzma" outputs "lzma.lib"
(it's converted from "-llzma" in liblzma.pc). It would be easy to
keep the liblzma.lib naming but the pkgconf compatibility seems worth
it in the long run. The lzma.lib name is compatible with MinGW-w64
too as -llzma will find also lzma.lib.
vcpkg had been patching CMakeLists.txt this way since 2022 but I
learned this only recently. The reasoning for the patch makes sense,
and while this is a small breaking change with MSVC, it seems like
a decent compromise as it keeps the DLL name the same.

Thanks to Vincent Torri for confirming the naming issue on Cygwin.
The ancient /bin/tr on Solaris doesn't support '\n'.
With /usr/xpg4/bin/tr it works but it might not be in PATH.
Another problem was that sed was given input that didn't have a newline
at the end. Text files must end with a newline to be portable.
Fix both problems:
- Handle multiline input within sed itself to avoid one tr invocation.
The default sed even on Solaris does understand \n.
- Use octals in tr -d. \012 works for ASCII "line feed", it's even
used as an example in the Solaris man page. But we must strip
also ASCII "carriage return" \015 and EBCDIC "next line" \025.
The EBCDIC case got handled with \n previously. Stripping \012
and \015 on EBCDIC system won't matter as those control chars
won't be present in the string in the first place.
An awk-based solution could be an alternative but it might need
special casing on Solaris to used nawk instead of awk. The changes
in this commit are smaller and should have a smaller risk for
regressions. It's also possible that version.sh will be dropped
entirely at some point.
There's no real value in doing it via commit for official GH actions. We
can keep using pinned commits for unofficial actions. It's hassle for no
gain.
Maybe going forward we can limit this further by only being paranoid
for the jobs with any access to tokens.
Solaris' GCC can't understand that our use is fine, unlike modern compilers:
```
list.c: In function 'print_totals_basic':
list.c:1191:4: error: format not a string literal, argument types not checked [-Werror=format-nonliteral]
uint64_to_str(totals.files, 0));
^~~~~~~~~~~~~
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
```
It's presumably because of older gettext missing format attributes.
This is with `gcc (GCC) 7.3.0`.
In the past this wasn't done before releases; the Git repository
just contained the files from the Translation Project. But this
way it is clearer when comparing release tarballs against the
Git repository. In future releases this might no longer be necessary
within a stable branch as the .po files won't change so easily anymore
when creating a tarball.
When po/xz.pot doesn't exist, running "make" or "make dist" will
create it. Then the .po files will be updated but only if they
actually would change more than the POT-Creation-Date line.
Then the .gmo files would be generated from the .po files.
This is the case before and after this commit.
However, "make dist" and thus "make mydist" did a forced update
to the files, updating them even if the only change was the
POT-Creation-Date line. This had pros and cons: It made it clear
that the .po file really is in sync with the recent strings in
the package. On the other hand, it added noise in form of changed
files in the source tree and distribution tarballs. It can be
ignored with something like "diff -I'^"POT-Creation-Date: '" but
it's still a minor annoyance *if* there's not enough value in
having the most recent timestamp.
Setting DIST_DEPENDS_ON_UPDATE_PO = no means that such forced
update won't happen in "make dist" anymore. However, the "mydist"
target will use xz.pot-update target which is the same target that
is run when xz.pot doesn't exist at all yet. Thus "mydist" will
ensure that the translations are up to date, without noise from
changes that would affect only the POT-Creation-Date line.
Note that po4a always uses msgmerge with --update, so POT-Creation-Date
in the man page translations is never the only change in .po files.
In that sense this commit makes the message translations behave more
similarly to the man page translations.
Distribution tarballs will still have non-reproducible POT-Creation-Date
in po/xz.pot and po4a/xz-man.pot but those are just two files. Even they
could be made reproducible from a Git timestamp if desired.
The .po files from the Translation Project come with unwrapped
strings so this matches it.
This may reduce the noise in diffs too. When the beginning of
a paragraph had changed, the rest of the lines got rewrapped
in msgsid. Now it's just one very long line that changes when
a paragraph has been edited.
The --add-location=file option was removed as redundant. The line
numbers don't exist in the .pot file due to --porefs file and thus
they cannot get copied to the .po files either.
Names from git ls-files should be safe but if one runs it on
a tree without the .git dir and there are extra files, it's
safer to have the end of arguments marked with '--'.
This way the PO file diffs are less noisy but the locations of the
strings are still present at file level, just without line numbers.
The option is available since gettext 0.19 (2014).
configure.ac requires 0.19.6.
Since the source strings have changed, these would get marked as
fuzzy and the original string would be used instead. The original
and translated strings are identical in this case so it wouldn't
matter. But patching the translations helps still because then
po4a will show the correct translation percentage.
