Log:
libc: remove gets
gets is unsafe and shouldn't be used (for many years now). Leave it in
the existing symbol version so anything that previously linked aginst it
still runs, but do not allow new software to link against it.
(The compatability/legacy implementation must not be static so that
the symbol and in particular the compat sym gets@FBSD_1.0 make it
into libc.)

This breaks <stdio.h> for most old standards, and bogotitifies the ifdefs
that attempt to support old standards. <stdio.h> used to be more careful
with these ifdefs than most system headers.
C11 removed gets(), but POSIX.1-2017 (Issue 7) still has it (marked as
obsolescent). Thus this change breaks support for all versions of POSIX.
