[Bug libc/9759] New: declarations of scandir, alphasort not POSIX compliant

[bruno at clisp dot org]

The function prototypes of scandir(), alphasort() are specified by
POSIX:2008 here:
  http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/scandir.html

The function prototypes in glibc's <dirent.h> don't agree with this:
  - The arguments of alphasort should be of type 'const struct dirent **',
    not 'const void *'.
  - The last argument of scandir should be of type
    'int (*)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)',
    not 'int (*)(const void *, const void *)'.
