I considered trying to add it to bits/stdio_lim.h but I prefered this
approach for two reasons:

1) While sys_nerr is a good fit for stdio_lim, sys_errlist is not.
The way I've implemented it makes it obvious where to look.

2) I wanted a distinct file so that when the time comes to remove this
functionality from GNU/Linux that it's trivial to do so.

Tks,
