I think it makes sense to have a consistent approach to obsoletion of
feature test macros that correspond to a subset of a supported feature.
Currently, that approach involves mapping the macro to the supported
superset feature.
_BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE now imply _DEFAULT_SOURCE (with a warning).
_REENTRANT and _THREAD_SAFE now imply _POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L, if no later
version of POSIX would otherwise have been used.
