Add _DEFAULT_SOURCE feature test macro.
This patch adds a feature test macro _DEFAULT_SOURCE to enable the default set of header declarations. The intention is: if _DEFAULT_SOURCE is not used there is no change to the set of __USE_* macros glibc defines; if it's used on its own, and without compiler options such as -std=c99 that define __STRICT_ANSI__, again, there is no change; if it's used together with the macros it approximately (i.e., apart from __USE_POSIX_IMPLICITLY) implies (-D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200809L), again, there is no change. Otherwise, it causes the relevant features to be enabled, even if __STRICT_ANSI__, or another feature test macro, would cause them to be disabled. This macro deliberately bundles the POSIX.1-2008 (non-X/Open) functionality with the BSD/SVID/"misc" functionality, rather than defining a macro that gives just the latter, as many of the header cleanups resulting from removing _BSD_SOURCE and _SVID_SOURCE support are only possible when BSD/SVID/"misc" is always bundled with POSIX.1-2008. Tested x86_64. * include/features.h: Update comment documenting feature test macros. Mention _DEFAULT_SOURCE in comment. [_GNU_SOURCE] (_DEFAULT_SOURCE): Undefine and redefine.

+@defvr Macro _DEFAULT_SOURCE
+If you define this macro, most features are included apart from
+X/Open, LFS and GNU extensions; the effect is similar to defining
+@code{_POSIX_C_SOURCE} to @code{200809L} and @code{_POSIX_SOURCE},
