The size_t is the type libc memory allocation functions use. The size_t
also provides allocation range that is enough not to a simple tool like this
to perform paranoia size checks. Just let the realloc(3) fail if there is
not enough memory available to handle the requested line size. That is a
lot more straightforward.

First two are are ISO/IEC 2022 graphic character sets G0 (normal) and G1
(alternative), that one has to Switch In (SI) and Switch Out (SO). The rest
are about how ul(1) is interacting with various text emphasis.

The #ifdef HAVE_WIDECHAR can be removed, because the command already is
using wide character functions elsewhere without fallbacks.

Consolidate --help and --version descriptions. We are
now able to align them to the other options.
We changed include/c.h. The rest of this patch was
generated by sed, plus manually setting the right
alignment numbers. We do not change anything but
white spaces in the --help output.

This patch is trivial and changes nothing, because
we were always using usage(stdout)
Now all our usage() functions look very similar. If wanted we
could auto-generate another big cosmetical patch to remove all
the useless "FILE *out" constants and use printf and puts
rather than their f* friends. Such patch could be automatically
synchronized with the translation project (newlines!) to not
make the translators sick.

(Original patch and commit message edited by Rudi.)
gcc-7 adds -Wimplicit-fallthrough=3 to our default flag -Wextra.
This warning can be silenced by using comment /* fallthrough */
which is also recognized by other tools like coverity. There are
also other valid comments (see man gcc-7) but we consolidate this
style now.
We could have also used __attribute__((fallthrough)) but the comment
looks nice and does not need to be ifdef'ed for compatibility.

The text-utility ul can run into a buffer overflow on very long lines.
See this proof of concept how to reproduce the issue:
$ dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M count=10 | tr '\000' '\041' > poc.txt
$ echo -ne '\xe\x5f\x8\x5f\x61\x2\xf\x5f\x8\x5f' | dd of=poc.txt conv=notrunc
$ ul -i poc.txt > /dev/null # output would take ages
Segmentation fault
$ _
The problem manifests by using alloca with "maxcol", which can be as
large as INT_MAX, based on the input line.
A very long line (> 8 MB) with modes must be supplied to ul, as seen in
my proof of concept byte sequence above.
It is rather easy to fix this issue: allocate space on the heap instead.
maxcol could overflow here, but in that case no system will have enough
space to handle the request, properly ending ul through an err() call.
