The naming of the ctf_file_t type in libctf is a historical curiosity.
Back in the Solaris days, CTF dictionaries were originally generated as
a separate file and then (sometimes) merged into objects: hence the
datatype was named ctf_file_t, and known as a "CTF file". Nowadays, raw
CTF is essentially never written to a file on its own, and the datatype
changed name to a "CTF dictionary" years ago. So the term "CTF file"
refers to something that is never a file! This is at best confusing.
The type has also historically been known as a 'CTF container", which is
even more confusing now that we have CTF archives which are *also* a
sort of container (they contain CTF dictionaries), but which are never
referred to as containers in the source code.
So fix this by completing the renaming, renaming ctf_file_t to
ctf_dict_t throughout, and renaming those few functions that refer to
CTF files by name (keeping compatibility aliases) to refer to dicts
instead. Old users who still refer to ctf_file_t will see (harmless)
pointer-compatibility warnings at compile time, but the ABI is unchanged
(since C doesn't mangle names, and ctf_file_t was always an opaque type)
and things will still compile fine as long as -Werror is not specified.
All references to CTF containers and CTF files in the source code are
fixed to refer to CTF dicts instead.
Further (smaller) renamings of annoyingly-named functions to come, as
part of the process of souping up queries across whole archives at once
(needed for the function info and data object sections).

* libctf.ver: Add ctf_dict_close and ctf_parent_dict.
ctf_decl_sprintf builds up a formatted string in the ctf_decl_t's
cd_buf, but then on error this is hardly ever freed: we assume that
ctf_decl_fini frees it, but it leaks it instead.
Make it free it like any decent ADT should.
libctf/
* ctf-decl.c (ctf_decl_fini): Free the cd_buf.
(ctf_decl_buf): Once it escapes, don't try to free it later.
These just get in the way of auditing for erroneous usage of strdup and
add a huge irregular surface of "ctf_malloc or malloc? ctf_free or free?
ctf_strdup or strdup?"
ctf_malloc and ctf_free usage has not reliably matched up for many
years, if ever, making the whole game pointless.
Go back to malloc, free, and strdup like everyone else: while we're at
it, fix a bunch of places where we weren't properly checking for OOM.
This changes the interface of ctf_cuname_set and ctf_parent_name_set,
which could strdup but could not return errors (like ENOMEM).
New in v4.

Finally we get to the functions used to actually look up and enumerate
properties of types in a container (names, sizes, members, what type a
pointer or cv-qual references, determination of whether two types are
assignment-compatible, etc).
With a very few exceptions these do not work for types newly added via
ctf_add_*(): they only work on types in read-only containers, or types
added before the most recent call to ctf_update().
This also adds support for lookup of "variables" (string -> type ID
mappings) and for generation of C type names corresponding to a type ID.
