When sorting, both the C11 standard (ISO/IEC 9899:2011, K.3.6.3.2) and
the ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22 WG14 N1172 standard, does not define objects of
zero size as undefined behaviour. However Microsoft's cpp-docs does.
Add proper checks for this. Found while working on bsort(3).

glibc-based interface.
Unfortunately, the glibc maintainers, despite knowing the existence
of the FreeBSD qsort_r(3) interface in 2004 and refused to add the
same interface to glibc based on grounds of the lack of standardization
and portability concerns, has decided it was a good idea to introduce
their own qsort_r(3) interface in 2007 as a GNU extension with a
slightly different and incompatible interface.
With the adoption of their interface as POSIX standard, let's switch
to the same prototype, there is no need to remain incompatible.
C++ and C applications written for the historical FreeBSD interface
get source level compatibility when building in C++ mode, or when
building with a C compiler with C11 generics support, provided that
the caller passes a fifth parameter of qsort_r() that exactly matches
the historical FreeBSD comparator function pointer type and does not
redefine the historical qsort_r(3) prototype in their source code.
Symbol versioning is used to keep old binaries working.

- Remove unused #include.
- Do not cast away const.
- Use the canonical idiom to compare two numbers.
- Use proper type for sizes, i.e. size_t instead of int.
- Correct indentation.
- Simplify printf("\n") to puts("").
- Use return instead of exit() in main().

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.
