Deprecate unmaintainable uses of strncmp to implement abbreviations.
This commit replaces those with two new functions that simplify the code and produce warnings that the syntax is deprecated. A small number of sensible abbreviations may be explicitly added based on user feedback. There were previously three types of strncmp use in ipfw: - Most commonly, strncmp(av, "string", sizeof(av)) was used to allow av to match string or any shortened form of it. I have replaced this with a new function _substrcmp(av, "string") which returns 0 if av is a substring of "string", but emits a warning if av is not exactly "string". - The next type was two instances of strncmp(av, "by", 2) which allowed the abbreviation of bytes to "by", "byt", etc. Unfortunately, it also supported "bykHUygh&*g&*7*ui". I added a second new function _substrcmp2(av, "by", "bytes") which acts like the strncmp did, but complains if the user doesn't spell out the word "bytes". - There is also one correct use of strncmp to match "table(" which might have another token after it without a space. Since I changed all the lines anyway, I also fixed the treatment of strncmp's return as a boolean in many cases. I also modified a few strcmp cases as well to be fully consistent.
