Use of these macros, apart from the benefits mentioned in the commit
that adds the macros, has some other good side effects:
- Consistency in getting the size of the object from sizeof(type),
instead of a mix of sizeof(type) sometimes and sizeof(*p) other
times.
- More readable code: no casts, and no sizeof(), so also shorter lines
that we don't need to cut.
- Consistency in using array allocation calls for allocations of arrays
of objects, even when the object size is 1.

- Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.
- Every pointer converts automatically to void *.
- void * converts to any other pointer.
- const void * converts to any other const pointer.
- Integer variables convert to each other.
I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

It is Undefined Behavior to declare errno (see NOTES in its manual page).
Instead of using the errno dummy declaration, use one that doesn't need
a comment.

Closes#325
Add a new subid_init() function which can be used to specify the
stream on which error messages should be printed. (If you want to
get fancy you can redirect that to memory :) If subid_init() is
not called, use stderr. If NULL is passed, then /dev/null will
be used.
This patch also fixes up the 'Prog', which previously had to be
defined by any program linking against libsubid. Now, by default
in libsubid it will show (subid). Once subid_init() is called,
it will use the first variable passed to subid_init().
