git-compat-util: avoid redefining system function names

Our git-compat-util header defines a few noop wrappers for system
functions if they are not available. This was originally done with a
macro, but in 15b52a4 (compat-util: type-check parameters of no-op
replacement functions, 2020-08-06) we switched to inline functions,
because it gives us basic type-checking.

This can cause compilation failures when the system _does_ declare those
functions but we choose not to use them, since the compiler will
complain about the redeclaration. This was seen in the real world when
compiling against certain builds of uclibc, which may leave
_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS unset, but still declare flockfile() and
funlockfile().

It can also be seen on any platform that has setitimer() if you choose
to compile without it (which plausibly could happen if the system
implementation is buggy). E.g., on Linux:

  $ make NO_SETITIMER=IWouldPreferNotTo git.o
      CC git.o
  In file included from builtin.h:4,
                   from git.c:1:
  git-compat-util.h:344:19: error: conflicting types for ‘setitimer’; have ‘int(int,  const struct itimerval *, struct itimerval *)’
    344 | static inline int setitimer(int which UNUSED,
        |                   ^~~~~~~~~
  In file included from git-compat-util.h:234:
  /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/time.h:155:12: note: previous declaration of ‘setitimer’ with type ‘int(__itimer_which_t,  const struct itimerval * restrict,  struct itimerval * restrict)’
    155 | extern int setitimer (__itimer_which_t __which,
        |            ^~~~~~~~~
  make: *** [Makefile:2714: git.o] Error 1

Here I think the compiler is complaining about the lack of "restrict"
annotations in our version, but even if we matched it completely (and
there is no way to match all platforms anyway), it would still complain
about a static declaration following a non-static one. Using macros
doesn't have this problem, because the C preprocessor rewrites the name
in our code before we hit this level of compilation.

One way to fix this would just be to revert most of 15b52a4. What we
really cared about there was catching build problems with
precompose_argv(), which most platforms _don't_ build, and which is our
custom function. So we could just switch the system wrappers back to
macros; most people build the real versions anyway, and they don't
change. So the extra type-checking isn't likely to catch bugs.

But with a little work, we can have our cake and eat it, too. If we
define the type-checking wrappers with a unique name, and then redirect
the system names to them with macros, we still get our type checking,
but without redeclaring the system function names.
