The unportable kludge once used to make the text of strings in
sys_errlst read-only and shared is unnecessary; the compiler now
supports a better way to do this (-R), so it's possible to de-kludge
the Makefile in /src/lib/libc/gen.

/src/lib/libc/gen/:errfix (the ed script) can also be deleted, since
it's no longer necessary.
