With this change and CONFIG_GZIP_FAST=2, CONFIG_FEATURE_GZIP_LEVELS=y,
GNU gzip and BusyBox gzip now produce identical output at each compression
level (excluding 1..3, as BusyBox does not implement these levels).

This matches the behaviour of both GNU dc (as specified in
its man page), and BSD dc (where stack_popstring() pops
only if the head is a string.)
Add a couple of tests to verify this behavior.

catches all exceptions raised by expandarg(). Some exceptions, such as
the EXEXIT raised when command expansion is used, are expected:
export PS1='$(echo "$ ")'
These should be processed normally or the shell hangs at the prompt.

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

I noticed that the 'used' values from busybox free and
procps-ng free differed so I looked into why. It turns
out that procps-ng uses the "SReclaimable" value as
part of the cached value.
This was changed in
procps-ng commit 05d751c4f076a2f0118b914c5e51cfbb4762ad8e
