Jim Warner 8f1fb67a78 library: <MEMINFO> api, changed that 'get' return type
The following commit message is shared with 4 patches.
------------------------------------------------------

Under the newlib interface most of our 'get' functions
represent a bit of a compromise in that the actual raw
values are coerced into one (probably ok) return type.

That approach creates the possibility of truncation at
best, and wouldn't serve future needs should something
other than numeric data be added to the 'get' results.

This commit trades the current compromise for a return
value guaranteed to satisfy all future needs, namely a
pointer to a particular api's specific results struct.

The impact on existing programs is minimal, especially
when using a new supplied macro. Otherwise, native 'C'
syntax could be used, but may feel somewhat unnatural.

[ as an aside, this new approach allows us to delete ]
[ all 'getsfunc' table entries & the supporting code ]
