This series adds `strtok()`, and its reentrant variant to the list of banned functions.
The rationale is described in the final patch, but the gist is that even though `strtok_r()` is thread-safe, it imposes a burden on the caller and has confusing dataflow. For more details, the final patch has a full explanation.
The series is structured as follows:
- The first patch introduces `string_list_split_in_place_multi()`,
which allows us to split token delimited strings in place where
the set of accepted tokens is more than a single character. - The next three patches replace the only in-tree uses of strtok() we
have, which are all in test helpers.- The final patch marks the two functions as banned.
Thanks in advance for your review!
