string: Add strerrorname_np and strerrordesc_np
The strerrorname_np returns error number name (e.g. "EINVAL" for EINVAL)
while strerrordesc_np returns string describing error number (e.g
"Invalid argument" for EINVAL). Different than strerror,
strerrordesc_np does not attempt to translate the return description,
both functions return NULL for an invalid error number.
They should be used instead of sys_errlist and sys_nerr, both are
thread and async-signal safe. These functions are GNU extensions.
Checked on x86-64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
and s390x-linux-gnu.
