A function that returns with no value is a different thing from a
function that doesn't return at all. Those are two orthogonal
concepts, commonly confused.
pthread_create(3) expects a pointer to a start routine that has a
very precise prototype:
void *(*start_routine)(void *);
However, other thread functions, such as kernel ones, expect:
void (*start_routine)(void *);
Providing a different one is incorrect, and has only been working
because the ABIs happen to produce a compatible function.
We should use '_Noreturn void', since it's the natural type, and
then provide a '_Noreturn void *' wrapper for pthread functions.
For consistency, replace most cases of __NORETURN or
__attribute__((noreturn)) by _Noreturn. _Noreturn is understood
by -std=gnu89, so it should be safe to use everywhere.

A common usage pattern for zgenhostid, including in the ZFS dracut
module, is running it as:
zgenhostid $(hostid)
However, zgenhostid only accepted hostid arguments greater than 0, which
meant that, when the output of hostid(1) was "00000000", zgenhostid
would error out, even though 0 is a possible return value for the
gethostid(3) function used by hostid(1):
- On current musl libc, gethostid(3) is a stub that always returns 0.
- On glibc, gethostid(3) will return 0 if /etc/hostid exists but is
smaller than 4 bytes.
In these cases, it makes more sense for zgenhostid to treat a value of 0
as other parts of the zfs codebase do, meaning that a hostid value
couldn't be determined; therefore, it should attempt to generate a
random value to write into /etc/hostid.
The manpage and usage output have been updated to reflect this.
Whitespace has also been fixed in the usage output.

It was discovered that dracut scripts and zgenhostid
always generate little-endian /etc/hostid.
This commit provides simple endianess-aware binary
and updates the scripts to use it.
New features include:
-f flag to force overwrite.
-o flag to write to different file (for dracut)
accepting both 0x01234567 and 01234567 values as input
