Subject: [C23 const 1/2] C23: change bsearch to a macro that respects the const contract

This adds a macro interface to stdlib that has an additional cast of
the return value to `void const*` for the case that the argument to
the call was also const-qualified. Nothing changes for the function
itself, only the identifier has to be protected with (), such that the
macro does not expand for the function declaration or definition.
