Internal changes:

- python code is now reformatted with python black and checked with 
  flake8. That is also enforced by github actions.
- recently added C sources are now formatted with clang-format, and a 
  github action checks that those and new files are formatted as such.
- fix licensing issues of a few files.
- improve the build scripts.
- avoid non-reentrant libc functions.
- rework the internal include directories and split headers so that 
  each header has a clear function and place where it can (and cannot) 
  be used.
- reimport all linux headers and include missing headers that we use.
- add a github action to build against musl (on Alpine Linux).


For details, check the git history.


best,
Thomas
