op.h: Move bits around to allow for future growth

This creates an unallocated space at the shared/unshared boundary of the
data with regexp.h.  This allows any future bits that may be needed to
go into either, without affecting binary compatibility.  I chose a
number of spare bits larger than I thought we would ever need

This commit moves some bits in extflags around so that all the unallocated
ones are at the boundary between the unshared portion and the portion
shared with op.h.  This allows them to be allocated in the future to go
either way, without affecting binary compatibility at that time.

The high-order bits are unaffected, but the low order ones move to fill
the gap.

independently.

srand: change to return its seed

This commit changes srand to to return the seed instead of always
returning 1.  The motivation behind this is to allow applications to not
have to come up with their own pseudo-random generator if they want
repeatable results.

The previous return behavior has never been documented.  Note that it is
possible, but very unlikely, for the seed to end up being 0, which means
that if someone were relying on the undocumented previous behavior of
srand returning true, that in very rare instances it would return 0,
failing, and the next time they ran it, it would succeed, possibly
leading to puzzlement and very rare unexplained failures.
