Proposal to restore traditional BSD behavior in <strings.h>.

I'd like to restore the traditional BSD behavior that <strings.h>
includes the content of <string.h> in addition to the BSD bcmp, et. al.
We changed our <strings.h> between 4.x and 5.x and now that we're at
5-STABLE I'm finding software that built fine on 4.x has an issue on 5.x.
