The reallocarray() primitive is only provided by the malloc-standard
implementation: neither malloc nor malloc-simple provide it. This
causes issues when building for example util-linux on noMMU platforms
as:

- noMMU platforms can't use malloc-standard, so either malloc or
  malloc-simple are used, which means reallocarray() is not
  implemented

- util-linux detects the absence of reallocarray(), and provides its
  own implementation, but the prototype clashes with the prototype in
  uClibc's <stdlib.h>

The combination of which causes the following build failure:

In file included from lib/color-names.c:7:
./include/c.h:586:21: error: static declaration of ‘reallocarray’ follows 
non-static declaration
  586 | static inline void *reallocarray(void *ptr, size_t nmemb, size_t size)

      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:12354: lib/libtcolors_la-color-names.lo] Error 1

To fix this, let's not expose the prototype of reallocarray() if we
don't provide the implementation for it.
