On a similar theme of separating the query operation from the
attempted change, backend_send() now no longer has the side effect of
returning the current size of the send buffer. Instead, you have to
call backend_sendbuffer() every time you want to know that.
This is the last of the subdirectory creations I had planned. This one
is almost too footling to bother with (it hardly declutters the top
level very much).
One useful side effect is that I've included testback.c (containing
the null and loopback backends) in the otherbackends library, which
means it will now actually be _compiled_ even when nothing's using it,
and we'll spot bit-rot promptly when internal APIs change.
(And, to prove the point, I've immediately had to fix some bit-rot.)
