This reverts commit e64ab3c675.
This was causing incorrect conversion of strings "0x..." to pointers on systems
like Solaris/ILLUMOS.
And as a side effect, buffers were sometimes empty in weechat relay clients
like glowing-bear.
Now the function utf8_next_char with an empty string returns NULL instead of
the next char, which is most of the time after an allocated buffer.
And the function utf8_char_size with an empty string now returns 0 instead of
1.
This indirectly fixes a buffer overflow in function eval_string_range_chars
when the input string is empty (for example when doing `/eval -n ${chars:}`).
Building WeeChat 4.6.0 on OpenBSD failed with the following error.

On further inspection, the line in question was recently altered in
099e11d7b8, where a comma was forgotten in the
else branch of the MULTIPLICITY ifdef.
After adding the comma, WeeChat builds as usual.
At the moment, building WeeChat triggers several thousand -Wstrict-prototypes
diagnostics. This is due to its source code using an empty argument list for
functions and function pointers that take no arguments, instead of explicitly
declaring that they take no arguments by using a void list.
This commit replaces all empty argument lists with a void list.
Note that Ruby's headers also suffer the same problem, which WeeChat can't
do anything to fix. Thus, building WeeChat with the Ruby plugin enabled
will still issue approximately 30 such diagnostics.
New default key:

- relay.api.remote_input_cmd_remote: text displayed for command executed on the

This follows the recommendation from Pythons documentation for
PyModule_GetDict where it says:
It is recommended extensions use other PyModule_* and PyObject_*
functions rather than directly manipulate a module’s __dict__.
This value determines the size of the per-module memory area. Setting
this value to -1 as it was before this change means that the module has
global state and therefore does not support subinterpreters.
However, subinterpreters are used to run the Python scripts, so the
weechat module has to support subinterpreters. Therefore we should set
this value to 0 as no per-module memory is required.
This seems to fix the crash reported in #2046 without the need for the
workaround added in commit 85c7494dc (it does for me when testing with
Python 3.12.0 at least).
This change came up as a suggestion in cpython's issue tracker where it
was pointed out that using modules with m_size set to -1 is not
supported in subinterpreters. See these two comments:
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2377915771https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/116510#issuecomment-2389485369
It's not completely clear to me what is required for a module to support
subinterpreters and re-initialization (which is required for setting
m_size to 0), but https://peps.pythondiscord.com/pep-0489/ says:
A simple rule of thumb is: Do not define any static data, except
built-in types with no mutable or user-settable class attributes.
The only static data we define is of type int and str, so I think it
should be fine.
