    There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils
    down to two main issues that sparse complains about:
    
     - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer
    
       Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good
       reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL
       pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a
       historical accident and not very pretty.
    
       A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0.
       I didn't touch those.
    
     - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static?
    
       Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack
       of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you
       should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope.
    
       A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just
       be made static.
    
    That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related
    flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by
    builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's
    not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in
    this patch.
