Michael Forney ea8622a4ce tail: Process bytes with -c option, and add -m option for runes
POSIX says that -c specifies a number of bytes, not characters. This
flag is commonly used by scripts that operate on binary files to things
like extract a header. Treating the offsets as character offsets will
break things in mysterious ways.

Instead, add a -m option (chosen to match `wc -m`, which also operates
on characters) to handle character offsets.

FRIGN e51a2e6d2f Use ISO-date-format in manpages
The one specified by mdoc is hard to read for non-native
speakers from countries which read the date day-first (like
Germany, Greece, North-Korea, Swamp,...).
This is also consistent with how we generally specify dates
at suckless.org.

FRIGN 57dc7b94b0 POSIX 2013 audit
Mostly manpage-shuffling according to the changes in the corrigendum,
wording changes and more idiomatic expressions.
All this is finished up by marking the POSIX 2013 conformant tools
with
.St -p1003.1-2013
which is not available in older mandoc builds or nroff, but which
reflects what we actually did, so who cares?

This is a huge step and it's not far until we can release sbase 0.1.

FRIGN 0f60227ea8 Remove judging word from head.1 and tail.1 as well
If it's obsolete, why include it?
No, the point here is that the ARGNUM-syntax has it's place among
us fellow neckbeards. Let's not degrade it.
