58098575e7 Audit cp() in libutil
1) Rename cp_HLPflag -> cp_follow for consistency.
2) Use function-pointers for stat to clear up the code.
3) BUGFIX: TERMINATE THE RESULT BUFFER OF READLINK !!!
   It's something I noticed earlier and it actually lead to some
   pretty insane behaviour on our side using glibc (musl somehow
   magically solves this).
   Basically, symlinks used to contain the data of the file they
   pointed to. I wondered for weeks where this came from and now
   this has finally been solved.
4) BUGFIX: Do not unconditionally unlink target-files. Even GNU
   coreutils do it wrong.
   The basic idea is this:
   If fflag == 0 --> don't touch target files if they exist.
   If fflag == 1 --> unlink all and don't error out when we try
                     to unlink a file which doesn't exist.
5) Use estrlcpy and estrlcat instead of snprintf for path building.
6) Make it clearer what happens in preserve.

3111908b03 Refactor recurse() again
Okay, why yet another recurse()-refactor?
The last one added the recursor-struct, which simplified things
on the user-end, but there was still one thing that bugged me a lot:
Previously, all fn()'s were forced to (l)stat the paths themselves.
This does not work well when you try to keep up with H-, L- and P-
flags at the same time, as each utility-function would have to set
the right function-pointer for (l)stat every single time.

This is not desirable. Furthermore, recurse should be easy to use
and not involve trouble finding the right (l)stat-function to do it
right.
So, what we needed was a stat-argument for each fn(), so it is
directly accessible. This was impossible to do though when the
fn()'s are still directly called by the programs to "start" the
recurse.
Thus, the fundamental change is to make recurse() the function to
go, while designing the fn()'s in a way they can "live" with st
being NULL (we don't want a null-pointer-deref).

What you can see in this commit is the result of this work. Why
all this trouble instead of using nftw?
The special thing about recurse() is that you tell the function
when to recurse() in your fn(). You don't need special flags to
tell nftw() to skip the subtree, just to give an example.

The only single downside to this is that now, you are not allowed
to unconditionally call recurse() from your fn(). It has to be
a directory.
However, that is a cost I think is easily weighed up by the
advantages.

Another thing is the history: I added a procedure at the end of
the outmost recurse to free the history. This way we don't leak
memory.

A simple optimization on the side:

-		if (h->dev == st.st_dev && h->ino == st.st_ino)
+		if (h->ino == st.st_ino && h->dev == st.st_dev)

First compare the likely difference in inode-numbers instead of
checking the unlikely condition that the device-numbers are
different.

9fd4a745f8 Add history and config-struct to recurse
For loop detection, a history is mandatory. In the process of also
adding a flexible struct to recurse, the recurse-definition was moved
to fs.h.
The motivation behind the struct is to allow easy extensions to the
recurse-function without having to change the prototypes of all
functions in the process.
Adding flags is really simple as well now.

Using the recursor-struct, it's also easier to see which defaults
apply to a program (for instance, which type of follow, ...).

Another change was to add proper stat-lstat-usage in recurse. It
was wrong before.

01de5df8e6 Audit du(1) and refactor recurse()
While auditing du(1) I realized that there's no way the over 100 lines
of procedures in du() would pass the audit.
Instead, I decided to rewrite this section using recurse() from libutil.
However, the issue was that you'd need some kind of payload to count
the number of bytes in the subdirectories and use them in the higher
hierarchies.
The solution is to add a "void *data" data pointer to each recurse-
function-prototype, which we might also be able to use in other
recurse-applications.
recurse() itself had to be augmented with a recurse_samedev-flag, which
basically prevents recurse from leaving the current device.

Now, let's take a closer look at the audit:
1) Removing the now unnecessary util-functions push, pop, xrealpath,
   rename print() to printpath(), localize some global variables.
2) Only pass the block count to nblks instead of the entire stat-
   pointer.
3) Fix estrtonum to use the minimum of LLONG_MAX and SIZE_MAX.
4) Use idiomatic argv+argc-loop
5) Report proper exit-status.

8dc92fbd6c Refactor enmasse() and recurse() to reflect depth
The HLP-changes to sbase have been a great addition of functionality,
but they kind of "polluted" the enmasse() and recurse() prototypes.
As this will come in handy in the future, knowing at which "depth"
you are inside a recursing function is an important functionality.

Instead of having a special HLP-flag passed to enmasse, each sub-
function needs to provide it on its own and can calculate results
based on the current depth (for instance, 'H' implies 'P' at
depth > 0).
A special case is recurse(), because it actually depends on the
follow-type. A new flag "recurse_follow" brings consistency into
what used to be spread across different naming conventions (fflag,
HLP_flag, ...).

This also fixes numerous bugs with the behaviour of HLP in the
tools using it.

e14e0becce cp: Rename -d option to -P
The -d option is a GNU extension and is equivalent to its "-P
--preserve=links" options.

Since we don't implement the --preserve=links functionality anyway (it
means preserve hard links between files), just call it -P, which is
specified by POSIX.

Additionally, there is no need to check for cp_Pflag again before
copying the symlink itself because the only way the mode in the stat
will indicate a symlink is if we used lstat (which we only do if -P is
specified).

ec8246bbc6 Un-boolify sbase
It actually makes the binaries smaller, the code easier to read
(gems like "val == true", "val == false" are gone) and actually
predictable in the sense of that we actually know what we're
working with (one bitwise operator was quite adventurous and
should now be fixed).

This is also more consistent with the other suckless projects
around which don't use boolean types.
