1d28fbd6cf mv, cp: Preserve nanosecond timestamps
Otherwise, we run into problems in a typical autoconf-based build
system:

  - config.status is created at some point between two seconds.
  - config.status is run, generating Makefile by first writing to a file
    in /tmp, and then mv-ing it to Makefile.
  - If this mv happens before the beginning of the next second, Makefile
    will be created with the same tv_sec as config.status, but with
    tv_nsec = 0.
  - When make runs, it sees that Makefile is older than config.status,
    and re-runs config.status to generate Makefile.

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.

a68c2a9e6e Remove apathmax() and implicitly agetcwd()
pathconf() is just an insane interface to use. All sane operating-
systems set sane values for PATH_MAX. Due to the by-runtime-nature of
pathconf(), it actually weakens the programs depending on its values.

Given over 3 years it has still not been possible to implement a sane
and easy to use apathmax()-utility-function, and after discussing this
on IRC, we'll dump this garbage.

We are careful enough not to overflow PATH_MAX and even if, any user
is able to set another limit in config.mk if he so desires.

7d36a35649 Fix off-by-one in apathmax() as the path is relative to "/"
1) Use size_t * instead of long *
2) Fallback to PATH_MAX instead of BUFSIZ
3) Header cleanup

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).
