when files may have hard links to a a name that only differs by case
- change install to unconditionally remove its temporary file
when installing hard links with -r. This avoids problems when
built with posix rename(2) semantics and reinstalling an existing
hard link.
- rework hard link targets in bsd.man.mk and bsd.links.mk
to use makefile constructs instead of shell constructs
- always reinstall hard links that may have case conflicts, even
when MKUPDATE=yes, this ensures that they get added to METALOG
- remove man pages which were hard linked to themselves in libform
- remove improper hard link command for existing man page in libkrb5
- fix libl's makefile to include bsd.lib.mk at end
- remove shell quoting in link target for test's [.1 man page
overwritten. Old code would remove the file regardless of
whether the overwrite was successful or not.
New behaviour:
carpy: {12} touch moo ; chmod 444 moo
carpy: {13} ls
moo
carpy: {14} rm -P moo
rm: moo: -P was specified but file could not be overwritten
carpy: {15} ls
moo
carpy: {16}

Otherwise:
./sh -c 'x=" "; for a in $x; do echo a${a}a; done'
is processed as a single empty parameter (instead of no parameters).
Should fix the breakage I introdiced in rev 1.75 and PR/34256 and PR/34254
but does not check when strftime fails because the buffer is too small.
Our implementation of strftime does not NUL terminat the buffer
on failure (it does not have to; the results are undefined), so
garbage gets printed. Use a dynamically allocated buffer instead.
"-R" claims:
-R [...] Created directories have the same mode as the corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified
by the process' umask.
Make this actually true.
In addition, make '-P' (no symbolic links are followed) apply even if
'-R' is not specified. This allows users to overwrite symbolic links
with files and/or to copy symbolic links over a file without indirecting
through the link (ie a copy of a link turns the target into a link, not
a copy of the file pointed to by the source).
the earlier ones) so that a separator is added before it when it is empty.
This wasn't needed before a recent change that chenged the behaviour of
trailing whitespace IFS characters.
Fixed PR/33472
