- error out when an unknown specifier is used. Do this in f_msgfmt(),
before dd(1) starts operation.
- allow buffer_write() to flush the internal buffer even when NULL is
passed as parameter.
Some whitespace fixes too.
output of the information summary returned by dd(1). This can be used
to specify messages in a more usable (or parseable) format like
human-readable values.
My intent is to re-use this for building image files and quick I/O
benchmarking.

if the block has moved, arrange so that trailing newlines are never placed in the string
in the first place, by accumulating them and adding them only after we've encountered a
non-newline character. This allows also for more efficient appending since we know how much
we need beforehand. From FreeBSD.
it will always be displayed when an unprivilegied user moves files across
filesystems (mv(1) uses cp -p in that case). After all, there is no warning
that we loose a setuid bit during a move or copy, so this makes sense.
Fixes bin/45259
Also introduce library functions for copying extended attributes from one
file to another:
- extattr_copy_file, extattr_copy_fd, extattr_copy_link, with FreeBSD style,
where a namespace is to be supplied
- cpxattr, fcpxattr, lcpxattr, with Linux style, where all namespaces
accessible to the caller are copied, and the others are silently ignored.
