Check for chmod, hardlink, symlink, and special character support to
prevent test suite failures in feature constrained environments.
Thanks to Bruno Haible and Nelson H. F. Beebe for their testing and
analysis.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Add new feature tests.
* tests/hardlinks: Split this hardlinks related test off from
tests/remember-backup-files.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add new hardlinks test here.
* tests/file-create-modes, tests/file-modes, tests/read-only-files,
tests/preserve-mode-and-timestamp, tests/no-mode-change-git-diff: These
tests require chmod support.
* tests/hardlinks, tests/unmodified-files: These tests require hardlink
support.
* tests/symlinks: This test requires symlink support.
* tests/quoted-filenames: This test requires special character support
in filenames.
Switch to single intervals for FSF notices,
and consistently put them first.
Update copyright notices for 2024.
* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Use UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_FORCE=1,
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2.
* patch.man: Always use \(co, so that update-copyright
updates these dates.
* src/version.c: Correct Larry Wall copyright years.
eval is not some sort of magical sandbox for executing code that might cause
the shell's parser to take exception. Render the test resilient by carrying
it out within a subshell. While at it, position the redirection so that
STDERR is, in fact, muted.

Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/738810
* tests/crlf-handling, tests/git-cleanup, tests/test-lib.sh: Use printf
instead of echo -e / echo -n for compatibility with systems that don't
support these echo options.
* tests/merge: Minor other cleanups.
Since the code is identical when just checking if a utility is present on
the system or not, we can factorize it.

With these changes, "make sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao" almost passes.
Uses of "test -o" remain.
Note: unchecked uses of test -ot/-nt also remain.
* tests/empty-files: Use "test C1 && test C2", not "test C1 -a C2"
* tests/merge: Likewise.
* tests/symlinks: Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Likewise.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Flag tests with missing pre-requirements as
SKIPped instead of PASSed. Do not use GNU diff extensions, but
still require a diff that understands "-u".
* tests: Do not unnecessarily require GNU diff in a lot of tests.
Make the sed utility optional.
* configure.ac: Add automake and gnulib macros, replace several
obsolete macros.
* Makefile.am, lib/Makefile.am, src/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am:
Add for automake.
* autogen.sh, INSTALL, Makefile.in, mkinstalldirs, update-version.sh:
Obsolete; remove.
* README-hacking: Import from diffutils, replace cvs with git.
* build-aux: Move gnulib auxiliary files here from the top-level
directory.
* gnulib: Add gnulib git submodule.
* bootstrap, bootstrap.conf: Import from gnulib and adjust.
* gl/lib: Remove gnulib files from the repository; they are now
imported into lib/ from gnulib as needed.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Use $abs_top_builddir exported from
tests/Makefile.am here instead of $PWD.
* m4/utimbuf.m4: This macro has been removed from gnulib. Add it here
for now; this will be replaced by gnulib's utimens module soon.
* tests/test-lib.sh: Unset environment variables that influence
the behavior of patch.
* util.c (move_file): Add debug message when files have been seen
already. Fix leftover "empty uneadable" debug message.
