fbbd9655e5 Renumber copyright clause 4
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

7ea2450f42 Implement '-s' to copy as symlink, similar to the current -l link(2) handling.
This is also implemented in at least GNU coreutils cp.

While here also improve the '-l' handling to not open(2) the source file as
it does not actually need the descriptor.

f815125fbc Implement an "-x" option to cp(1), for compatibility with Linux and
feature parity with du(1) and similar:  When set, cp(1) will not traverse
mount points.

ba3fe6d1ab Make -r a synonym for -R, similar to behavior on Linux while being backwards
compatible with old -r behavior with regards to -L.  You can now copy fifos
and other special files with -r.

b931f9b350 In the hope of saving others from hours of tedious recovery work,
document that cp still isn't very useful for recursive copies even
with the -R flag.  This is because hard links are broken by cp.
