It turns out that units(1) is not as horrible to use in scripts
as I initially thought. When the --terse flag is combined
with an appropriate output format (set via --output-format),
units(1) is actually capable of producing very nice results.
For example:
units -o %0.f -t '4 gigabytes' bytes
is is just going to print out the expected value of 4294967296.
There is no time to waste. People have to know about it.
I am adding an example for this at the top of the examples section
because this is what users are most likely looking for.

Changes to units.1:
- Change the description to a more descriptive "conversion calculator".
- Sort options.
- Split the description into sections to make it easier to navigate the
manual page.
- Improve the description of various options.
- Document the default value of the output format.
- Use more mdoc macros for better readability.
- Document the behavior of the PATH environmental variable.
- Improve examples.
- Add sections: EXIT STATUS, DIAGNOSTICS, and HISTORY.
- Document that units(1) cannot convert negative values and it handles long
unit lists poorly.
- Update the documentation of the -V flag to match the implementation.
units(1) prints its version and the units data file instead of its
version and usage information.
Changes to units.c:
- Update usage information.
- Sort longopts elements.
This commit does not attempts to change the current behavior of units(1).
What's left to do is probably defining a better versioning (at the moment
units(1) always reports "FreeBSD units" as its version) and changing the
behavior of the -V flag to only print version.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Non-tests/... changes:
- Add HAS_TESTS= to Makefiles with libraries and programs to enable iteration
and propagate the appropriate environment down to *.test.mk.
tests/... changes:
- Add appropriate support Makefile.inc's to set HAS_TESTS in a minimal manner,
since tests/... is a special subdirectory tree compared to the others.

Summary of changes:
- Replace all instances of FILES/TESTS with ${PACKAGE}FILES. This ensures that
namespacing is kept with FILES appropriately, and that this shouldn't need
to be repeated if the namespace changes -- only the definition of PACKAGE
needs to be changed
- Allow PACKAGE to be overridden by callers instead of forcing it to always be
`tests`. In the event we get to the point where things can be split up
enough in the base system, it would make more sense to group the tests
with the blocks they're a part of, e.g. byacc with byacc-tests, etc
- Remove PACKAGE definitions where possible, i.e. where FILES wasn't used
previously.
- Remove unnecessary TESTSPACKAGE definitions; this has been elided into
bsd.tests.mk
- Remove unnecessary BINDIRs used previously with ${PACKAGE}FILES;
${PACKAGE}FILESDIR is now automatically defined in bsd.test.mk.
- Fix installation of files under data/ subdirectories in lib/libc/tests/hash
and lib/libc/tests/net/getaddrinfo
- Remove unnecessary .include <bsd.own.mk>s (some opportunistic cleanup)
Document the proposed changes in share/examples/tests/tests/... via examples
so it's clear that ${PACKAGES}FILES is the suggested way forward in terms of
replacing FILES. share/mk/bsd.README didn't seem like the appropriate method
of communicating that info.

- notionally support a 'history file' flag. This doesn't do much now,
but is there to prevent scripts written against GNU units from
breaking
- correctly gracefully quit rather than exit (this will make it easier
to support a history file in the future)
- remove the "t" flag from fopen which was there to support windows. We
have not supported windows since at the latest, the introduction of
capsicum.

The code path to support units conversions from the command line
need not initialize neither libedit nor the history. Therefore, only do
that when in interactive mode.
This hides the issue reported in PR bin/201167 whereby running commands
of the form 'echo "$(units ft in)"' would corrupt the terminal. The real
issue causing the corruption most likely still remains somewhere.
