Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
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.

o Old-style K&R declarations have been converted to new C89 style
o register has been removed
o prototype for main() has been removed (gcc3 makes it an error)
o int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is the preferred main definition.
o Attempt to not break style(9) conformance for declarations more than
they already are.
following of the symlink for `rmdir symlink/' and is unnecessary
for ordinary directories (POSIX doesn't require rmdir(1) to do
anything for trailing slashes; it requires rmdir(2) to let them
"refer to a directory", and following the symlink for symlink/ is
what BSD does). This also fixes bugs in the slash-stripping code
(for paths consisting entirely of slashes, the pointer into the
string was decremented to "before" the beginning of the string,
and the path was at best stripped to "".
The behaviour is unchanged except for the final directory for
`rmdir -p ...'. There is no alternative to stripping intermediate
slashes since they must be specified. The sloppy slash-stripping
code is adequate for intermediate directories, since the all-slashes
case fails early.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
