Due to the use of signed vs. unsigned chars on our various platforms, one gets

used so often that it's worth keeping it as a builtin.
Now that all the printf invocations from within the system startup
scripts, we can safely remove it.

No MFC is planned so far because it may break compatibility and
violate POLA.
binary size increase is 3,784 bytes (about 0.6%).
I don't drop the printf builtin while I'm here because some /etc/rc.*
scripts seem to use it before mounting /usr where printf(1) resides.

* Consistently misspell built-in as builtin.
* Add a builtin(1) manpage and create builtin(1) MLINKS for all shell
builtin commands for which no standalone utility exists. These MLINKS
replace those that were created for csh(1).
* Add appropriate xrefs for builtin(1) to the csh(1) and sh(1) manpages,
as well as to the manpages of standalone utilities which are supported
as shell builtin commands in at least one of the shells. In such
manpages, explain that similar functionality may be provided as a
shell builtin command.
* Improve sh(1)'s description of the cd builtin command. Csh(1) already
describes it adequately. Replace the cd(1) manpage with a builtin(1)
MLINKS link.
* Clean up some mdoc problems: use Xr instead of literal "foo(n)"; use
Ic instead of Xr for shell builtin commands.
* Undo English contractions.

Removed explicit dependencies of foo.o on foo.c. These were mainly
placeholders for comments about missing dependencies of tools objects
on headers. This problem needs to be handled more generally.
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.
so that simple regresssion tests based on `cmp' work. mkdep still
doesn't work right for these tools. They should probably be in
separate directories.
Sorted dependencies.
merge of parallel duplicate work by Steve Price and myself. :-]
There are some changes to the build that are my fault... mkinit.c was
trying (poorly) to duplicate some of the work that make(1) is designed to
do. The Makefile hackery is my fault too, the depend list was incomplete
because of some explicit OBJS+= entries, so mkdep wasn't picking up their
source file #includes.
This closes a pile of /bin/sh PR's, but not all of them..

didn't correctly start background jobs anymore. Strange that nobody
was complaining...
Add a dummy target for `builtins' in the Makefile, to prevent it
from attempting to build this file by compiling builtins.c. :-/
The && and || tokens do also terminate a command, not only the
newline.
While i was at it, disabled trace code by default, it served no good
purpose since it required the use of a debugger anyway to be turned
on. Instead, placed a hint in the Makefile on how to turn it on.
This makes the shell ~ 10 % faster and ~ 4 KB smaller. :)

automagically. -lfoo has to be right to work, but ${LIBFO0} is too
easy to forget or misspell; nothing checks it and it should be
different for shared libraries.
