Add the -i option to setextattr. This option allow extended attribute data
to be provided via stdin. Add a -qq option to getextattr, which omits the
trailing newline. Together these options can be used to work with extended
attributes whose values are large and/or binary.
usr.sbin/extattr/Makefile:
Link against libsbuf which is used for processing stdin data.
usr.sbin/extattr/rmextattr.8:
Document setextattr's -i option, getextattr's -qq option, and remove
the BUG about setextattr only being useful for strings.
usr.sbin/extattr/rmextattr.c:
For setextattr operations, buffer attribute data in an sbuf. If -i
is specified, pull the data from stdin, otherwise from the
appropriate argurment.
Update usage text and argument validation code for setextattr's -i
option.
usr.sbin/extattr/tests/extattr_test.sh
Add tests for -q and -i.

the command should not follow the symlink if the target file is a
symlink. Invoke the extattr_*_link(2) version of the system call
in that situation, instead of extattr_*_file(2). This is
consistent with other attribute management tools in the system.
