We have a bad habit of duplicating contents of files that are sourced from
/dev/null and applied more than once... take the more sane (in most ways)
GNU route and complain if the file exists and offer reversal options.
This still falls short a little bit as selecting "don't reverse, apply
anyway" will still give you duplicated file contents. There's probably other
issues as well, but awareness is the first step to happiness.

option.
Add a new alias to make our implementation more compatible.

This change reverts a change from OpenBSD which made use of
calloc, and therefore wasted time initializing arrays that
will later be realloc'ed. Consistently use FreeBSD's
reallocf().
While here also merge the changes from OpenBSD's manpage
patch.1 Rev 1.27:
"patch was moved from user portability (UP) to base in issue 7
and is no longer optional"

- Other changes to Copyright headers to make them consistent with other
source code, we intend to fork from this point.
