6fbe7bf4f2 Some refactoring for easier maintenance of the code. This is a follow-up
to re-establishment of 64bit arithmetic, but is committed separately, to
not obscure that conversion. This commit does not change the observed
behaviour of expr in any way. Style will be fixed in a follow-up commit.

fa717604a4 Make /bin/expr support 64bit numeric range and range checks by default,
again. This brings back the behaviour of expr in FreeBSD-4, which had been
reverted due to an assumed incompatbility with POSIX.1 for FreeBSD-5.

This issue has been discussed in the freebsd-standards list, and the
consensus was, that POSIX.1 is in fact not violated by this extension,
since it affects only cases of POSIX undefined behaviour (overflow of
signed long).

Other operating systems did upgrade their versions of expr to support
64bit range, after it had been initially brought to FreeBSD. They have
used it for a decade without problems, meanwhile.

The -e option is retained, but it will only select less strict checking
of numeric parameters (leading white-space, leading "+" are allowed and
skipped, an empty string is considered to represent 0 in numeric context.)
The call of check_utility_compat() as a means of establishing backwards
compatibility with FreeBSD-4 is considered obsolete, but preserved in
this commit. It is expected to be removed in a later revision of this
file.

f390d8d927 expr(1): Add sh(1) versions of examples, remove an incorrect example.
The three examples are better done using sh(1) itself these days.

The example
  expr -- "$a" : ".*"
is incorrect in the general case, as "$a" may be an operator.

c9885518de Create a small library function, check_utility_compat(3), to determine
whether a named utility should behave in FreeBSD 4.x-compatible mode
or in a standard mode (default standard).  The configuration is done
malloc(3)-style, with either an environment variable or a symlink.

Update expr(1) to use this new interface.

1393277e29 The response to my POSIX interpretation request says that `expr'
is required to be oblivious to overflow and to use the data type `long'.
(Division by zero is undefined in ISO C so it's still OK to check for it
here.)  Add a new `-e' flag to get the old, more useful behavior.

f07e42470f Make expr POSIX-compliant, and fix some bugs. Specifically:
- expr must conform to the Utility Syntax Guidelines, so use
getopt() to eat the (non-existent) options.

- Use the Standard type intmax_t for arithmetic.

- If an argument cannot be *completely* converted to an integer, then
it is a string.

Additionally make some style cleanups near the modified lines.  This
utility is still not completely style-compliant.

2a353a9fb4 expr(1) didn't comply to Posix.2 and its own man page: any
comparisions have been made as string comparisions, even in cases
where both operands clearly qualified as integers.

The fix is to make the parser properly analyzing whether an operand is
a valid integer or not.
