f19825af72 test: Remove -ntXY and -otXY primaries.
This reverts commit r247274.

As maintainer of sh, I disapprove of this feature addition.

It is too specific and can be done without easily using find(1) or stat(1).
I will add some hints to the test(1) man page shortly.

In general, FreeBSD sh is not the place to invent new shell language
features. This is how it has been maintained and adding features randomly
does not work with that.

The new syntax (e.g. [ FILE1 -ntca FILE2 ]) looks cryptic to me.

293beebc46 Enhance test(1) by adding provision to compare any combination of the
access, birth, change and modify times of two files, instead of only
being able to compare modify times.  The builtin test in sh(1) will
automagically acquire the same expansion.

ec45d51460 Document that both sides of -a or -o are always evaluated. This
"feature" doesn't seem to be in the standards or elsewhere, and
it is against what we are used to in C and sh(1), so put the
paragraph under BUGS.

d90c5c4ab4 Make test(1) a builtin command of our sh(1) for efficiency. The
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.

c4d9468ea0 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

bef84d6bc0 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide

717a08b6e5 Replace our test(1) with NetBSD's pdksh-derived version. The code is
significantly easier to read and extend and offers a few new tests.
A few style changes taken from style(9) and OpenBSD, as well as
whitespace cleanups.

This change was discussed on freebsd-committers and freebsd-hackers
and met with approval from at least des, eivind and brian.
