Previously ar would report an error like "ar: fatal: Write error"
without including additional errno information. Change warnings and
errors to include archive_errno() so that the user may have some idea
of the reason for the failure.

Many licenses on ar files contained small variations from the standard
FreeBSD license text. To avoid license proliferation switch to the usual
standard 2-clause FreeBSD license for those files where I have obtained
permission from all of the listed copyright holders.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

- new yacc(1) do declare yyparse by itself, fix redundant declaration of
'yyparse'

ar(1)'s dependencies on compressor libraries -lz, -lbz2 and -llzma and
fixes building HEAD on some versions of FreeBSD[78]. Option -j and -z
is now accepted but ignored.
Compressed ar(1) archives are not useful without a ld(1) that can read
them. Also, the current ar(1) compression scheme prevents random
access of archive members and needs to be redesigned anyway.

script mode like the MRI(Microtec Research Inc.) "librarian" program.
Originally this option is provided by Binutils ar(1) to ease the
transition for developers who are used to writing "librarian" scripts.
We added this option to BSD ar(1) because:
1. Further improve the compatibility with Binutils ar(1).
2. There are still a few software using this -M option. (at least one
in our ports collection)
