38911b3c2c ar: provide error exit status upon failure
Previously ar and ranlib returned with exit status 0 (success) in the
case of a missing file or other error.  Update to use error handling
similar to that added by ELF Tool Chain after that project forked
FreeBSD's ar.

25f82d56c7 usr.bin/ar: use standard 2-Clause FreeBSD license
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.

1de7b4b805 various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
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.

0c099281a3 Add support for option "-M", which is used to operate ar(1) in a
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)
