The freopen(3) was replaced with fileargs_open(3) and fclose(3).
In the following function, we skip if the stream is standard in, so it is
safe to do so.
This also requires us to change the logic first to open the file and then
check its status. The stat(2) is disallowed in capability mode.
This commit unbrakes the -F option.
The bug was introduced in the r348708.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
In the case where write(2) does not return -1, it does not initialize errno.
This can happen when a broken pipe causes a short write.
I attempted to adapt the submitted test case to ATF but could not figure out
how to make the test run in the ATF environment. So the aborted test is
left disabled, in case someone would like to run it manually or fix it.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

trying to open files rather than giving up when it encounters an
error. ENOENT errors are not reported.
As a result, files that are moved away then recreated are not at
risk of being 'lost' to tail. Files that are recreated and
temporarily have unreadable permissions will be shown when they
are fixed.
This behaviour is consistent with the GNU version of tail but
without the verbiage that goes with the GNU version.
This change also fixes error messages accompanying -f and -F.
They no longer report problems with (null)!
MFC after: 3 weeks
long -> off_t
strtol -> strtoll
fseek -> fseeko
NOTE: that fseek not works for >long offsets files per POSIX:
[EOVERFLOW] For fseek( ), the resulting file offset would be a value which
cannot be represented correctly in an object of type long.
stat() the file being followed and do a close/reopen if the file has been
renamed and/or rotated. This is damn useful for leaving running on files
in /var/log when newsyslog(8) rotates them.
