Sort(1)'s radixsort implementation was broken for multibyte LC_CTYPEs in at
least two ways:
* In actual radix sort, it would only bucket the least significant
byte from each wchar, ignoring the 24 most-significant bits of each
unicode character.
* In degenerate cases / "fast paths," it would fall back to another
sorting algorithm (default: mergesort) with a bogus comparator
offset. The string comparison functions in sort(1) take an offset
in units of the operating character size. However, radixsort was
passing an offset in units of bytes. The byte offset must be
divided by sizeof(wchar_t).
This revision addresses both discovered issues.
Some example testcases:
$ (echo 耳 ; echo 脳 ; echo 耳) | \
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C sort --radixsort --debug
$ (echo 耳 ; echo 脳 ; echo 耳) | \
LC_CTYPE=C LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C sort --radixsort --debug
$ (for i in $(jot 34); do echo 耳耳耳耳耳; echo 耳耳耳耳脳; echo 耳耳耳耳脴; done) | \
LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=C LANG=C sort --radixsort --debug

Experimentally, reduces sort -R time of a 148160 line corpus from about
3.15s to about 0.93s on this particular system.
There's probably room for improvement using some digest other than md5, but
I don't want to look at sort(1) anymore. Some discussion of other possible
improvements in the Test Plan section of the Differential.

Bound input file processing length to avoid the issue reported in [1]. For
simplicity, only allow regular file and character device inputs. For
character devices, only allow /dev/random (and /dev/urandom symblink).
32 bytes of random is perfectly sufficient to seed MD5; we don't need any
more. Users that want to use large files as seeds are encouraged to truncate
those files down to an appropriate input file via tools like sha256(1).
(This does not change the sort algorithm of sort -R.)

There's no reason to order based on strcmp of ASCII digests instead of
memcmp of the raw digests.
While here, remove collision fallback. If you collide two MD5s, they're
probably the same string anyway. If robustness against MD5 collisions is
desired, maybe we shouldn't use MD5.
None of the behavior of sort -R is specified by POSIX, so we're free to
implement this however we like. E.g., using a 128-bit counter and block cipher
to generate unique indices for each line of input.

Observe:
printf "a\nb\nc\n" > /tmp/foo
# Next command results in no output
cat /tmp/foo | sort -m
# Next command results in proper output
cat /tmp/foo | sort -m -
# Also works:
sort -m /tmp/foo
Some const'ification was done to simplify the actual solution of adding "-"
explicitly to the file list if we didn't have any file arguments left over.

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.
Worker threads now use a pthread_cond_t to wait for work instead of
burning the cpu up.
