cb0dad38e4 GNU ar did NOT implment option -q as a synonym of -r as the manual
page stated, thus BSD ar(1) option -q, which was implemented based on
the GNU ar manual page, turns out to be incompatible with GNU ar -q.

This change will make BSD ar(1) -q a *REAL* GNU ar -q:

1. It will update symbol table. (same as unfixed version)
2. It will NOT compare new members spcified in the command line args
   with existing members, instead, append them directly.

It is installed as "bsdar" unless WANT_BSDAR is defined.
