various:
One True Awk has been updated to the latest from upstream
(20210215). All the FreeBSD patches, but one, have now been
either up streamed or discarded. Notable changes include:
o Locale is no longer used for ranges
o Various bugs fixed
o Better compatibility with gawk and mawk
The one FreeBSD change, likely to be removed in FreeBSD 14, is that
we still allow hex numbers, prefixed with 0x, to be parsed and
interpreted as hex numbers while all other awks (including one
true awk now) interpret them as 0 in line with awk's historic
behavior.
