Sometimes users want to use freebsd-update(8) in a non-interactive way and
what they often miss is that they have to set PAGER to cat(1) in order to
avoid interactive prompts from less(1).

This allows us to redirect its output in cmd_cron, so that the
"src component not installed, skipped" message will be treated
the same way as other output from freebsd-update cron: Sent
in an email to root (or other address specified) if there are
updates to install, and silenced otherwise.

With the inclusion of caroot bits, we'll need to also rehash on update as we
do in mergemaster/etcupdate.
If certctl's installed on the system, just unconditionally rehash. This
isn't an expensive operation, and we can refine it to compare
INDEX-{OLD,NEW} later if we really want to.

`freebsd-update updatesready' can be used to check if there are any pending
fetched updates that can be installed.
`freebsd-update showconfig' writes freebsd-update's configuration to
stdout.
This also changes the exit code of `freebsd-update install' to 2 in case
there are no updates pending to be installed and there wasn't a fetch phase
in the same invocation. This allows scripts to tell apart these error
conditions without breaking existing jail managers.
See freebsd-update(8) for details.

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.

just "directory" entries.
Prior to this commit, if / was added as part of a security update (how? In
the most recent case, because lib32 was accidentally omitted and was then
re-added, and every installer distribution set gets its own paths) then
the code which was supposed to filter out updates to deleted parts of the
base system (if someone decides to delete / then we shouldn't re-create it
for them) would instead get confused and decided that while / should exist,
// should not exist and needs to be removed.
This fixes the bug which caused freebsd-update to want to delete / (which is
harmless, since `rm /` fails, but scary nonetheless). A workaround is being
applied to the update bits in order to avoid triggering the bug on unpatched
systems.
