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.

* Rewrite r_buf to use standard tail queues instead of a hand-rolled
circular linked list. Free dynamic allocations when done.
* Remove an optimization for the case where the file is a multiple of 128KB
in size and there is a scarcity of memory.
* Add ATF tests for "tail -r" and its variants.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

If tail notices that a file it is following no longer exists (because stat()
fails), it will output any final lines and then close the file. If the read
operation also causes an error, such as when the filesystem is forcefully
unmounted, it closes the file as well, leading to fclose(NULL) and a
segmentation fault.

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)!

o When stat(2) fails (i.e. the file has been moved) there's no new
file with the same name yet, so keep showing the file that's open.
This yields the same behaviour as -f, for which we don't stat(2).
o When a new file with the same name has been created (i.e stat(2)
succeeds but the inode or device numbers differ from the opened
file), show any new lines in the opened file (i.e. the old or
rotated file) before reopening the new file.
These changes fix the observed behaviour that tail(1) doesn't show
the very last lines of the rotated (log) files.

after allocating a new buffer. This bug caused `tail -r < /dev/null'
to core dump when the `J' malloc option is set, and also affected
any other input that was an exact multiple of 128k.
during we show the first file's tail. Instead of:
tarsier% tail -f 1 2
==> 1 <==
foo
bar
==> 2 <==
bar
foo
==> 2 <==
bar2
foo2
Now with this change, we have:
tarsier% tail -f 1 2
==> 1 <==
foo
bar
==> 2 <==
bar
foo
bar2
foo2
While I'm there, move a comment to where it should belong to. Also,
const'ify the "last" static because we will never need to change the
contents it points to.
