Two PRs (152084 & 210187) request allowing the "@" and/or "!"
characters in the passwd file GECOS field. The man page for pw does
not mention that those characters are disallowed, Linux supports those
characters in this field, and the "@" character in particular would be
useful for storing email addresses in that field.

Previouly it was possible to create users with spaces in the name with:
pw useradd -u 1234 -g 1234 -n 'test user'
The "-g 1234" is relevant, without it the name was already rejected
as expected:
[fk@test ~]$ sudo pw useradd -u 1234 -n 'test user'
pw: invalid character ` ' at position 4 in userid/group name
Bug unintentionally found with a salt config without explicit name entry:
test user:
user.present:
- uid: 1234
- gid: 1234
- fullname: Test user
- shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
- home: /home/test
- groups:
- wheel
- salt
"Luckily" salt modules rarely bother with input validation either ...

naming scheme
usr.bin/diff/diff_test was renamed to usr.bin/diff/netbsd_diff_test
to avoid collisions with the renamed FreeBSD test.
