Warner Losh 23f24377b1 awk: Merge 20210729 from One True Awk upstream (0592de4a)
July 27, 2021:
	As per IEEE Std 1003.1-2008, -F "str" is now consistent with
	-v FS="str" when str is null. Thanks to Warner Losh.

July 24, 2021:
	Fix readrec's definition of a record. This fixes an issue
	with NetBSD's RS regular expression support that can cause
	an infinite read loop. Thanks to Miguel Pineiro Jr.

	Fix regular expression RS ^-anchoring. RS ^-anchoring needs to
	know if it is reading the first record of a file. This change
	restores a missing line that was overlooked when porting NetBSD's
	RS regex functionality. Thanks to Miguel Pineiro Jr.

	Fix size computation in replace_repeat() for special case
	REPEAT_WITH_Q. Thanks to Todd C. Miller.

Also, included the tests from upstream, though they aren't yet connected
to the tree.

============================
Here are some things that it'd be nice to have volunteer
help on.
1. Rework the test suite so that it's easier to maintain
and see exactly which tests fail:
A. Extract beebe.tar into separate file and update scripts
B. Split apart multiple tests into separate tests with input
and "ok" files for comparisons.
2. Pull in more of the tests from gawk that only test standard features.
The beebe.tar file appears to be from sometime in the 1990s.
3. Make the One True Awk valgrind clean. In particular add a
a test suite target that runs valgrind on all the tests and
reports if there are any definite losses or any invalid reads
or writes (similar to gawk's test of this nature).
