Max Laier fd543f2759 Add two new options to du(1):
-A      Display the apparent size instead of the disk usage.  This can be
             helpful when operating on compressed volumes or sparse files.

     -B blocksize
             Calculate block counts in blocksize byte blocks.  This is differ-
             ent from the -k, -m options or setting BLOCKSIZE and gives an
             estimate of how much space the examined file hierachy would
             require on a filesystem with the given blocksize.  Unless in -A
             mode, blocksize is rounded up to the next multiple of 512.

The former is similar to GNU's du(1) --apparent-size.  The latter is
different from what GNU's du(1) -B does, which is equivalent to setting
BLOCKSIZE in our implementation and is rather pointless as it doesn't add
any real value (i.e. you can achieve the same with a simple awk-script).

No change in the normal output or processing.
