Every usage of MB_CUR_MAX results in a call to __mb_cur_max. This is
inefficient and redundant. Caching the value of MB_CUR_MAX in a global
variable removes these calls and speeds up the runtime of sort. For
numeric sorting, runtime is almost halved in some tests.

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.
- Do not use mmap() by default; it can be enabled by --mmap
- Add some minor optimizations for -u
- Update manual page according to the changes

It is compatible with the latest version of POSIX and the current GNU sort
version that we have in base. Beside this, it implements all the
functionality introduced in later versions of GNU sort. For now, it will
be installed as "bsdsort", keeping GNU sort as the default sort
implementation.
