There are some tests available in the NetBSD test suite, but we don't
currently pass all of those; further investigation will go into that. For
now, just add a basic test as well as a test that copies from /dev/null to a
file.
The /dev/null test confirms that the file gets created if it's empty, then
that it truncates the file if it's non-empty. This matches some usage that
was previously employed in the build and was replaced in r366042 by a
simpler shell construct.
I will also plan on coming back to expand these in due time.

Even though copy_file_range has a file-system agnostic version, it still
fails on devfs (perhaps because the file descriptor is non-seekable?) In
that case, fallback to old-fashioned read/write. Fixes
"cp /dev/null /tmp/null"

This has three advantages over write(2)/read(2):
* Fewer context switches and data copies
* Mostly preserves a file's sparseness
* On some file systems (currently NFS 4.2) the file system will perform the
copy in an especially efficient way.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
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.

Note: tcsh(1) has a MK_TCSH=no test, so this should be a separate
package, which requires pre-install/post-install scripts, to be
added later.

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.

This is also implemented in at least GNU coreutils cp.
While here also improve the '-l' handling to not open(2) the source file as
it does not actually need the descriptor.

In an attempt to improve performance, cp reordered directories first
(although the comment says directories last). This is not effective with new
UFS layout policies.
The sorting reorders multiple arguments passed to cp, which may be
undesirable.
Additionally, the comparison function does not induce a total order. Per
POSIX, this causes undefined behaviour in qsort().
NetBSD removed the sorting in 2009.
On filesystems that return directory entries in hash/btree order, sorting by
d_fileno before statting improves performance on large directories. However,
this can only be implemented in fts(3).

Otherwise with '-v' we print out the file name as if it was copied:
/tmp/2gb-card/M0132.CTG not overwritten
/mnt/DCIM/CANONMSC/M0132.CTG -> /tmp/2gb-card/M0132.CTG
Previously, it would either try to copy it anyway and fail (without -R),
or create fifo instead of the socket (with -R).

Note that this changes error reporting behaviour somewhat - before,
no error was reported if ACL couldn't be copied because the target
filesystem doesn't support ACLs. Now, it will be reported - of course,
only if there actually is an ACL to copy.

memory: if number of physmem pages is greater than 32k (equalling 128 MB
on machines with 4 kB pages).
Typical immediate result of these changes is reduction in context switches
and the goal is to increase efficiency by using large buffers:
before: /usr/bin/time -hlp cat file1 > file2
...
163 voluntary context switches
11194 involuntary context switches
