Allocating and deallocating repeatedly the 1024-byte buffer for stdout from
builtins costs CPU time for little or no benefit.
A simple loop containing builtins that write to a file descriptor, such as
i=0; while [ "$i" -lt 1000000 ]; do printf .; i=$((i+1)); done >/dev/null
is over 10% faster in a simple benchmark on an amd64 virtual machine.
Similarly to how STPUTC was changed, change struct output to store the
pointer just past the end of the available space instead of the size of the
available space, so after writing a character it is only necessary to
increment a pointer and not to decrement a counter.
It does not make much sense to generate the '-' in a pattern bracket
expression using arithmetic expansion, but it does not make sense to forbid
it either.
Try to avoid reprocessing the string if it is unnecessary.

This test already passes.
The special case of modifying an existing alias does not work correctly if
the alias is currently in use. Instead, handle this case by unaliasing the
old alias (if any) and then creating a new alias.
With the new expansion code (word splitting during instead of after other
expansion processing), tracing the result of command substitution is no
longer possible, so stop trying.
The parsed internal representation of words consists of a byte string with a
list of nodes (commands in command substitution). Each unescaped CTLBACKQ or
CTLBACKQ | CTLQUOTE byte corresponds to an entry in the list.
If param in ${param#%##%%word} is not set, the word is not expanded (in a
deviation of POSIX shared with other ash variants and ksh93). Erroneously,
the pointer in the list of commands (argbackq) was not advanced. This caused
the wrong command to be executed later if the outer word contained another
command substitution.
Example:
echo "${unsetvar#$(echo a)}$(echo b)"
wrote "a" but should write "b".

Code like t=$(stat -f %m "$file") segfaulted if -T was active and a trap
was taken while the shell was waiting for the child process to finish.
What happened was that the dotrap() call in waitforjob() was hit. This
re-entered command execution (including expand.c) at a point not expected by
expbackq(), and global state (unallocated stack string and argbackq) was
corrupted.
To fix this, change expbackq() to prepare for command execution to be
re-entered.

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.

Per Austin group issue #884, always set IFS to $' \t\n'. As before, IFS will
be exported iff it was in the environment.
Most shells (e.g. bash, ksh93 and mksh) already did this. This change
improves predictability, in that scripts can simply rely on the default
value.
However, the effect on security is little, since applications should not be
calling the shell with attacker-controlled environment variable names in the
first place and other security-sensitive variables such as PATH should be
and are imported by the shell.
When using a new sh with an old (before 10.2) libc wordexp(), IFS is no
longer passed on. Otherwise, wordexp() continues to pass along IFS from the
environment per its documentation.

Instead of changing the whole course to another POSIX-permitted way
for consistency and uniformity I decide to completely ignore missing
regex fucntionality and focus on fixing bugs in what we have now,
too many small obstacles we have choicing other way, counting ports.
Corresponding libc changes are backed out in r302824.
The first file in these lists will generate everything else so only
it should be getting a .meta file. With bmake's missing=yes meta
feature these would otherwise cause a rebuild without the
.NOMETA hint.

case of \c in the prompt format string is a no-op. We already passed
this test at the top of the loop, and i has not yet been incremented in
this path. Change this test to (i < PROMPTLEN - 2).

Replace the magic constant 127 in the loop interation count with
"PROMPTLEN - 1".
gethostname() is not guaranteed to NUL terminate the destination
string if it is too short. Decrease the length passed to gethostname()
by one, and add a NUL at the end of the buffer to make sure the
following loop to find the end of the name properly terminates.
The default: case is the likely cause of Coverity CID 1008328. If
i is 126 at the top of the loop interation where the default case
is triggered, i will be incremented to 127 by the default case,
then incremented to 128 at the top of the loop before being compared
to 127 (PROMPTLENT - 1) and terminating the loop. Then the NUL
termination code after the loop will write to ps[128]. Fix by
checking for overflow before incrementing the index and storing the
second character in the buffer.
These fixes are not guaranteed to satisfy Coverity. The code that
increments i in the 'h'/'H' and 'w'/'W' cases may be beyond its
capability to analyze, but the code appears to be safe.

Summary of changes:
- Replace all instances of FILES/TESTS with ${PACKAGE}FILES. This ensures that
namespacing is kept with FILES appropriately, and that this shouldn't need
to be repeated if the namespace changes -- only the definition of PACKAGE
needs to be changed
- Allow PACKAGE to be overridden by callers instead of forcing it to always be
`tests`. In the event we get to the point where things can be split up
enough in the base system, it would make more sense to group the tests
with the blocks they're a part of, e.g. byacc with byacc-tests, etc
- Remove PACKAGE definitions where possible, i.e. where FILES wasn't used
previously.
- Remove unnecessary TESTSPACKAGE definitions; this has been elided into
bsd.tests.mk
- Remove unnecessary BINDIRs used previously with ${PACKAGE}FILES;
${PACKAGE}FILESDIR is now automatically defined in bsd.test.mk.
- Fix installation of files under data/ subdirectories in lib/libc/tests/hash
and lib/libc/tests/net/getaddrinfo
- Remove unnecessary .include <bsd.own.mk>s (some opportunistic cleanup)
Document the proposed changes in share/examples/tests/tests/... via examples
so it's clear that ${PACKAGES}FILES is the suggested way forward in terms of
replacing FILES. share/mk/bsd.README didn't seem like the appropriate method
of communicating that info.

If the hostname is empty and \h is used in $PS1,
the remainder of the prompt following \h will be empty.
Likewise for $PWD and \w. Fix it.
