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.
The wrong index was being checked for == ' ' in the resulting stringified
mode from strmode(3) -- it should have been the 11th value, not the 10th.

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

Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

fflag to ignore fts_read errors, but stop deleting from that directory
because no further progress can be made.
When building a kernel with a high -j value on a high core count
machine, during the cleanobj phase we can wind up doing multiple rm
-rf at the same time for modules that have subdirectories. This
exposed this race (sometimes) as fts_read can return an error if the
directory is removed by another rm -rf. Since the intent of the -f
flag was to ignore errors, even if this was a bug in fts_read, we
should ignore the error like we've been instructed to do.
directory entry then use the struct stat from that instead of doing
it again, and skip the rm_overwrite() call if fts_read() indicated
that the entry couldn't be a regular file.

For these simple utilities, it doesn't harm to make all global variables
static. In fact, this allows the compiler to perform better forms of
optimisation and analysis.
Formerly, this tried to clear the flags on the symlink's target
instead of the symlink itself.
As before, this only happens for root or for the unlink(1) variant of rm.

instead of removing the file and issue a warning about
the removal, do not do any operation at all in case -P
is specified when the dinode has hard links.
With -f and -P specified together, we assume that the
user wants rm to overwrite the contents of the file
and remove it (destroy the contents of file but leave
its hard links as is).
The reason of doing it this way is that, in case where
a hard link is created by a malicious user (currently
this is permitted even if the user has no access to the
file). Losing the link can potentially mean that the
actual owner would lose control completely to the user
who wants to obtain access in a future day.

loss, which is usually undesired.

earlier, and more gracefully. Previously, this combination would be
ignored early in the code where permissions are tested and fail later
with a very unhelpful "permission denied" error.
Instead, test for this flag in the same block that generates the
"override?" messages for read-only files, but instead of trying
to guess what the user has in mind, generate an error and exit.
Update the man page to reflect this new behavior.
