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.
from blank lines being numbered or unnumbered, depending on whether cat
was invoked with -ne or -be.
At present, when cat is invoked with -be, there is an aditional
difference that the '$' on blank lines is placed on the far left of the
output.
Discussed in bug 210607.
While here, revert the workaround from r304035 which skipped the unit test for
this issue previously.

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.

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.

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
after: /usr/bin/time -hlp ./cat file1 > file2
...
417 voluntary context switches
272 involuntary context switches

Restore the code that avoided closing and reopening
stdin. This is also required by POSIX. As a bonus,
enable multiple stdin reads with the -benstv flags,
by resetting the EOF condition on stdin.
This gets rid of a bogus cast of NULL in setbuf().
Lets us know the buffer malloc failed.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

NetBSD's cat and FreeBSD's cat:
getopt return value is -1 on NetBSD and EOF on FreeBSD.
NetBSD has added setlocale calls before anything else.
