fstat(2) is going to be a lot faster than reading all of the bytes in a
file, if we just need a character count for a regular file. This fast path
was accidentally broken in r326736.

wc(1)'s slow path for counting words or multibyte characters requires
conversion of the 8-bit input stream to wide characters. However, a faster
path can be used for counting only lines ('-l' -- newlines have the same
representation in all supported encodings) or bytes ('-c').
The existing line count optimization was not used if the input was the
implicit stdin. Additionally, it wasn't used if only byte counting was
requested. This change expands the fast path to both of these scenarios.
Expanding the buffer size from 64 kB helps reduce the number of read(2)
calls needed, but exactly what impact that change has and what size to
expand the buffer to are still under discussion.

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.

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.

If a SIGINFO comes in after the file is read then the 'siginfo' flag is set to
1 and the next call to show_cnt() (at exit) would print the data to stderr
rather than the expected stdout.
This was found with spamming Poudriere with SIGINFO which caused a 'wc -l'
execution to return no data rather than an expected number.

wc utility. The -L option can be used to report the length of
the longest line wc has seen in one or more files. It is
disabled by default, and wc uses the standard `-lwc'.
