instead add the newline when the pattern space is printed. Make the `G' and
`H' commands add a newline to the space before the data, remove bogus
addition of newline from `x' command.

- original version of code worked incorrectly when more than one
input files were specified - it was moving the last line from the 1st file
to be the first line of the 2nd, last line of the 2nd to be the first
line of the 3rd and so on;
- use mmap()->write() to create temporary file instead of
malloc()->read()->write(), which was not only slower, but also did not
bother to free allocated memory once backup file was created, potentially
leading to memory exhausting when regex is applied to a big file or a large
number of small ones.

could result in a symlink attack. A better solution would use
${TMPDIR}, though.

Perl for such things. The key difference to Perl is that a backup extension
*MUST* be specified, because on one hand it isn't recommended to have options
which optionally take a parameter, and on the other hand, it'd be slightly
unpleasent to implement proper handling for that.
The difference between this and the version posted to developers@ is that it
does handle multiple files in argv after the getopt(3) handling "correctly",
in that the inplace editing-specific code has been moved out to a function,
and that function is used beyond the first file in our linked list.
This option has been documented as FreeBSD-specific in the manpage.

specified, and then the first part of the pattern space is deleted, when
there are two or more input lines, as this results in subtraction of one from
an unsigned integral value of '0'. That bogus value is used in one case
for a loop (that will run far too many times in this case) and a function to
search for a value within a specified range of memory, however now the range
of memory is obscenely large and a segmentation fault will occur. This is
fixed by checking for and appropriately handling a nil pattern space as if
the specified search in memory failed, as indeed it obviously will with nil
pattern space.

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.
