330bc8582d Change the behaviour of -F slightly; it now persists (forever) in
trying to open files rather than giving up when it encounters an
error.  ENOENT errors are not reported.

As a result, files that are moved away then recreated are not at
risk of being 'lost' to tail.  Files that are recreated and
temporarily have unreadable permissions will be shown when they
are fixed.

This behaviour is consistent with the GNU version of tail but
without the verbiage that goes with the GNU version.

This change also fixes error messages accompanying -f and -F.
They no longer report problems with (null)!

5fe104598e Nuking the temporary pointer once it is properly tracked in local storage.
This should fix the double free() bug where there's no tailing newline(\n)
character:

	current# echo -n test | tail
	testAssertion failed: (run->magic == ARENA_RUN_MAGIC), function
	arena_dalloc, file /usr/src/lib/libc/stdlib/malloc.c, line 2448.
	Abort (core dumped)

2bf21fac09 Remove register keyword usage with prejudice.
Modern compilers are smarter when it comes to allocating register
usage.

a5eafc88c5 Argh! caught! *blush*.. This program was supplying it's own 'err' routine
which was slightly different to the libc one.  To save any more cunfusion,
use the libc one.

e46b438575 when file can be opened for read but cannot be read from:
fail once (was twice) in forward case
fail once (was no times) in reverse case

this can happen when file is a directory on an NFS or procfs mount.
