cp -up: preserve all hard links

* src/copy.c (copy_internal): With --update (-u), this function would
return early once it found that the destination is not older than the
source, *without* recording the source-dev/ino--to--dest_name mapping.
That mapping is required in order to preserve src hard links in the
destination tree, so when using cp with --update and --preserve=links
(perhaps via -p or -a), cp could fail to preserve one hard link
per inode when at least one of the hard-linked names already exists
in the destination tree.
Reported by Odd Harry Mannsverk in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8419.

I.E. for skipped files, the original ownership is output, not the new one.
[bug introduced in sh-utils-2.0g]
cp -u -p would fail to preserve one hard link for each up-to-date copy
of a src-hard-linked name in the destination tree. I.e., if s/a and s/b
are hard-linked and dst/s/a is up to date, "cp -up s dst" would copy s/b
to dst/s/b rather than simply linking dst/s/b to dst/s/a.
[This bug appears to have been present in "the beginning".]
printf '%d' '"' no longer accesses out-of-bounds memory in the diagnostic.
