9b6c25510b doc: de-“note” the documentation
* doc/coreutils.texi, man/readlink.x, man/runcon.x:
* src/comm.c (usage):
* src/digest.c (usage):
* src/echo.c (usage):
* src/join.c (usage):
* src/ln.c (usage):
* src/rm.c (usage):
* src/stat.c (usage):
* src/system.h (USAGE_BUILTIN_WARNING):
* src/test.c (usage):
* src/touch.c (usage):
* src/uniq.c (usage):
Rewrite to avoid most uses of “Note that” and similar wording.
These circumlocutions are rarely needed, and avoiding them
improves readability and lessens preaching.

a05a326b0c readlink: support multiple command line arguments
This allows efficient processing of multiple files,
while also increasing compatibility with BSD's readlink(1).
We also add the -z, --zero option to delimit output items
with the NUL character which disambiguates output in the
presence of '\n' characters.

* src/readlink.c (usage): Add the --zero description,
and also adjust the description of --no-newline accordingly.
(main): Handle the -z option and iterate over multiple arguments.
Also as in commit v8.15-24-g9d46b25 we use fputs() and putchar()
rather than printf() for performance reasons.
* doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document the
new --zero option, adjust the --no-newline description, and
tweak the general info to indicate multiple files are supported.
* tests/readlink/multi.sh: A new test for the new functionality.
* tests/local.mk: Reference the new test.
* man/readlink.x: Adjust the summary and also reference realpath.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.
* THANKS.in: Suggested by Aaron Davies.
