Some files are physically copied from gnulib, and should get sync'ed
after each update to latest gnulib. This was forgotten during recent
updates.

Incorporating these coreutils specific changes:
backupfile: initialize default suffix within the implementation
strftime,strptime: support %q to represent the quarter
Also sync these copies with gnulib:
* bootstrap: Now supports AIX.
* gnulib: Update to the latest.
* tests/init.sh: dash(1) is now disabled.
* gnulib: Update to latest.
* NEWS: Specifically mention the fts readdir() fix
and reindent to standard indentation.
* tests/init.sh: Update from gnulib.

* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
* tests/init.sh (returns_): Disable tracing for this wrapper
function, so that stderr of the wrapped command is unchanged,
allowing for verification of the contents.
Many tests use `program ... && fail=1` to ensure expected
error situations are indicated. However that would mask
an unexpected exit (like a crash). Therefore explicitly
check the expected exit code.
Note where error messages are also verified, the extra
protection is not added.
* tests/init.sh (returns_): A new helper function to
check the return code of a command, and used
throughout the tests.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_and_fail_1): Add a syntax check
to avoid new instances of this issue.
* bootstrap: Update copyright year manually (missing in previous
gnulib update).
* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
The entries in the exemption list are processed by
"grep -vEf ./.x-update-copyright", and therefore evaluated as an
extended regular expression (ERE). Thus, the "bootstrap" entry
also matched for bootstrap.conf which we want to be updated.
* .x-update-copyright: Change all entries to EREs, i.e. including
the caret ^ and dollar sign $ meta-characters matching the beginning
and the end of a line.
* bootstrap.conf: Update copyright year by "make update-copyright".
Finally, the only one showing up with the following command should
be the COPYING file:
$ git grep 'Copyright .* Free Software' | grep -v '2015 Free Software'
Some newer test scripts - partially ones from me - are not executable.
It does not seem to be a problem, but for consistency and to avoid
future problems on unusual platforms or shells change the permissions
by adding the executable bit.
* cfg.mk (sc_tests_executable): Add new syntax-check rule to ensure
that all test scripts are executable.
* tests/df/df-output.sh: Change file mode from 644 to 755.
* tests/du/threshold.sh: Likewise.
* tests/factor/run.sh: Likewise.
* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
* tests/misc/csplit-suppress-matched.pl: Likewise.
* tests/misc/numfmt.pl: Likewise.
* tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Likewise.
Run "make update-copyright", but then also run this,
perl -pi -e 's/2\d\d\d-//' tests/sample-test
to make that one script use the single most recent year number.
date -d "$(printf '\xb0')" would print 00:00:00 with today's date
rather than diagnosing the invalid input. Now it reports this:
date: invalid date '\260'
* gnulib: Update submodule to latest for fixed parse-datetime.y.
* tests/misc/date [invalid-high-bit-set]: New test.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* bootstrap, tests/init.sh: Also update to latest.

Exempt lines with '$' or '=', since those are prone to improper
conversion. Run this:
git grep -l "\`[^']*'" tests \
|xargs perl -pi -e '/[=\$]/ and next;s/\`([^'\''"]*?'\'')/'\''$1/g'
* tests/init.sh: Relax check for diff -u support.
Rather than checking for GNU diff via --version, simply check
for support for -u itself. Useful at least on OpenBSD 4.9.
* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use "sed 1q" in place of "head -1".
The latter is officially obsolete but more portable than "head -n1".
Reported by Bernhard Voelker.
* tests/init.cfg (skip_test_): Remove function.
Use skip_ in place of skip_test_ everywhere else.
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_skip_): Remove rule.
* tests/**: Use skip_, not skip_test_, everywhere.
* tests/init.sh (warn_): Use printf, not echo. The latter would
misbehave when given strings containing a backslash or starting
with e.g., -n. James Youngman suggested setting IFS.
Running "make check" normally prints a diagnostic to the outermost
stderr (usually a tty) to explain why a test is skipped. It did this
by redirecting FD 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2") before invoking the
shell script. Shell scripts write skip-explanation to FD 9 via
init.sh's skip_ function. However, with ksh and HP-UX's /bin/sh,
the effects of "exec 9>&2" are canceled upon fork-and-exec, so we
would get a "Bad file number" diagnostic and no skip explanation on
those systems.
* tests/check.mk (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect more portably, via
"$(SHELL) 9>&2", rather than the prior "exec 9>&2; $(SHELL) ..."
Actually, we use "shell_or_perl_ 9>&2", to make this effective
also for the perl-based tests.
* tests/init.sh (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/22488
for lots of discussion. Stefano Lattarini suggested the solution
of putting "9>&2" after the command. Reported by Bruno Haible.
skip_test_ emits its diagnostic both to FD 9 (tty), and to
FD 2 (usually the log file), whereas init.sh's skip_ emits
only to FD 9. Without that, the log is slightly less useful.
* tests/cp/fiemap-2: Use skip_test_, not skip_.

* tests/split/filter: Likewise.
Prompted by a report from Pádraig Brady.
* gnulib: Update to latest, to address http://debbugs.gnu.org/8230.
When built on Solaris 9 and run on Solaris 10, touch would segfault.
Reported by Ben Walton.
* bootstrap: Update from gnulib.
* tests/init.sh: Likewise.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this.
* tests/init.sh (setup_): Initialize fail=0 before invoking mktempd_.
Ensure that IFS is defined initially.
(mktempd_): Remove fail=0 initialization; no longer needed.
because dash-0.5.6-2.fc14.x86_64 would also be disqualified.
This reverts part of yesterday's commit 6c058b2d, "tests: avoid
failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending
aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not
specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending
"local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke
such a fundamental change in semantics.
* tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support.
Upstream dash bug report:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/419
* tests/init.sh: Arrange not to accept FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh, since
it fails this test: /bin/sh -c 'f(){ local s=$IFS; test -n "$s"; }; f'
* tests/init.cfg (sanitize_path_): Stop-gap measure to work around
a bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh. We'll un-do this change once all
300+ tests use init.sh.
