Pádraig Brady 3d53e7fe1c cp: change --attributes-only to not truncate existing files ...

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Don't truncate an existing file,
to support copying attributes between existing files.
The original use case only considered creating new files,
and it would be a very unusual use case to be relying
on the truncating behavior.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Mention the non
truncating behavior.
* tests/cp/attr-existing: A new test to ensure O_TRUNC skipped.
* tests/Makefile.am: Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior.
