PR/22799: Hiramatsu Yoshifumi: Add -i option to /bin/ln

Slightly modified patch applied, thanks!

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.

.Nm does not need a dummy argument ("") before punctuation or
for correct formatting of the SYNOPSIS any longer.

Whitespace nits.

Added verbose extension and updated manual pages. Changes approved by Klaus Klein.

New policy: New sentences start on a new line.
Patches by Robert Elz <kre at munnari oz au>, with minimal changes by me.

Document POSIX.2 conformance.
In the second form, the destination directory isn't optional.
Formatting cleanups.

More and more .Os cleanups. .Os is defined in the tmac.doc-common file,
so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages. Many more to
come.

Fix .Nm usage.

Correct bogons and omissions in previous change.
Also, remove the `-F' option, which was undocumented and is no longer useful.

add -h flag to suppress following of symbolic links

Use "utility" instead of "command". Modern definitions of these terms
are distinct (See POSIX.2 glossary).

A utility is a executable, script or shell builtin; while a command
can be any of those things plus lists, pipelines, compound commands
(if, for, while) and shell function definitions.

Document the fact that ln now conforms to IEEE 1003.2-92.

Update usage to include -w
Match sequence as per SYNOPSIS in manual

branches: 1.39.4; 1.39.10; 1.39.12;

When called as "link" (not currently installed that way) always simply
do a link(2) sys call, never use the internal linkit() routine, which
allows for a destination directory and installs the link inside (and more.)

This makes ln's "link" variant comply with its (currently commented out)
section if its manual page, and also makes it identical to /usr/sbin/link.

sprinkle a little const, and now everything compiles with WARNS=3

Add -v to usage. Closes PR 25862 by Kouichirou Hiratsuka.

Homogenize usage messages: make the 'usage' word all lowercase, as this seems

Move UCB-licensed code from 4-clause to 3-clause licence.

Patches provided by Joel Baker in PR 22249, verified by myself.

As discusses a little while back on tech-userlevel:

If stdout is a tty, use vis(3) to print any filenames to prevent garbage
from being printed if the filename contains control- or other non-printable
characters.

While here, sprinkle some EXIT_FAILURE and NOTREACHED where appropriate.

The previious ln commit did not have the change for -v in the source. Here is the working code.

Revert rev. 1.16, as per PR kern/17411.

While a hard link to a symbolic link is not ruled out by POSIX-2001,
the ln(1) utility (sans -s) is to perform equivalent to the link(2)
function on its operands, which includes the resolution of symbolic
links in source_file arguments.
