fixes for installing into a case insensitive $DESTDIR
when files may have hard links to a a name that only differs by case
- change install to unconditionally remove its temporary file
when installing hard links with -r. This avoids problems when
built with posix rename(2) semantics and reinstalling an existing
hard link.
- rework hard link targets in bsd.man.mk and bsd.links.mk
to use makefile constructs instead of shell constructs
- always reinstall hard links that may have case conflicts, even
when MKUPDATE=yes, this ensures that they get added to METALOG
- remove man pages which were hard linked to themselves in libform
- remove improper hard link command for existing man page in libkrb5
- fix libl's makefile to include bsd.lib.mk at end
- remove shell quoting in link target for test's [.1 man page

Remove unnecessary Tn.

I have seen (way too often) uses of test(1) that are not defined to
actually work (but just happen to, today, and in some cases, even
that trusts to some luck.)

It has been recently pointed out to me that the man page (ie: this
file) doesn't give any real guidance to what is really acceptable,
and what is not.

The CAVEATS section does note that the grammar is ambiguous, but then
just says that test(1) implements what POSIX requires, and refers
readers to the relevant section of the POSIX standard for more details.
That is probably asking too much of the average reader...

So, add some extra information in the CAVEATS with what is defined to work,
and what should be avoided. Not all of the POSIX rules are here, but this
might hopefully help script authors avoid some of the pitfalls.

Make test(1) always use the POSIX "number of args" evaluation rules
when they apply.

Only fall back to the old expression evaluation when there are more
than 4 args, or when the args given cannot work as a test expression
using the POSIX rules. That is when the result is unspecified.

Also fix old bug where a string of whitespace is considered to be a
valid number (at least one digit is needed amongst it somewhere...)

PR/36534: Greg A. Woods: test(1) doesn't do -r and -w quite right
Use stat(2) instead of access(2) per POSIX.

Make sure we don't run over the end of the argument array while scanning
for input. This can happen if we have a unary not without an argument. When
we scan for the argument, we are already at the NULL element of the argument
array. Then when we scan ahead for a -a or -o, we end up testing the next
element after the NULL.

PR/36092: B K: algorithmic inefficiency in bin/test/test.c:t_lex
test(1) scans for "operators" linearly in an array using strcmp() to
find a match. Since the list of "operators" is fixed, split them
into one and two character ones, and ones that start with a `-' and
ones they don't. This way we can optimize the compare function to
just check for one or two characters. Sort and use bsearch(3). We
could have used a single sorted array and bsearch(3), to save some
complexity, but I decided to be a bit fancier.
