Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* gnulib: Update to latest with copyright year adjusted.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.

<id>urn:sha1:08e8fd7e38f2dae7c69c54eb22d508b6517e66e5</id>
<content type='text'>
Quote file names using the "shell-escape" or "shell-escape-always"
methods, which quote as appropriate for most shells,
and better support copy and paste of presented names.
The "always" variant is used when the file name is
embedded in an error message with surrounding spaces.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_shell_quotes): A new syntax check rule
to suggest quotef() where appropriate.
(sc_error_shell_always_quotes): Likewise for quoteaf().
* src/system.h (quotef): A new define to apply shell quoting
when needed.  I.E. when shell character or ':' is present.
(quoteaf): Likewise, but always quote.
* src/*.c: Use quotef() and quoteaf() rather than quote()
where appropriate.
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.

<content type='text'>
These strings are often file names or other user specified
parameters, which can give confusing errors in
the presence of unexpected characters for example.

* cfg.mk (sc_error_quotes): A new syntax check rule.
* src/*.c: Wrap error() string arguments with quote().
* tests/: Adjust accordingly.
* NEWS: Mention the improvement.

<content type='text'>
* src/system.h (emit_stdin_note): A new function, refactoring
the usage note about the '-' FILE implying stdin.
* src/base64.c (usage): Use the new function to emit the
note in a standard location and with standard separation.
* src/cat.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/csplit.c (usage): Likewise.
* src/cut.c (usage): Likewise.

the message referring to FILE1 or FILE2 as stdin.
* src/comm.c (usage): Add a message using the same
wording (translation) as used in join.
* src/split.c (usage): Reword to using FILE rather than
INPUT, allowing use of emit_stdin_note().  Also remove
the mention of "fixed-size" pieces as this isn't now
always the case.

<content type='text'>
Following on from commit v8.23-82-gaddae94, consistently diagnose
numbers that are too large, so as to distinguish from other errors,
and make the limits obvious.

which handles the common case of parsing a bounded integer and
exiting with a diagnostic on error.
* gl/lib/xdectoimax.c: The signed variant.
* gl/lib/xdectoint.c: The parameterized implementation.
* gl/lib/xdectoint.h: The interface.
* gl/lib/xdectoumax.c: The unsigned variant.
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the new module.
* cfg.mk (exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_require_config_h_first):
Exclude the parameterized templates.
* src/csplit.c: Output EOVERFLOW or ERANGE errors if appropriate.
* src/fmt.c: Likewise.
* src/fold.c: Likewise.
* src/head.c: Likewise.

prefix is used.

<id>urn:sha1:4eaadb47430f21aee83eb920378be01945845a9a</id>
<content type='text'>
Each program with at least one long option which is marked as
'required_argument' and which has also a short option for that
option, should print a note about mandatory arguments.
Define that well-known note centrally and use it rather than
literal printf/fputs, and add it where it was missing.

* src/system.h (emit_mandatory_arg_note): Add new function.

* src/cp.c (usage): Use it rather than literal printf/fputs.
* src/csplit.c, src/cut.c, src/date.c, src/df.c, src/du.c:
* src/expand.c, src/fmt.c, src/fold.c, src/head.c, src/install.c:

* src/split.c, src/stdbuf.c, src/tac.c, src/tail.c, src/timeout.c:
* src/touch.c, src/truncate.c, src/unexpand.c, src/uniq.c:
Likewise.

* src/base64.c (usage): Add call of the above new function
because at least one long option has a required argument.
* src/basename.c, src/chcon.c, src/date.c, src/env.c:
* src/nice.c, src/runcon.c, src/seq.c, src/stat.c, src/stty.c:
Likewise.
