01755d36e7 maint: update all copyright year number ranges
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Manually update copyright year,
until we fully sync with gnulib at a later stage.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.

e3d6035938 doc: README: split out ancillary information
The README was becoming too long and contained
quite a bit of info only pertaining to rarely used systems, so...

* README: Split out install specific info to README-install.
Also remove a few stale lines, and reorder a few items.
* README-install: A new file split from README.
* Makefile.am [EXTRA_DIST]: Explicitly reference new README-install
file for distribution, since automake only auto adds README.
* TODO: Reference the HPUX info now in README-install.

f65cafd67b expr: support arbitrary-precision arithmetic
* src/Makefile.am (expr_LDADD): Link expr against GNU MP.
* doc/coreutils.texi (expr invocation): Describe --bignum,
--no-bignum.   Explain the new arbitrary-precision functionality.
* NEWS: Indicate that arbitrary-precision arithmetic is now
supported in expr.
* src/expr.c (enum valtype): Added mp_integer, signifying a GNU MP
number.
(usage): Document the new options --bignum and --no-bignum which
force and prohibit the use of arbitrary-precision arithmetic,
respectively.
(long_options): data structure for getopt_long, which we need to
use to parse the options mentioned above.
(main): parse these options with getopt_long instead of
parse_long_options.
(valinfo): Downgrade the numeric member of the union from
intmax_t to signed long, since MP lacks functions for promoting an
intmax_t to an arbitrary-precision quantity.
(enum arithmetic_mode): Represents the current choice between
--bignum, --no-bignum and the default (automatically switch from
one to the other if needed).
(integer_overflow): issue a more explicit error message indicating
that MP is not available.
(string_too_long): new function, emits a fatal error message for
the case where an argument to the 'index' expression is too long
for a string offset to be represented.
(int_value): With --bignum, create the value as mp_integer rather
than plain integer.
(substr_value): factored out of eval6; implements "substr".
(freev): also destroy mp_integer values.  Check that no mp_integer
values exist if --no-bignum was specified.
(printv, null, tostring): support mp_integer.
(toint): new funtion for converting from string or mp_integer to
integer.
(getsize): extracts a size_t value from a VALUE object; used to
implement substr.
(promote): promotes a value from integer to mp_integer.
(domult, dodivide): functions for multiplication and division,
factored out of eval4.
(doadd): addition/subraction function, factpred out of eval3.
(eval3): support mp_integer types; call doadd.
(eval4): support mp_integer types; call domult, dodivide.
(eval6): support mp_integer offsets and lengths for "substr" and
"index".
* TODO: Mention that expr supports arbitrary-precision arithmetic,
and suggest that this might also be a good idea for seq.

(factor_wheel): Renamed; was called factor.
(print_factors_single): Renamed; was called print_factors.

arbitrary-precision algorithms according to availability of GNU MP
and the length of the number to be factored.

options for the MP implementation and update the performance
numbers to take into account the asymptotically faster algorithm.
