md5sum, sha1sum, etc: accept new option: --strict
Use this new option with --check when the input is expected to consist solely of checksum lines. With only --check, an invalid line evokes a warning, but the program can still exit successfully. With --strict, any invalid line makes the program exit non-zero. * src/md5sum.c (strict, STRICT_OPTION): Declare/define. (long_options): Add "strict". (usage): Describe --strict. (digest_check): Count improperly_formatted lines, too, and use that number and the global "strict" to determine the return value. (main): Handle STRICT_OPTION. Reject --strict without --check. * doc/coreutils.texi: Describe it. * NEWS (New features): Mention it.

Note the use of single quotes, not double quotes.
That creates files named xaa.xz, xab.xz and xac.xz.
+ md5sum accepts the new --strict option. With --check, it makes the
+ tool exit non-zero for any invalid input line, rather than just warning.
+ This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.

** Improvements
shuf outputs small subsets of large permutations much more efficiently.
