gnulib: update for getcwd fix on systems without openat
This fixes a bug in pwd and all getcwd-using applications (for some uses: df, readlink, stat) when run from a directory whose absolute name contains more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. For more details, see http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/commit/?id=f6fe351fc534ae1 * gnulib: Update. * NEWS (Improvements): Mention it.

md5sum --check now supports the -r format from the corresponding BSD tool.
This also affects sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
+ pwd now works also on systems without openat. On such systems, pwd
+ would fail when run from a directory whose absolute name contained
+ more than PATH_MAX / 3 components. Also affected due to their use
+ of canonicalize_* functions: df, stat, readlink.

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.13 (2011-09-08) [stable]
