Avoid a shell bug in Tru64 4.0 sh's handling of double-quoted strings.
[patch by Paul Eggert] * tests/chmod/c-option: When double-quoting part of a word, prefer to double-quote the whole word. This is a bit easier to read (at least for me), and in some cases it avoids a shell bug with Tru64 4.0 sh reported by Nelson H. F. Beebe. For example, instead of "$abs_srcdir"/../setgid-check we now write "$abs_srcdir/../setgid-check". * tests/cp/cp-parents: Likewise. * tests/du/inaccessible-cwd: Likewise. * tests/du/long-from-unreadable: Likewise. * tests/install/basic-1: Likewise. * tests/install/trap: Likewise. * tests/misc/close-stdout: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/concurrent-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-1: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/p-3: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/parents: Likewise. * tests/mkdir/perm: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-e: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-f: Likewise. * tests/readlink/can-m: Likewise. * tests/rm/inaccessible: Likewise. * tests/rm/unread3: Likewise. * tests/touch/no-create-missing: Likewise. * lib/.cvsignore: Add uinttostr.c.
