cp -p now clears special bits if it fails to preserve owner or group
* NEWS: Document the cp -p fix for special bits.
* src/copy.c (set_owner): Now returns a three-way result, so
that the caller can clear the special bits. All callers changed.
(copy_reg): Don't set the special bits if chown failed.
(copy_internal): Likewise.
* tests/cp/special-bits: Test this fix.
