cp: fix the --no-preserve=mode option
The --no-preserve=mode option did not do what its name implies: it would mistakenly preserve permission mode bits. * NEWS: Mention the fix. * TODO: Remove an entry. * src/copy.c (copy_reg): Add a condition to properly handle the --no-preserve=mode option for files (copy_internal): Add a condition to properly handle the --no-preserve=mode option for directories. * src/copy.h (struct cp_options): Add a new boolean. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init,decode_preserve_arg): Set the new boolean value according to specified options. * src/install.c (struct cp_options): Initialize the new boolean. * src/mv.c (struct cp_options): Initialize the new boolean. * tests/cp/preserve-mode.sh: Add a new test. * tests/cp/link-preserve.sh (-a --no-preserve=mode): Adjust the expected perms: now, --no-preserve=mode overrides the --preserve=mode that is inherent in -a, as it should. * tests/local.mk: Add the new test to the list.

du no longer emits a "disk-corrupted"-style diagnostic when it detects
a directory cycle that is due to a bind-mounted directory. Instead,
it detects this precise type of cycle, diagnoses it as such and
