mktemp: add suffix handling
Now that mkstemps is supported, we might as well use it. * src/mktemp.c (TMPDIR_OPTION): New enum value. (longopts): Add new option. (usage): Document it. (count_trailing_X_s): Rename... (count_consecutive_X_s): ...to this, and add parameter. (mkstemp_len, mkdtemp_len): Add parameter. (main): Implement new option. (AUTHORS): Add myself. * AUTHORS (mktemp): Likewise. * tests/misc/mktemp: Test new option. * doc/coreutils.texi (mktemp invocation): Document it. * NEWS: Likewise. Fixes http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=548316.

md5sum --check now also accepts openssl-style checksums.
So do sha1sum, sha224sum, sha384sum and sha512sum.
+ mktemp now accepts the option --suffix to provide a known suffix
+ after the substitution in the template. Additionally, uses such as
+ "mktemp fileXXXXXX.txt" are able to infer an appropriate --suffix.

touch now accepts the option --no-dereference (-h), as a means to
change symlink timestamps on platforms with enough support.
