df: do not treat rootfs specially
Like any other pseudo file system, df should show rootfs only when the -a option is specified, i.e. specifying -trootfs alone is not sufficient. As the rootfs entry is now elided by the general deduplication in filter_mount_list (commit v8.20-103-gbb116d3), all other references to rootfs can be removed again. * src/df.c (show_rootfs): Remove global variable. (ROOTFS): Remove constant. (filter_mount_list): Remove case to handle rootfs specially. (main): In the case for handling the -t option, remove setting of the show_rootfs variable. * tests/df/skip-rootfs.sh: Adapt the test case "df -t rootfs": the rootfs file system must not be printed (because no -a). * doc/coreutils.texi (df invocation): Correct the documentation about eliding mount entries: it is not the first occurrence of the the device which wins, but now rather the entry with the shortest mount point name. Also adapt the description about eliding pseudo file system types like rootfs. * NEWS (Changes in behavior): Adapt entry.

df now properly outputs file system information with bind mounts present on
the system by skipping duplicate entries (identified by the device number).
-
- df now elides any entry with the early-boot pseudo file system type
- "rootfs" unless either the -a option or "-t rootfs" is specified.
+ Consequently, df also elides the early-boot pseudo file system type "rootfs".
nl no longer supports the --page-increment option, which has been
deprecated since coreutils-7.5. Use --line-increment instead.
