dd: new option, status=none to suppress output statistics
* src/dd.c (STATUS_NONE): A new bitmask combining all STATUS_ options, thus used to suppress all informational output. (struct symbol_value statuses): Expose the "none" option, corresponding to the STATUS_NONE bitmask above. (print_stats): Return early if STATUS_NONE is specified. Also move the call to gethrxtime() down so that it's only called when needed. (usage): Describe the new options. * doc/coreutils.texi (dd invocation): Likewise. * NEWS: Mention the new feature. * tests/dd/misc.sh: Ensure the new option works.
