du: don't infloop for --files0-from=DIR
* src/du.c (main): Fail on AI_ERR_READ error, rather than merely diagnosing and continuing. Based on a patch by Stefan Vargyas. Also move the handling of AI_ERR_EOF into the case stmt. Do not report ferror/fclose(stdin) failure when we've already diagnosed e.g., failure to read the DIR, above. Bug introduced by 2008-11-24 commit 031e2fb5, "du: read and process --files0-from= input a name at a time,". * src/wc.c: Handle read failure as with du: do not exit immediately, but rather go on to print any total and to clean-up. As above, move the handling of AI_ERR_EOF into the case stmt. * tests/du/files0-from-dir: New file, to test both du and wc. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it. * NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
