sort: fix parsing of end field in obsolescent key formats
This regression was introduced in commit 224a69b5, 2009-02-24, "sort: Fix two bugs with determining the end of field". The specific regression being that we include 1 field too many when an end field is specified using obsolescent key syntax (+POS -POS). * src/sort.c (struct keyfield): Clarify the description of the eword member, as suggested by Alan Curry. (main): When processing obsolescent format key specifications, normalize eword to a zero based count when no specific end char is given for an end field. This matches what's done when keys are specified with -k. * tests/misc/sort: Add a few more tests for the obsolescent key formats, with test 07i being the particular failure addressed by this change. * THANKS: Add Alan Curry who precisely identified the issue. * NEWS: Mention the fix.
