Fix a security race with "cp -p A B" when B already exists.
* src/copy.h (struct cp_options): New member owner_privileges. * src/copy.c (USE_ACL): Define to 0 if not defined, for convenience. (owner_failure_ok): New function. (set_owner): Avoid a security-related race by doing an extra chmod first if it looks like there might be trouble right after a chown. Accept a source struct stat rather than a uid and gid, and accept a boolean NEW_DST and destination struct stat. All callers changed. * src/copy.h (cp_options_default): New function, replacing the old chown_privileges. * src/copy.c (cp_options_default): Likewise. * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Use it. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise.
