join,sort,uniq: with -z, treat '\n' as a field separator
* NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * doc/coreutils.texi (newlineFieldSeparator): A new description, referenced from ({join,sort,uniq} invocation). * src/system.h (field_sep): A new inline function to determine if a character is a field separator. * src/join.c (usage): s/whitespace/blank/ to be more accurate wrt which characters are field separators. (xfields): s/isblank/field_sep/. * src/sort.c (inittables): Likewise. * src/uniq.c (find_field): Likewise. * tests/misc/join.pl: Adjust -z test, and add a test/example for processing the whole record with field processing. * tests/misc/sort.pl: Add -z test cases, including case with '\n'. * tests/misc/uniq.pl: Add -z -f test case with \n.
