provide POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL hint to appropriate utils

Following on from commit dae35bac, 01-03-2010,
"sort: inform the system about our input access pattern"
apply the same hint to all appropriate utils.
This currently gives around a 5% speedup for reading
large files from fast flash devices on GNU/Linux.
