cp: improve status message when omitting directories
* src/copy.h (cp_options): Add a new flag for install(1). * src/copy.c (copy_internal): For cp, also output remediation advice which also indicates why directories aren't copied by default. The message is unchanged for install(1). * src/cp.c (cp_option_init): Init install_mode to false. * src/mv.c (cp_option_init): Likewise. * src/install.c (cp_option_init): Init install_mode to true. * tests/install/basic-1.sh: Add a test case. * tests/cp/link-deref.sh: Adjust test case. Fixes http://bugs.gnu.org/24958
