cat,cp,mv,install,split: Set the minimum IO block size used to 32KiB
This is following on from this change: [02c3dc9d 2008-03-06 cat: use larger buffer sizes ...] which increased the IO block size used by cat by 8 times, but also capped it at 32KiB. * NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. * src/system.h: Add a new io_blksize() function that returns the max of ST_BLKSIZE or 32KiB, as this was seen as a good value for a minimum block size to use to get good performance while minimizing system call overhead. * src/cat.c: Use it. * src/copy.c: ditto * src/split.c: ditto
