readlink: support multiple command line arguments
This allows efficient processing of multiple files, while also increasing compatibility with BSD's readlink(1). We also add the -z, --zero option to delimit output items with the NUL character which disambiguates output in the presence of '\n' characters. * src/readlink.c (usage): Add the --zero description, and also adjust the description of --no-newline accordingly. (main): Handle the -z option and iterate over multiple arguments. Also as in commit v8.15-24-g9d46b25 we use fputs() and putchar() rather than printf() for performance reasons. * doc/coreutils.texi (readlink invocation): Document the new --zero option, adjust the --no-newline description, and tweak the general info to indicate multiple files are supported. * tests/readlink/multi.sh: A new test for the new functionality. * tests/local.mk: Reference the new test. * man/readlink.x: Adjust the summary and also reference realpath. * NEWS: Mention the improvement. * THANKS.in: Suggested by Aaron Davies.
