all: be less strict about usage if POSIX 2008
sort, tail, and uniq now support traditional usage like 'sort +2' and 'tail +10' on systems conforming to POSIX 1003.1-2008 and later. * NEWS: Document this. * doc/coreutils.texi (Standards conformance, tail invocation) (sort invocation, uniq invocation, touch invocation): Document new behavior, or behavior's dependence on POSIX 1003.1-2001. * src/sort.c (struct keyfield.traditional_used): Rename from obsolete_used, since implementations are now allowed to support it. All uses changed. (main): Allow traditional usage if _POSIX2_VERSION is 200809. * src/tail.c (parse_obsolete_option): Distinguish between traditional usage (which POSIX 2008 and later allows) and obsolete (which it still does not). * src/uniq.c (strict_posix2): New function. (main): Allow traditional usage if _POSIX2_VERSION is 200809. * tests/misc/tail.pl: Test for new behavior.
