This was prompted by noticing that '/var/db/portsnap' still exists on
newly-installed machines.
With this change, all mentions of portsnap(8) in the tree are gone,
except for the historical note in the AUTHORS section of manpage
phttpget(8).
locate(1) will thus start indexing again '/var/db/portsnap' on machines
where this directory still exists, which may be a good way to push
administrators to delete it.

We've ifdef'd out the copyright strings for some time now. Go ahead and
remove the ifdefs. Plus whatever other detritis was left over from other
recent removals. These copyright strings are present in the comments and
are largely from CSRG's attempt at adding their copyright to every
binary file (which modern interpretations of the license doesn't
require).

Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

An empty database is a database which does not contain any filenames.
It should not occur in practice but maybe in the case of an error.
echo | /usr/libexec/locate.mklocatedb > empty.db; locate -d empty.db -S
For historical reasons, the integer is stored with an offset of plus 14.
That means, for a given max path length of 1024 the valid values
are -1009 .. 1037 and not -1023 .. 1023

- remove unnecessary checks
- use mktemp

By default BSD sort(1) uses 90% (or at least 50%?) of the available
main memory. That is good for performance for a single job, but not
for a shared OS. For a long running script the performance is less
important than the stability of the server. Also, if a server
with 64GB RAM starts swapping, the performance goes south and
hurts other running applications.
Note: this change does not affect the weekly cron job to
rebuild the locate database. The FreeBSD locate.updatedb
use the -presort option (find -s)
This fixes an integer overflow for very large partitions around 35 billion
filenames (>2PB). However, in an artificially worst case it may occurs
by only 17 mio filenames on a partition.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.
