Different implementations of `nm` have different ways of telling you
that your file is not a valid object or library, but they all seem to
have “not recognized” as a common substring.

While lorder is not required by our current toolchain (or any toolchain
we've used in the past decade or two), it still occasionally shows up
in build systems of third party software, including The Open Group's
UNIX conformance test suite, and the maintenance cost is negligible.

* Properly parse (no) command-line options.
* Ensure that errors go to stderr and result in a non-zero exit.
* Drop the special-case code for a single argument, as it will produce
the wrong outcome if the file does not exist or is corrupted.
* Don't print anything until after we've collected all the data.
* Always create all temporary files before setting the trap. This
ensures that the trap can safely fire at any moment, regardless of any
previous definition of `T`.
* Use a temporary file rather than a pipe between `nm` and `sed` to
ensure proper termination if `nm` fails due to a missing or invalid
input.
* The check for self-referential entries was conditional on testing our
argument list against a regex looking for archives. This was a
needless and unreliable optimization; make the check unconditional.
* Document that lorder will not work properly if any of its inputs have
spaces in their name.

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.

lorder has not been used by the base system since 0e1e341b48 and
hasn't really been necessary for a very long time.

Use of lorder(1) is not required by contemporary linkers.
The GNU coreutils manual[1] has a good description of the use of lorder
and tsort:
This whole procedure has been obsolete since about 1980, because
Unix archives now contain a symbol table (traditionally built by
ranlib, now generally built by ar itself), and the Unix linker uses
the symbol table to effectively make multiple passes over an archive
file.
See 0e1e341b48 for some more details.

Previously they were skipped. lorder(1) serves no functional purpose
today but we might as well address this longstanding bug while it is
still in the tree.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
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.
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.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

As the name indicates, these are flags to pass to nm(1). The newer
binutils have a plugin mechanism so, to build something with LLVM's
LTO, we need to pass flags to nm(1). This commit also extends
lorder(1) to pass NMFLAGS to nm(1).
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.
