+ maint.mk: exempt trailing blanks found in "binary" files

+ maint.mk: sc_prohibit_path_max_allocation: don't FP for UNIX_PATH_MAX

+ maint.mk: teach sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit to accept 77
+ * top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_magic_number_exit): Do not complain about
+ uses like "exit (77)". "77" is automake's "skip this test" exit code.
+ It is not in the same category as "exit (0)" or "exit (1)", and
+ besides, I know of no symbolic name for that 77. Reported by
+ Richard W.M. Jones in

+ maint.mk: relax sc_prohibit_strcmp, to avoid a false positive
+ * top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_strcmp): Relax regexp, so as to match
+ all uses of #define, not just those that start in column 1.
+ Richard W.M. Jones reported a false positive in
+ http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.guestfs/1902

+ localcharset: work around Mac OS X bug with UTF-8 and MB_CUR_MAX
+ * lib/localcharset.c (locale_charset) [DARWIN7]:
+ Return "ASCII" if the system reports "UTF-8" and MB_CUR_MAX <= 1,
+ as these two values are incompatible. Problem reported by Max Horn.

+ poll: fix poll(0, NULL, msec)
+ * lib/poll.c: don't exit early if NULL is the 1st arg to poll(),
+ but nfd is 0. In that case poll should behave like select.

+ fts: reduce two or more trailing spaces to just one, usually
+ * lib/fts.c (fts_open): Upon initialization, if a name ends in two
+ or more slashes, trim all but the final one. But if a name consists
+ solely of two slashes, don't modify it. If it consists solely of
+ three or more slashes, strip all but one.
+
+ This is part of the solution to a minor problem with rm:
+ it would print a bogus ELOOP diagnostic when failing to remove
+ the slash-decorated name of a symlink-to-directory:
+
+ $ mkdir d && ln -s d s && env rm -r s/
+ rm: cannot remove 's': Too many levels of symbolic links
+
+ With the change below and a trivial don't-trim-trailing-slashes
+ adjustment to remove.c, it does this:
+
+ $ env rm -r s/
+ rm: cannot remove 's/': Not a directory
+
+ Improved by: Eric Blake

fts: when there is no risk of overlap, use memcpy, not memmove
* lib/fts.c (fts_alloc): Fix unjustified memcopy: s/memmove/memcpy/
