Philipp Thomas 49b16878b2 - Update to 8.16:
- Improvements:
  * As a GNU extension, 'chmod', 'mkdir', and 'install' now accept
    operators '-', '+', '=' followed by octal modes;
  * Also, ordinary numeric modes with five or more digits no longer
    preserve setuid and setgid bits, so that 'chmod 00755 FOO' now
    clears FOO's setuid and setgid bits.
  * dd now accepts the count_bytes, skip_bytes iflags and the
    seek_bytes oflag, to more easily allow processing portions of a
    file.
  * dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
    output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.
  * ln now accepts the --relative option, to generate a relative
    symbolic link to a target, irrespective of how the target is
    specified.
  * split now accepts an optional "from" argument to
    --numeric-suffixes, which changes the start number from the
    default of 0.
  * split now accepts the --additional-suffix option, to append an
    additional static suffix to output file names.
  * basename now supports the -a and -s options, which allow
    processing of more than one argument at a time.  Also the
    complementary -z option was added to delimit output items with
    the NUL character.
  * dirname now supports more than one argument. Also the complementary
    z option was added to delimit output items with the NUL character.
  - Bug fixes
  * du --one-file-system (-x) would ignore any non-directory
    specified on the command line. For example, "touch f; du -x f"
    would print nothing. [bug introduced in coreutils-8.15]
  * mv now lets you move a symlink onto a same-inode destination
    file that has two or more hard links.
  * "mv A B" could succeed, yet A would remain.
  * realpath no longer mishandles a root directory.
  - Improvements
  * ls can be much more efficient, especially with large directories
    on file systems for which getfilecon-, ACL-check- and XATTR-
    check-induced syscalls fail with ENOTSUP or similar.
 * 'realpath --relative-base=dir' in isolation now implies
    '--relative-to=dir' instead of causing a usage failure.
 * split now supports an unlimited number of split files as default
   behavior.
 For a detaild list se NEWS in the documentation.
- Add up-to-date german translation.

- Add two upstream patches that speed up ls (bnc#752943):
  * Cache (l)getfilecon calls to avoid the vast majority of the failing
    underlying getxattr syscalls.
  * Avoids always-failing queries for whether a file has a nontrivial
    ACL and for whether a file has certain "capabilities".

Diff

While uid_t and gid_t are both unsigned, the values (uid_t) -1 and
(gid_t) -1 are reserved. A uid or gid argument of -1 to the chown(2)
system call means to leave the uid/gid unchanged. Catch this case
so that trying to set a uid or gid to -1 will result in an error.
Test cases:
chown 4294967295 file
chown :4294967295 file
chgrp 4294967295 file
