6bdfbc4cb5 libbb: fix '--help' handling in FEATURE_SH_NOFORK=y
Most BusyBox applets respond to the '--help' option by printing
a usage message.  This is normally handled by busybox_main() so
applet main routines don't have support for '--help'.

In standalone shell mode with FEATURE_SH_NOFORK enabled nofork
applets are invoked directly, bypassing busybox_main().  This
results in inconsistent handling of '--help':

- applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'"
  and print help anyway;

- realpath says "--help: No such file or directory" and doesn't
  print help;

- usleep says "invalid number '--help'" and doesn't print help.

Avoid inconsistency by checking for '--help' in run_nofork_applet().

Bug found by Ron Yorston.

59120c3303 libbb: code shrink and speed up find_applet_by_name()
find_applet_by_name() determines the appropriate range of applet
indices to check for the given name and performs a linear search in
applet_names[].

Revise the code so the index of the upper bound of the range, 'max',
isn't calculated.  Instead check the value of the first non-matching
character to see if we've reached the end of the range.

This new code speeds up the time to find a valid applet name by 6%
and halves the time to detect that a given name is invalid.  The
average time to detect an invalid name is now the same as for a valid
one.

6937487be7 libbb: reduce the overhead of single parameter bb_error_msg() calls
Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().

This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.

Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.

This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.

The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):

Arm:     -92 bytes
MIPS:    -52 bytes
PPC:   -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes

Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

71df2d3589 hush: allow hush to run embedded scripts
Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary.  Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.

The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.

3778898f97 Treat custom and applet scripts as applets
BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts.  Two types can be
distinguished:  custom scripts and scripts implementing applets.

Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build
time.  They are given a default applet configuration and appear
as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible.

Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and
are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen
to be implemented as scripts.  They can be configured at build time
and appear just like native applets.

Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory.  A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory.  It may be
helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the
script requires:  see the 'nologin' applet for an example.

4f2ef4a836 ash: allow shell scripts to be embedded in the binary
To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient
to embed them in the BusyBox binary.

'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory
'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them
and embeds them in the binary.

When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism.

embed/nologin is provided as an example.

12a4f9afe7 libbb: do not die if setgid/setuid(real_id) on startup fails
Based on a patch from Steven McDonald <steven@steven-mcdonald.id.au>:

This makes 'unshare --user' work correctly in the case where the user's
shell is provided by busybox itself.

'unshare --user' creates a new user namespace without any uid mappings.
As a result, /bin/busybox is setuid nobody:nogroup within the
namespace, as that is the only user. However, since no uids are mapped,
attempting to call setgid/setuid fails, even though this would do
nothing:

  $ unshare --user ./busybox.broken ash
  ash: setgid: Invalid argument

'unshare --map-root-user' still works, but because Linux only allows
uid/gid mappings to be set up once, creating a root mapping makes such
a namespace useless for creating multi-user containers.

With this patch, setgid and setuid will not be called in the case where
they would do nothing, which is always the case inside a new user
namespace because all uids are effectively mapped to nobody:

  $ id -u
  1000
  $ ls -lh busybox.fixed
  -rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root      826.2K May 21 00:33 busybox.fixed
  $ unshare --user ./busybox.fixed ash
  $ id -u

215b0ca6e4 hush: fix a bug in FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE=y config. Closes 9186
Run this in a "sh SCRIPT":

sha256sum /dev/null
echo END

sha256sum is a NOEXEC applet. It runs in a forked child. Then child exit()s.
By this time, entire script is read, and buffered in a FILE object
from fopen("SCRIPT"). But fgetc() did not consume entire input.
exit() lseeks back by -9 bytes, from <eof> to 'e' in 'echo'.
(this may be libc-specific).
This change of fd position *is shared with the parent*!

Now parent can read more, and it thinks there is another "echo END".
End result: two "echo END"s are run.

Fix this by _exit()ing instead.
