FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG made dependent on LONG_OPTS.
The folloving options are removed, now LONG_OPTS enables long options
for affected applets:
FEATURE_ENV_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_EXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_UNEXPAND_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_MKDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_MV_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_RMDIR_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_ADDGROUP_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_ADDUSER_LONG_OPTIONS
FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_NSENTER_LONG_OPTS
FEATURE_CHCON_LONG_OPTIONS FEATURE_RUNCON_LONG_OPTIONS
They either had a small number of long options, or their long options are
essential.
Example: upstream addgroup and adduser have ONLY longopts,
we should probably go further and get rid
of non-standard short options.
To this end, make addgroup and adduser "select LONG_OPTS".
We had this breakage caused by us even in our own package!
#if ENABLE_LONG_OPTS || !ENABLE_ADDGROUP
/* We try to use --gid, not -g, because "standard" addgroup
* has no short option -g, it has only long --gid.
*/
argv[1] = (char*)"--gid";
#else
/* Breaks if system in fact does NOT use busybox addgroup */
argv[1] = (char*)"-g";
#endif
xargs: its lone longopt no longer depends on DESKTOP, only on LONG_OPTS.
hwclock TODO: get rid of incompatible -t, -l aliases to --systz, --localtime
Shorten help texts by omitting long option when short opt alternative exists.
Reduction of size comes from the fact that store of an immediate
(an address of longopts) to a fixed address (global variable)
is a longer insn than pushing that immediate or passing it in a register.
This effect is CPU-agnostic.

The applets with "<applet> [opts] PROG ARGS" API very quickly exec
another program, noexec is okay for them:
chpst/envdir/envuidgid/softlimit/setuidgid
chroot
chrt
ionice
nice
nohup
setarch/linux32/linux64
taskset
cttyhack
"reset" and "sulogin" applets don't have this form, but also exec
another program at once, thus made noexec too.

With Linux 4.3, a new set of capabilities has been introduced with the
ambient capabilities. These aim to solve the problem that it was
impossible to grant run programs with elevated privileges across
non-root users. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities that are preserved across an execve(2)
of a program that is not privileged. The ambient capability set
obeys the invariant that no capability can ever be ambient if it is
not both permitted and inheritable.
With this new set of capabilities it is now possible to run an
executable with elevated privileges as a different user, making it much
easier to do proper privilege separation.
Note though that the `--ambient-caps` switch is not part of any released
version of util-linux, yet. It has been applied in 0c92194ee (setpriv:
support modifying the set of ambient capabilities, 2017-06-24) and will
probably be part of v2.31.

The main use case of setpriv is to modify the current state of
privileges available to the calling process and spawn a new executable
with the modified, new state. Next to the already supported case of
modifying the no-new-privs flag, util-linux also supports to modify
capability sets.
This commit introduces to add or drop capabilities from the set of
inheritable capabilities. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities preserved across an execve(2).
Inheritable capabilities remain inheritable when executing any
program, and inheritable capabilities are added to the permitted set
when executing a program that has the corresponding bits set in the
file inheritable set.
As such, inheritable capabilities enable executing files with certain
privileges if the file itself has these privileges set. Note though that
inheritable capabilities are dropped across execve when running as a
non-root user.
