On Alpine, some users use /dev/null as a home directory. When removing
such a user with `deluser --remove-home` this causes the /dev/null
device file to be removed which is undesirable. To prevent this pitfall,
check if the home directory specified for the user is an actual
directory (or a symlink to a directory).
Implementations of similar tools for other operating systems also
implement such checks. For instance, the OpenBSD rmuser(1)
implementation [0].

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.

Between Busybox 1.24.2 and 1.25.0 the bb_info_msg() function was
eliminated and calls to it changed to be bb_error_msg(). The downside of
this is that daemons now log all messages to syslog at the LOG_ERR level
which makes it hard to filter errors from informational messages.
This change optionally re-introduces bb_info_msg(), controlled by a new
option FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO, restores all the calls to bb_info_msg() that
were removed (only in applets that set logmode to LOGMODE_SYSLOG or
LOGMODE_BOTH), and also changes informational messages in ifplugd and
ntpd.
The code size change of this is as follows (using 'defconfig' on x86_64
with gcc 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)

Crashed on call to free(orig) during cleanup.
Fix regression from commit 17058a06c4
Root user never changes the orig pointer, so when cleaning up, passwd tried to
free orig=(char*)""
Example: sudo passwd $USER
Changing password for xxx

Bad password: too short
Retype password:

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.
