Busybox already uses sendfile in httpd. This patch proposes to use it
globally to copy data between file descriptors.
It speeds up the copying on slow systems a lot - below are the times needed
to copy a 450Mb file with and without this option enabled on a BeagleBone
Black:
sendfile:
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m8.170s
read/write 4k:
user 0m0.470s
sys 0m16.300s

Sometimes ARG_MAX is small (like 32k) yet sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)
is big, and people prefer using the bigger value.
OTOH, with sufficiently large ARG_MAX, further wins from
sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) being bigger are exponentially smaller:
you can see 4 times fewer fork+execs when you run find, but
when each execed process already takes a thousand parameters
it's likely execution time is dominated by what that process
does with each parameter.
Thus, with this change ARG_MAX is used if it's sufficiently big,
otherwise sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX) is used.

This makes "G" (goto end of input) command work as well as
/search_for_nonexistent_string: both will read to EOF now
even from somewhat slow input (such as kernel's "git log").

It is not clear why we were excluding init from this.
The "getpid() != 1" clause was there from the beginning (2001)
but not explained.

It is an interesting trick, but so far I only managed to make it work
correctly, not to make it faster and/or smaller.
The code is ifdefed out for now.

The find utility uses a hardcoded value of 32 * 1024 as the limit of
the command-line length when calling 'find -exec ... {} +'. This results
in over 4 times more execve() calls than in coreutils' find.
This patch uses the limit defined in system headers.

When you build with FEATURE_INSTALLER disabled, you get a build
warning like so:

Currently, sed pre-opens all files, which may cause EMFILE errors
on systems with low ulimit -n. Change sed to open one file at a time.
