The loop
for (j = ARRAY_SIZE(applet_nameofs)-1; j >= 0; j--) {
was intended to terminate when j goes negative, so j needs to be signed.

The array applet_nameofs consumes two bytes per applet. It encodes
nofork/noexec flags
suid flags
the offset of the applet name in the applet_name string
Change the applet_table build tool to store the flags in two separate
arrays (applet_flags and applet_suid). Replace applet_nameofs[] with a
smaller version that only stores a limited number of offsets.
This requires changes to the macros APPLET_IS_NOFORK, APPLET_IS_NOEXEC
and APPLET_SUID.
According to Valgrind the original find_applet_by_name required
353 cycles per call, averaged over all names. Adjusting the number
of known offsets allows space to be traded off against execution time:
KNOWN_OFFSETS cycles bytes (wrt KNOWN_OFFSETS = 0)
0 9057 -
2 4604 32
4 2407 75
8 1342 98
16 908 130
32 884 194
This patch uses KNOWN_OFFSETS = 8.
v2:
Remove some dead code from the applet_table tool;
Treat the applet in the middle of the table as a special case.
v3:
Use the middle applet to adjust the start of the linear search as
well as the last applet found.
v4:
Use an augmented linear search in find_applet_by_name.
Drop the special treatment of the middle name from get_applet_name:
most of the advantage now derives from the last stored value.
v5:
Don't store index in applet_nameofs, it can be calculated.
v6:

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

When you build with FEATURE_INSTALLER disabled, you get a build
warning like so:
libbb/appletlib.c: In function 'busybox_main':
libbb/appletlib.c:691:7: warning: variable 'use_symbolic_links' set but
not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]

Existing copyright notice for binary would need to be longer to achieve
optimal accuracy. This compromise punts to the source for full notices,
but does note the years of the copyrights and that there are many authors,
all licensing under GPLv2.

This change retains "or later" state! No licensing _changes_ here,
only form is adjusted (article, space between "GPL" and "v2" and so on).
