Johannes Schindelin 3bef5d89b0 ash: implement -d DELIM option for read ...

The POSIX standard only requires the read builtin to handle -r:

However, Bash introduced the option -d <DELIM> to override IFS for
just one invocation, and it is quite useful.

It is also super easy to implement in BusyBox' ash, so let's do that.

The motivation: This option is used by Git's test suite.
