src-test2/lib/libutil/stat_flags.c, branch stable/4

Historically file flags (schg, uschg, etc) have been converted from

string to u_long and back using two functions, flags_to_string and string_to_flags, which co-existed with 'ls'. As time has progressed more and more other tools have used these private functions to manipulate the file flags. Recently I moved these functions from /usr/src/bin/ls to libutil, but after some discussion with bde it's been decided that they really ought to go in libc. There are two already existing libc functions for manipulating file modes: setmode and getmode. In keeping with these flags_to_string has been renamed getflags and string_to_flags to setflags. The manual page could probably be improved upon ;)

This source is referenced by install which is needed as a build tool and must be able to compile against NetBSD headers and libraries if we have a hope of supporting another architecture. With this change, that's two working programs down and 3945 (?) to go. The other one was make, but that didn't need any changes to work under FreeBSD/Alpha. 8-)

These changes add the ability to specify that a UFS file/directory cannot be unlinked. This is basically a scaled back version of the IMMUTABLE flag. The reason is to allow an administrator to create a directory hierarchy that a group of users can arbitrarily add/delete files from, but that the hierarchy itself is safe from removal by them. If the NOUNLINK definition is set to 0 then this results in no change to what happens normally. (and results in identical binary (in the kernel)). It can be proven that if this bit is never set by the admin, no new behaviour is introduced.. Several "good idea" comments from reviewers plus one grumble about creeping featurism. This code is in production in 2.2 based systems
