ls: use statx instead of stat when available
statx allows ls to indicate interest in only certain inode metadata.
This is potentially a win on networked/clustered/distributed
file systems. In cases where we'd have to do a full, heavyweight stat()
call we can now do a much lighter statx() call.
As a real-world example, consider a file system like CephFS where one
client is actively writing to a file and another client does an
ls --color in the same directory. --color means that we need to fetch
the mode of the file.
Doing that with a stat() call means that we have to fetch the size and
mtime in addition to the mode. The MDS in that situation will have to
revoke caps in order to ensure that it has up-to-date values to report,
which disrupts the writer.
This has a measurable affect on performance. I ran a fio sequential
write test on one cephfs client and had a second client do "ls --color"
in a tight loop on the directory that held the file:

When calling 'stat -c %N' to print the filename, don't explicitly

areadlink_with_size(), or internal retries if buffer is too small.

doc: clarify dd sparse detection is by *output* block
The wording of the dd --help text suggests that output will be skipped
for sparse *input* blocks (i.e. that NUL-checking is done on input
blocks) while the code actually checks/skips all-NUL *output* blocks.[1]
* src/dd.c (usage): Update the --help text to clarify the above.
* tests/dd/sparse.sh: Ensure sparseness is controlled with obs.

b2sum: port to HP-UX aCC
Its support for the -include option is flaky. Problem reported by
Michael Osipov (Bug#35650). Plus, we could run into other
compilers that don’t support any option like -include. Change the
code so that -include is not needed. Although this causes us to
depart from the upstream version, we’re already doing that for
other reasons.
* configure.ac (USE_XLC_INCLUDE): Remove, as there’s no
guarantee a compiler will support something like -include.
* src/blake2/b2sum.c [HAVE_CONFIG_H]: Include <config.h>.
* src/local.mk (src_b2sum_CPPFLAGS): Add -DHAVE_CONFIG_H.
Do not use -include or a substitute.

b2sum: port to HP-UX C
* src/blake2/blake2.h (BLAKE2_PACKED):
Don’t assume __attribute__ ((packed)) works on non-Microsoft
compilers. Instead, assume it works only if we have good
reason to assume so, and fall back on Microsoft (or not packing)
otherwise. In practice, not packing is good enough and the
BLAKE2_PACKED macro is mostly just for documentation.
