copy: fix possible infinite loop with SEEK_HOLE

Commit v9.8-95-g4c0cf3864 intended to initialize
ext_start to src_pos, as was described at:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2025-11/msg00035.html
However ipos was inadvertently used, which is only
valid the first time through the loop.

du: add the short option -A corresponding to --apparent-size

The --apparent-size option to 'du' was added in
coreutils-4.5.8 (2003). FreeBSD 8.0 (2009) added the same functionality
under the short option -A. This long option previously had no short
option, so this patch adds -A to be compatible with FreeBSD.

* NEWS: Mention the new short option.
* doc/coreutils.texi: Document the short option.
* src/du.c (usage): Likewise.
(APPARENT_SIZE_OPTION): Remove definition.
(EXCLUDE_OPTION): Define to CHAR_MAX + 1.
(long_options): Use the -A short option for --apparent-size.
(main): Likewise.
* tests/du/apparent.sh: Test that '-b', '-A -B 1', and
'--apparent-size --block-size 1' function the same.
