Paul Eggert 2dddc87214 maint: spelling fixes, including author names
Most of this just affects commentary and documentations.  The only
significant behavior change is translating author names via
proper_name_lite rather than proper_name_utf8, or not translating
them at all.  proper_name_lite is good enough for coreutils and
avoids the bloat that had coreutils not using Gnulib proper_name.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Use propername-lite instead
of propername.
(XGETTEXT_OPTIONS): Look for proper_name_lite instead of for
proper_name_utf8.

* src/remove.c (prompt, rm_fts): In the dir-handling code of both of

to instead test only "get_dir_status (...) != 0", enabling flow control

that function itself also needed special handling for this case:
(prompt): Handle empty, inaccessible directories properly,
deleting them with -d (--dir), and prompting about whether to delete
with -i (--interactive).

Paul Eggert eb7841426c rm: fix diagnostics on I/O error
I ran into this problem when attempting to recursively
remove a directory in a filesystem on flaky hardware.
Although the underlying readdir syscall failed with errno == EIO,
rm issued no diagnostic about the I/O error.

Without this patch I see this behavior:

  $ rm -fr baddir
  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Directory not empty
  $ rm -ir baddir
  rm: descend into directory 'baddir'? y
  rm: remove directory 'baddir'? y
  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Directory not empty

With this patch I see the following behavior, which
lets the user know about the I/O error when rm tries
to read baddir's directory entries:

  $ rm -fr baddir
  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Input/output error
  $ rm -ir baddir
  rm: cannot remove 'baddir': Input/output error

* src/remove.c (Ternary): Remove.  All uses removed.
(get_dir_status): New static function.
(prompt): Last arg is now directory status, not ternary.
Return RM_USER_ACCEPTED if user explicitly accepted.
All uses changed.
Report any significant error in directory status right away.
(prompt, rm_fts): Use get_dir_status to get directory status lazily.
(excise): Treat any FTS_DNR errno as being more descriptive, not
just EPERM and EACCESS.  For example, EIO is more descriptive.
(rm_fts): Distinguish more clearly between explicit and implied
user OK.
* src/remove.h (RM_USER_ACCEPTED): New constant.
(VALID_STATUS): Treat it as valid.
* src/system.h (is_empty_dir): Remove, replacing with ...
(directory_status): ... this more-general function.
All uses changed.  Avoid undefined behavior of looking at
a non-null readdir pointer after corresponding closedir.
* tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail.sh: Adjust test of internals
to match current behavior.

Nishant Nayan 6bf108358a rm: do not skip files upon failure to remove an empty dir
When removing a directory fails for some reason, and that directory
is empty, the rm_fts code gets the return value of the excise call
confused with the return value of its earlier call to prompt,
causing fts_skip_tree to be called again and the next file
that rm would otherwise have deleted to survive.

* src/remove.c (rm_fts): Ensure we only skip a single fts entry,
when processing empty dirs.  I.e. only skip the entry
having successfully removed it.
* tests/rm/empty-immutable-skip.sh: New root-only test.

Pádraig Brady 3a68c3e990 tests: avoid false failure in rm/r-root.sh with gdb warnings
* tests/rm/r-root.sh: Skip the test if there are gdb warnings
that will impact further stderr checks.  For example some
buggy gdb versions may report "Got object file from memory
but can't read symbols: File truncated".  Also fix an incorrect
stderr check from the previous change.
