* chown: support '.' as 'user.group' separator (like ':')
It also manages the case:
user.name:group (valid too)
Should fix:
gnu/tests/chown/separator.sh
Part of the code was transliterated from GNU's implementation in C,
and used flags to store settings. Instead, we can use enums to avoid
magic values or binary operations to extract flags.
As custom errors are prefered over wrapping around common errors, the
distinction between UCommonError and UCustomError is removed. This
reduces the number of types and makes the error handling easier to
understand.
This makes clap wrap the help text according to the terminal width,
which improves readability for terminal widths < 120 chars,
because clap defaults to a width of 120 chars without this feature.
`LANGUAGE=C` is not enough, `LC_ALL=C` is needed as the environment
variable that overrides all the other localization settings.
e.g.
```bash
$ LANGUAGE=C id foobar
id: ‘foobar’: no such user
$ LC_ALL=C id foobar
id: 'foobar': no such user
```
* replace `LANGUAGE` with `LC_ALL` as environment variable in the tests
* fix the the date string of affected uutils
* replace `‘` and `’` with `'`
* Change unchecked unwrapping to unwrap_or_default for argument parsing (resolving #1845)
* Added unit-testing for the collect_str function on invalid utf8 OsStrs
* Added a warning-message for identification purpose to the collect_str method.
* - Add removal of wrongly encoded empty strings to basename
- Add testing of broken encoding to basename
- Changed UCommand to use collect_str in args method to allow for integration testing of that method
- Change UCommand to use unwarp_or_default in arg method to match the behaviour of collect_str
* Trying out a new pattern for convert_str for getting a feeling of how the API feels with more control
* Adding convenience API for compact calls
* Add new API to everywhere, fix test for basename
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options
* Added unit-testing for the conversion options for windows
* fixed compilation and some merge hiccups
* Remove windows tests in order to make merge request build
* Fix formatting to match rustfmt for the merged file
* Improve documentation of the collect_str method and the unit-tests
* Fix compilation problems with test

- refactor internal version specifications to be ">=M.m.p" (where M.m.p is *already published*)
## [why]
Loosening internal version dependencies decreases the coupling between packages such
that packages can be published in a looser order. It allows the packages to be version
updated and published in tandem (ie, by using `cargo workspace ...`). Once published,
the internal versions can then be updated (again, to an *already published* package
version), as needed.
