* Fix a bug in split where chunking would be skipped when the chunk size
happened to be an exact divisor of the buffer size used to read the
input stream.
The issue here was that file was being split byte-wise in chunks of 1G.
The input stream was being read in chunks of 8KB, which evenly divides
the chunk size. Because the check to allocate the next output chunk was
done at the bottom of the loop previously, it would never occur because
the current input chunk was fully consumed at that point. By moving the
check to the top of the loop (but still late enough that we know we have
bytes to write) we resolve this issue.
This scenario is unfortunately hard to write a test for, since we don't
explicitly control the input chunk size.

Fix a bug in the behavior of `split -e -n NUM` when the input file is
empty. Previously, it would panic due to overflow when subtracting 1
from 0. After this change, it will terminate successfully and produce
no output chunks.
Implement distributing lines of a file in a round-robin manner to a
specified number of chunks. For example,
$ (seq 1 10 | split -n r/3) && head -v xa[abc]
==> xaa <==
1
4

10
==> xab <==

==> xac <==

Implement the `--line-bytes` option to `split`. In this mode, the
program tries to write as many lines of the input as possible to each
chunk of output without exceeding a specified byte limit. The new
`LineBytesChunkWriter` struct represents this functionality.
Implement `-n l/k/N` option, where the `k`th chunk of the input file
is written to stdout. For example,
$ seq -w 0 99 > f; split -n l/3/10 f

Add support for `split -n l/NUM`. Previously, `split` only supported
`-n NUM`, which splits a file into `NUM` chunks by byte. The `-n
l/NUM` strategy splits a file into `NUM` chunks without splitting
lines across chunks.
https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/3084 (2a333ab391) had some
missing coverage and was merged before I had a chance to fix it.
This PR adds some coverage / improved error messages that were missing
from that previous PR.
Add the `-e` flag, which indicates whether to elide (that is, remove)
empty files that would have been created by the `-n` option.
The `-n` command-line argument gives a specific number of chunks into
which the input files will be split. If the number of chunks is
greater than the number of bytes, then empty files will be created for
the excess chunks. But if `-e` is given, then empty files will not be
created.
For example, contrast
$ printf 'a\n' > f && split -e -n 3 f && cat xaa xab xac
a
cat: xac: No such file or directory
with
$ printf 'a\n' > f && split -n 3 f && cat xaa xab xac
a

Add support for the `-x` command-line option to `split`. This option
causes `split` to produce filenames with hexadecimal suffixes instead
of the default alphabetic suffixes.
Replace `ByteSplitter` and `LineSplitter` with `ByteChunkWriter` and
`LineChunkWriter` respectively. This results in a more maintainable
design and an increase in the speed of splitting by lines.
Correct the `test_split::test_suffixes_exhausted` test case so that it
actually exercises the intended behavior of `split`. Previously, the
test fixture contained 26 bytes. After this commit, the test fixture
contains 27 bytes. When using a suffix width of one, only 26 filenames
should be available when naming chunk files---one for each lowercase
ASCII letter. This commit ensures that the filenames will be exhausted
as intended by the test.
Fix two issues with the filename creation algorithm. First, this
corrects the behavior of the `-a` option. This commit ensures a
failure occurs when the number of chunks exceeds the number of
filenames representable with the specified fixed width:
$ printf "%0.sa" {1..11} | split -d -b 1 -a 1
split: output file suffixes exhausted
Second, this corrects the behavior of the default behavior when `-a`
is not specified on the command line. Previously, it was always
settings the filenames to have length 2 suffixes. This commit corrects
the behavior to follow the algorithm implied by GNU split, where the
filename lengths grow dynamically by two characters once the number of
chunks grows sufficiently large:
$ printf "%0.sa" {1..91} | ./target/debug/coreutils split -d -b 1 \

`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 `'`
