Most BusyBox applets respond to the '--help' option by printing
a usage message. This is normally handled by busybox_main() so
applet main routines don't have support for '--help'.
In standalone shell mode with FEATURE_SH_NOFORK enabled nofork
applets are invoked directly, bypassing busybox_main(). This
results in inconsistent handling of '--help':
- applets which call getopt() report "unrecognized option '--help'"
and print help anyway;
- realpath says "--help: No such file or directory" and doesn't
print help;
- usleep says "invalid number '--help'" and doesn't print help.
Avoid inconsistency by checking for '--help' in run_nofork_applet().

Starting with linux kernel v5.4 squashfs has a more strict parameter
checking implemented. Unlike util-linux mount, busybox never supported
the sizelimit option but simply forwards it to the kernel.
Since v5.4 mounting will fail with
squashfs: Unknown parameter 'sizelimit'
Support the sizelimit parameter by setting it in the LOOP_SET_STATUS64
structure before handing it to the kernel.
While at it also add support for the offset option, which currently will
always be set to 0.

Back in 2007, commit 0c97c9d437 ("'simple' error message functions by
Loic Grenie") introduced bb_simple_perror_msg() to allow for a lower
overhead call to bb_perror_msg() when only a string was being printed
with no parameters. This saves space for some CPU architectures because
it avoids the overhead of a call to a variadic function. However there
has never been a simple version of bb_error_msg(), and since 2007 many
new calls to bb_perror_msg() have been added that only take a single
parameter and so could have been using bb_simple_perror_message().
This changeset introduces 'simple' versions of bb_info_msg(),
bb_error_msg(), bb_error_msg_and_die(), bb_herror_msg() and
bb_herror_msg_and_die(), and replaces all calls that only take a
single parameter, or use something like ("%s", arg), with calls to the
corresponding 'simple' version.
Since it is likely that single parameter calls to the variadic functions
may be accidentally reintroduced in the future a new debugging config
option WARN_SIMPLE_MSG has been introduced. This uses some macro magic
which will cause any such calls to generate a warning, but this is
turned off by default to avoid use of the unpleasant macros in normal
circumstances.
This is a large changeset due to the number of calls that have been
replaced. The only files that contain changes other than simple
substitution of function calls are libbb.h, libbb/herror_msg.c,
libbb/verror_msg.c and libbb/xfuncs_printf.c. In miscutils/devfsd.c,
networking/udhcp/common.h and util-linux/mdev.c additonal macros have
been added for logging so that single parameter and multiple parameter
logging variants exist.
The amount of space saved varies considerably by architecture, and was
found to be as follows (for 'defconfig' using GCC 7.4):
Arm: -92 bytes
MIPS: -52 bytes
PPC: -1836 bytes
x86_64: -938 bytes
Note that for the MIPS architecture only an exception had to be made
disabling the 'simple' calls for 'udhcp' (in networking/udhcp/common.h)
because it made these files larger on MIPS.

Between Busybox 1.24.2 and 1.25.0 the bb_info_msg() function was
eliminated and calls to it changed to be bb_error_msg(). The downside of
this is that daemons now log all messages to syslog at the LOG_ERR level
which makes it hard to filter errors from informational messages.
This change optionally re-introduces bb_info_msg(), controlled by a new
option FEATURE_SYSLOG_INFO, restores all the calls to bb_info_msg() that
were removed (only in applets that set logmode to LOGMODE_SYSLOG or
LOGMODE_BOTH), and also changes informational messages in ifplugd and
ntpd.
The code size change of this is as follows (using 'defconfig' on x86_64
with gcc 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)

Embedded scripts require a shell to be present in the BusyBox
binary. Allow either ash or hush to be used for this purpose.
If both are enabled ash takes precedence.
The size of the binary is unchanged in the default configuration:
both ash and hush are present but support for embedded scripts
isn't compiled into hush.

BusyBox has support for embedded shell scripts. Two types can be
distinguished: custom scripts and scripts implementing applets.
Custom scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory at build
time. They are given a default applet configuration and appear
as applets to the user but no further configuration is possible.
Applet scripts are integrated with the BusyBox build system and
are intended to be used to ship standard applets that just happen
to be implemented as scripts. They can be configured at build time
and appear just like native applets.
Such scripts should be placed in the 'applets_sh' directory. A stub
C program should be written to provide the usual applet configuration
details and placed in a suitable subsystem directory. It may be
helpful to have a configuration option to enable any dependencies the
script requires: see the 'nologin' applet for an example.

To assist in the deployment of shell scripts it may be convenient
to embed them in the BusyBox binary.
'Embed scripts in the binary' takes any files in the directory
'embed', concatenates them with null separators, compresses them
and embeds them in the binary.
When scripts are embedded in the binary, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT [ARGS]' or by usual (sym)link mechanism.
embed/nologin is provided as an example.
