xz: Fix error detection of fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) calls.
POSIX says that fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, flags) returns -1 on
error and "other than -1" on success. This is how it is
documented e.g. on OpenBSD too. On Linux, success with
F_SETFL is always 0 (at least accorinding to fcntl(2)
from man-pages 3.51).

xz: Fix use of wrong variable in a fcntl() call.
Due to a wrong variable name, when writing a sparse file
to standard output, *all* file status flags were cleared
(to the extent the operating system allowed it) instead of
only clearing the O_APPEND flag. In practice this worked
fine in the common situations on GNU/Linux, but I didn't
check how it behaved elsewhere.
The original flags were still restored correctly. I still
changed the code to use a separate boolean variable to
indicate when the flags should be restored instead of
relying on a special value in stdout_flags.

xz: Fix interaction between preset and custom filter chains.
There was somewhat illogical behavior when --extreme was
specified and mixed with custom filter chains.
Before this commit, "xz -9 --lzma2 -e" was equivalent
to "xz --lzma2". After it is equivalent to "xz -6e"
(all earlier preset options get forgotten when a custom
filter chain is specified and the default preset is 6
to which -e is applied). I find this less illogical.
This also affects the meaning of "xz -9e --lzma2 -7".
Earlier it was equivalent to "xz -7e" (the -e specified
before a custom filter chain wasn't forgotten). Now it
is "xz -7". Note that "xz -7e" still is the same as "xz -e7".
Hopefully very few cared about this in the first place,
so pretty much no one should even notice this change.

liblzma: Be less picky in lzma_alone_decoder().
To avoid false positives when detecting .lzma files,
rare values in dictionary size and uncompressed size fields
were rejected. They will still be rejected if .lzma files
are decoded with lzma_auto_decoder(), but when using
lzma_alone_decoder() directly, such files will now be accepted.
Hopefully this is an OK compromise.
This doesn't affect xz because xz still has its own file
format detection code. This does affect lzmadec though.
So after this commit lzmadec will accept files that xz or
xz-emulating-lzma doesn't.
NOTE: lzma_alone_decoder() still won't decode all .lzma files
because liblzma's LZMA decoder doesn't support lc + lp > 4.

xzless: Make "less -V" parsing more robust
In v4.999.9beta~30 (xzless: Support compressed standard input,
2009-08-09), xzless learned to parse ‘less -V’ output to figure out
whether less is new enough to handle $LESSOPEN settings starting
with “|-”. That worked well for a while, but the version string from
‘less’ versions 448 (June, 2012) is misparsed, producing a warning:
More precisely, modern ‘less’ lists the regexp implementation along
with its version number, and xzless passes the entire version number
with attached parenthetical phrase as a number to "test $a -gt $b",
producing the above confusing message.
$ less-444 -V | head -1
less 444
$ less -V | head -1
less 456 (no regular expressions)
So relax the pattern matched --- instead of expecting "less <number>",
look for a line of the form "less <number>[ (extra parenthetical)]".
While at it, improve the behavior when no matching line is found ---
instead of producing a cryptic message, we can fall back on a LESSPIPE
setting that is supported by all versions of ‘less’.
The implementation uses "awk" for simplicity. Hopefully that’s
portable enough.

liblzma: Fix possibility of incorrect LZMA_BUF_ERROR.
lzma_code() could incorrectly return LZMA_BUF_ERROR if
all of the following was true:
- The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect
and only provides that much output space.
- When the last output bytes are decoded, the
caller-provided input buffer ends right before
the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2 won't
provide more output anymore, but it won't know it
yet and thus won't return LZMA_STREAM_END yet.
- A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any
unfiltered bytes in the temp buffer. This can happen
with any BCJ filter, but in practice it's more likely
with filters other than the x86 BCJ.
Another situation where the bug can be triggered happens
if the uncompressed size is zero bytes and no output space
is provided. In this case the decompression can fail even
if the whole input file is given to lzma_code().
A similar bug was fixed in XZ Embedded on 2011-09-19.

Fix exit status of xzgrep when grepping binary files.
When grepping binary files, grep may exit before it has
read all the input. In this case, gzip -q returns 2 (eating
SIGPIPE), but xz and bzip2 show SIGPIPE as the exit status
(e.g. 141). This causes wrong exit status when grepping
xz- or bzip2-compressed binary files.
The fix checks for the special exit status that indicates SIGPIPE.
It uses kill -l which should be supported everywhere since it
is in both SUSv2 (1997) and POSIX.1-2008.
