Basename(1) first appeared in the 7th edition. It was not in the 6th
edition, or PWB releases. It's on all the subsequent descendants.
Dirname(1) first appeared in System III, and was later picked up in
4.3-Reno and 8th edition research unix (though was not in 4.1BSD where
the bulk of 8th edition came from). In System III and V8 it was a shell
script, though the BSD version is in C.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Also add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to keep svn happy.
Discussed with: imp, rwatson
files. The traditional behaviour, 'basename string .suffix', is preserved,
however a suffix may now also be specified via a getopt(3) option, -s, such
that if it is specified in that way, all string arguments follow. There is
also a new flag, -a, which allows a user to say "yes, please basename(3) on
all arguments". Update manual to reflect this unobtrusively.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
