coreutils: Update to version 9.5

  - Update from version 9.0 to 9.5
- Update of the uname patch to 9.5
- Obtained the 9.5 version of the i18n patch. However this caused the coreutils build to
   fail. Without the patch the build had no problems. After investigating for some time
   I identified that coreutils used to have the mbchar.h and mbchar.c files in its
   source tarball lib directory. However those are no longer needed by coreutils so they
   have been deleted in the source tarball. However the i18n patch still requires them.
   The patch creates the code for the mbchar.h and mbchar.c files. However it has made
   the availability of the  members buf & mb_setascii and some code related to old_mbc
   dependent on GNULIB being defined. This is specified in configure.ac but that define
   did not make it into the prepared configure file. This causes those members to not be
   found and the build fails.
- Removing the three #if defined GNLIB_MBFILE statements from the coreutils-9.5-i18n
   patch, so that the code is executed in the build, causes the members to be present
   and the build is successfull.
- Update of rootfile
- Changelog
    9.5
	** Bug fixes
	  chmod -R now avoids a race where an attacker may replace a traversed file
	   with a symlink, causing chmod to operate on an unintended file.
	   [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
	  cp, mv, and install no longer issue spurious diagnostics like "failed
	   to preserve ownership" when copying to GNU/Linux CIFS file systems.
	   They do this by working around some Linux CIFS bugs.
	  cp --no-preserve=mode will correctly maintain set-group-ID bits
	   for created directories.  Previously on systems that didn't support ACLs,
	   cp would have reset the set-group-ID bit on created directories.
	   [bug introduced in coreutils-8.20]
	  join and uniq now support multi-byte characters better.
	   For example, 'join -tX' now works even if X is a multi-byte character,
	   and both programs now treat multi-byte characters like U+3000
	   IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE as blanks if the current locale treats them so.
	  numfmt options like --suffix no longer have an arbitrary 127-byte limit.
	   [bug introduced with numfmt in coreutils-8.21]
	  mktemp with --suffix now better diagnoses templates with too few X's.
	   Previously it conflated the insignificant --suffix in the error.
	   [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]
	  sort again handles thousands grouping characters in single-byte locales
	   where the grouping character is greater than CHAR_MAX.  For e.g. signed
	   character platforms with a 0xA0 (aka &nbsp) grouping character.
	   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.1]
	  split --line-bytes with a mixture of very long and short lines
	   no longer overwrites the heap (CVE-2024-0684).
	   [bug introduced in coreutils-9.2]
	  tail no longer mishandles input from files in /proc and /sys file systems,
	   on systems with a page size larger than the stdio BUFSIZ.
	   [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
	  timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might kill arbitrary
	   processes after a failed process fork.
	   [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
	  timeout avoids a narrow race condition, where it might fail to
	   kill monitored processes immediately after forking them.
	   [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
	  wc no longer fails to count unprintable characters as parts of words.
	   [bug introduced in textutils-2.1]
	** Changes in behavior
	  base32 and base64 no longer require padding when decoding.
	   Previously an error was given for non padded encoded data.
	  base32 and base64 have improved detection of corrupted encodings.
	   Previously encodings with non zero padding bits were accepted.
	  basenc --base16 -d now supports lower case hexadecimal characters.
	   Previously an error was given for lower case hex digits.
	  cp --no-clobber, and mv -n no longer exit with failure status if
	   existing files are encountered in the destination.  Instead they revert
	   to the behavior from before v9.2, silently skipping existing files.
	  ls --dired now implies long format output without hyperlinks enabled,
	   and will take precedence over previously specified formats or hyperlink mode.
	  numfmt will accept lowercase 'k' to indicate Kilo or Kibi units on input,
	   and uses lowercase 'k' when outputting such units in '--to=si' mode.
	  pinky no longer tries to canonicalize the user's login location by default,
	   rather requiring the new --lookup option to enable this often slow feature.
	  wc no longer ignores encoding errors when counting words.
	   Instead, it treats them as non white space.
	** New features
	  chgrp now accepts the --from=OWNER:GROUP option to restrict changes to files
	   with matching current OWNER and/or GROUP, as already supported by chown(1).
	  chmod adds support for -h, -H,-L,-P, and --dereference options, providing
	   more control over symlink handling.  This supports more secure handling of
	   CLI arguments, and is more consistent with chown, and chmod on other systems.
	  cp now accepts the --keep-directory-symlink option (like tar), to preserve
	   and follow existing symlinks to directories in the destination.
	  cp and mv now accept the --update=none-fail option, which is similar
	   to the --no-clobber option, except that existing files are diagnosed,
	   and the command exits with failure status if existing files.
	   The -n,--no-clobber option is best avoided due to platform differences.
	  env now accepts the -a,--argv0 option to override the zeroth argument
	   of the command being executed.
	  mv now accepts an --exchange option, which causes the source and
	   destination to be exchanged.  It should be combined with
	   --no-target-directory (-T) if the destination is a directory.
	   The exchange is atomic if source and destination are on a single
	   file system that supports atomic exchange; --exchange is not yet
	   supported in other situations.
	  od now supports printing IEEE half precision floating point with -t fH,
	   or brain 16 bit floating point with -t fB, where supported by the compiler.
	  tail now supports following multiple processes, with repeated --pid options.
	** Improvements
	  cp,mv,install,cat,split now read and write a minimum of 256KiB at a time.
	   This was previously 128KiB and increasing to 256KiB was seen to increase
	   throughput by 10-20% when reading cached files on modern systems.
	  env,kill,timeout now support unnamed signals. kill(1) for example now
	   supports sending such signals, and env(1) will list them appropriately.
	  SELinux operations in file copy operations are now more efficient,
	   avoiding unneeded MCS/MLS label translation.
	  sort no longer dynamically links to libcrypto unless -R is used.
	   This decreases startup overhead in the typical case.
	  wc is now much faster in single-byte locales and somewhat faster in
	   multi-byte locales.
