  Modified files:
    sbin/savecore        savecore.c 
  Log:
  High-level changes (user visible):
  o  Implement -c (clear) to clear previously kept headers (note that
     dumps not cleared will remain until -c is used),
  o  Implement -f (force) to allow re-saving a previously saved dump,
  o  Implement -k (keep) and make clearing the dump header the default,
  o  Implement -v (verbose) and make most output conditional upon it,
  o  Emit minimal output for the non-verbose case with the assumption
     that savecore is run mostly from within /etc/rc,
  o  Update usage message to reflect what is and what's not,
  o  mark -d as obsolete.
  
  Low-level changes:
  o  Rename devname to device, for devname mirrors a global declaration
     and GCC 3.x warns about it,
  o  Open the dump device R/W for clear and !keep to work,
  o  Reorder the locals of DoFile according to style(9),
  o  Remove newlines from strings passed to warn* and err*,
  o  Use stat(2) to check if a dump has been saved before,
  o  Truncate existing core and info files to support force,
  o  First check for the magic and the version before we complain about
     parity errors. This prevents emitting parity error messages when
     there's no dump,
  o  Keep track of the number of headers found and the number of headers
     saved to support the minimal output,
  o  Close files we opened in DoFile. Not critical, but cleaner.
