Details

Summary

On Linux, there's a similar set of programs to ours, but that end in the
letters 'sum'. These act basically like FreeBSD versions run with the -r
option. Add code so that when the program ends in 'sum' you get the
linux -r behavior. This is enough to make most things that use sha*sum
work correctly (the -c / --check options, as well as the long args
are not implemented).

Test Plan

Note: I've not implemented all the flags of *sum, but this is enough to make qemu's test suite
happier with FreeBSD and it's not the first time I've hit this issue.

I think there should be some updates to the man page to note the links and that they are for (limited) Linux compatibility.

A comment about why this is done would be good.

Does it mean that FreeBSD *sum versions of those utilities are going to support all the existing FreeBSD flags? Shouldn't we restrict the flags of the *sum utilities to only those that provide the same functionality both on FreeBSD and on GNU?

Not a bad idea, we can introduce *sum flags intentionally, as necessary.

I think the best bet is to flag the -c use in this mode because they are different. We could also accept-b and -t as nops too easily enough. Any extensions from there, though, I don't think we should prohibit.

Better compatibility with gnu versions from coreutils. Note this
in man page.

Tweak wording, and provide sha1sum for consistency.

this is a trivial trailing whitespace thing emacs decided to fix... Normally, I'd split it out, but it's trivial enough to be flexible on the style / substance division we normally do)

Traditional English convention is "-sum" not "*sum". Not worth changing unless a) you agree, and b) have other changes to make.
