... which is no longer needed. Fileutils, Shellutils, and Textutils

The code where /bin/mv was used does not seem to be useful any more.

... against src/dircolors.hin rather than full copies of the file.
There should be no user-visible change introduced by this commit.
This is just to ease the maintenance -- the resulting files cannot
diverge from upstream without any notice.
Don't depend on libcrypto from the multicall binary in
the coreutils-single package, because that trades space for speed.
Don't depend on libgmp from the multicall binary in
the coreutils-single package, because that only benefits
factor and expr. The large size of gmp is not seen as
an appropriate tradeoff for this functionality.
Note also there is reduced startup overhead for all tools
with these removed due to not linking with the shared libs.
The comments re %post processing were for a non commited change
that created symlinks during %post that clobbered any existing binaries.
Now all files are directly managed by rpm.
Notes about coreutils:
- Drops from 14.2MB to 5.5MB.
- Still requires coreutils-common, though being separated
allows for easier removal if required.
- Explicitly conflicts with coreutils-single to avoid errant installs
Notes about coreutils-single:
- Contains a single multicall binary which is 1.2MB
- Have to force install over any existing coreutils package
so best used for initial install without existing coreutils package
- Doesn't require (but suggests) coreutils-common
so install that manually for docs, translations, and colors etc.
Notes about coreutils-common:
- 8.7MB
- Having this split out gives an easy way to remove all
docs and translations.
Note RemovePathPostfixes: introduced with rpm 4.13
is used to facilitate producing the two sets of conflicting binaries
from the same build, while maintaining appropriate --fileprovide
in each generated rpm.
