Changes since 3.0.0:
NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR:
- Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
revised version with a new value (e.g. a changed symlink referent, a
new device number, etc.).

- Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.

- Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of excluding
a wider range of path entries. It also sends the user an error about
"missing" files instead of silently ignoring them.
- Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the
exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as
if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the

- Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory
handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy.

- The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
ownership, xattrs, etc.).
- Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.

- Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could
make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path.
- A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
