BUG FIXES:
- Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
options specified.
- Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
redos properly (and without hanging).
- Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
- Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
- Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
