lseek: avoid SEEK_HOLE bugs in FreeBSD, macOS
This attempts to fix <https://bugs.gnu.org/61386>, a bug in GNU cp caused by a serious data corruption bug in FreeBSD and macOS. * doc/posix-functions/lseek.texi: Mention the bug. * lib/unistd.in.h (SEEK_DATA, SEEK_HOLE): Undef in macOS < 13 and FreeBSD < 14. FreeBSD fixed the bug sometime during FreeBSD 13 <https://bugs.freebsd.org/256205>, so the "FreeBSD < 14" is conservative. It’s unknown when Apple will fix macOS so use macOS "9999" as a placeholder. * m4/lseek.m4 (gl_FUNC_LSEEK): Replace lseek if on one of the above platforms.
