wc(1): Fix 'wc -L'

I inadvertently broke 'wc -L' in r326736. We must skip the fast path if -L
was specified, in addition to the existing check for the -l option.

Document long-standing -L behavior (count varies depending on whether wc(1)
is run with the -m option or not) in wc.1. That behavior dates back to the
introduction of the -L option, but was not documented.

# fbbd9655 28-Feb-2017 Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org>

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.


# f45dd010 06-Dec-2008 Giorgos Keramidas <keramida@FreeBSD.org>

Add a -L option to wc(1), for finger compatibility with the GNU
wc utility. The -L option can be used to report the length of
the longest line wc has seen in one or more files. It is
disabled by default, and wc uses the standard `-lwc'.

# ebb42aee 12-Jun-2002 Tim J. Robbins <tjr@FreeBSD.org>

Add the -m option, which counts characters (as opposed to -c, which
counts bytes). In locales that don't have multibyte characters, -m
is effectively an alias for -c.

This brings wc(1) up to P1003.1-2001 conformance.
