It helps that cmake_install.cmake doesn't parallelize installation
so symlinks can be created so that the target is always known to
exist (a requirement on Windows in some cases).
This bumps the minimum CMake version from 3.13 to 3.14 to use
file(CREATE_LINK ...). It could be made to work on 3.13 by
calling "cmake -E create_symlink" but it's uglier code and
slower in "make install". 3.14 should be a reasonable version
to require nowadays, especially since the Autotools build
is still the primary build system for most OSes.
If gettext tools are available, the .po files listed in po/LINGUAS
are converted using msgfmt. This allows building with translations
directly from xz.git without Autotools.
If gettext tools aren't available, the Autotools-created .gmo files
in the "po" directory will be used. This allows CMake-based build
to use translations from Autotools-generated tarball.
If translation support is found (Intl_FOUND) but both the
gettext tools and the pre-generated .gmo files are missing,
then "make" will fail.
This makes these sandboxing methods stricter when no files are
created or deleted. That is, it's a middle ground between the
initial sandbox and the strictest single-file-to-stdout sandbox:
this allows opening files for reading but output has to go to stdout.
Linux 6.7 added support for ABI version 4 which restricts
TCP connections which xz won't need and thus those can be
forbidden now. Since the ABI version is handled at runtime,
supporting version 4 won't cause any compatibility issues.
Note that new enough kernel headers are required to get
version 4 support enabled at build time.
Landlock is now always used just like pledge(2) is: first in more
permissive mode and later (under certain common conditions) in
a strict mode that doesn't allow opening more files.
I put pledge(2) first in sandbox.c because it's the simplest API
to use and still somewhat fine-grained for basic applications.
So it's the simplest thing to understand for anyone reading sandbox.c.
Also explicitly initialize progress_automatic to make it clear
that it can be read before message_init() sets it. Static variable
was initialized to false by default already so this is only for
clarity.
GCC docs promise that it works and a few other compilers do
too. Clang/LLVM is documented source code only but unsurprisingly
it behaves the same as others on x86-64 at least. But the
certainly-portable way is good enough here so use that.
The x32 port has a x86-64 ABI in term of all registers but uses only
32bit pointer like x86-32. The assembly optimisation fails to compile on
x32. Given the state of x32 I suggest to exclude it from the
optimisation rather than trying to fix it.

It's used only for basic bittrees and fixed-size reverse bittree
because those showed a clear benefit on x86-64 with GCC and Clang.
The other methods were more mixed and thus are commented out but
they should be tested on other archs.
