Implement head and tail functionality in bdsh/cat (thx Taylor Killian)
This patch fixes a number of problems in the cat app. Most
importantly, it correctly displays characters at the end of the read
buffer, where previously multibyte characters were being rendered as
U_SPECIAL. It also implements the buffer size argument (-b) that the
--help mentions. The size of the buffer must be at least 4 though in
order to accommodate multibyte characters. Finally head (-H) and tail
(-t) were implemented as per --help.
