This way we can quickly find the most recent entry, without searching or
traversing entry array chains.
This is relevant later, as it it allows us to quickly determine the most
recent timestamps of each journal file, in a roughly atomic way.
(The one case that is left unchanged is '< <(subcommand)'.)
This way, the style with no gap was already dominant. This way, the reader
immediately knows that ' < ' is a comparison operator and ' << ' is a shift.
In a few cases, replace custom EOF replacement by just EOF. There is no point
in using someting like "_EOL" unless "EOF" appears in the text.
The documentation on moving an existing homedir into a systemd-homed managed
one suggests using rsync(1) with a bunch of flags to preserve as much metadata
as possible: permissions, xattrs, timestamps, etc. The previously suggested
flags were:
rsync -aHAXv --remove-source-files …
… which does include mtimes, but not ctimes and atimes, because -a does not
include those:
--archive, -a archive mode is -rlptgoD (no -A,-X,-U,-N,-H)
This change adds the -N and -U flags to preserve even more file timestamps,
turning the command into:
rsync -aHANUXv --remove-source-files …
The new flags are:
--crtimes, -N preserve create times (newness)
--atimes, -U preserve access (use) times
