- restore exit-on-eof if POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set [Karel Zak]
<https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/28b391ce7e>
In version 2.38, exit-on-eof has been disabled by default. This change
is annoying for users and forces many users to use 'alias more="more
-e"'. It seems better to force POSIX lovers to use POSIXLY_CORRECT
env. variable and stay backwardly compatible by default.

I noticed the issue in LXC containers were less is not installed by
default. It is annoying when a few lines from systemctl or a similar
command appears at the top of the terminal window with a lot of space
below. I believed, it is a new systemd "feature".
