Log:
sed(1): add LEGACY_BSDSED_COMPAT compile-time flag.
In r297602, which included a __FreeBSD_version bump to 1100105, we changed
sed 'i' and 'a' from discarding whitespaces to conform with what GNU and
sysvish sed do.
There are arguments in favor of keeping the old behavior but the new
behavior is also useful for migration purposes. It seems important to at
least consider the case of developers depending on the previous behavior,
so add a CFLAG to enable the old behaviour.
If such legacy behavior appears to be useful or even important for
real-world scenarios, I think that an environment variable controlling
it is more practical and traditional than the recompilation.
