touch: Respect -h when getting metadata #5951

Currently, if the stat function in the touch crate is used on a symlink, it will first try to get the metadata of the destination, even if the follow parameter is false. It will not get the metadata of the symlink itself if the symlink is not broken. It should now check follow first.

Minor change: the failed to get attributes for {path} context isn't currently being added to the error if the first fs::metadata call fails and follow is true. But this PR makes it so all errors have that context added to them. However, at some point in the past, it seems like all errors had that context added to them, so I figured it'd be fine (@tertsdiepraam tracked down this commit fixing an earlier issue).

The tests I added should maybe not run on FreeBSD because there's apparently an issue with nanoseconds or something? I have no idea what the difference there is, but I figured I'd set the nanoseconds field to 0 and let the CI run, just in case that works. Never mind, I added #[cfg(not(target_os = "freebsd"))] since there's not much chance of the specific behavior being tested here being different on FreeBSD.

It would be possible to get them to run on FreeBSD by avoiding
get_symlink_times, but the behavior we're testing is not
platform-specific, so it's fine to not test it on FreeBSD.

@tertsdiepraam I don't know why some of the workflows are failing, but the failures don't seem to be related to touch (I think)?

We'll see what this run does :)

We do get unrelated errors quite often unfortunately. Recently especially on windows. But don't worry, we'll still look at the PR if there are some failures.

Welp, still failing, but at least the failures on that run were only on Windows.

Windows has been having problems recently. No need to worry about it (for you) 😄

GNU testsuite comparison:

Skip an intermittent issue tests/tail/inotify-dir-recreate (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)

GNU testsuite comparison:

Congrats! The gnu test tests/chown/preserve-root is no longer failing!

* ci: use codecov token in CICD/GnuTests workflows

Now that clap#2624 has been resolved, we can and should test both variants.

* cat: don't flake even on exotic pipe buffer sizes

See also 9995c63.

There is a race condition between the writing thread and the command.
It is easily possible that on the developer's machine, the writing
thread is always faster, filling the kernel's buffer of the stdin pipe,
thus succeeding the write. It is also easily possible that on the busy
CI machines, the child command runs first for whatever reason, and exits
early, thus killing the pipe, which causes the later write to fail. This
results in a flaky test. Let's prevent flaky tests.

* numfmt: don't flake even on exotic pipe buffer sizes

This is explicitly tested in the GNU tests.

* uucore: drop unused function resolve_relative_path

This function is by necessity ill-defined: Depending on the context,
'..' is either the logical parent directory, sometimes the physical
parent directory. This function can only work for the latter case,
in which case `Path::canonicalize` is often a better approach.
