Pad the input buffer whenever sync is used, not just if the noerror flag
is also set.
Change osync to not to tack on an empty block if the input buffer is null,
or an even multiple of the blocksize.
Also change osync to pad the output with nulls/spaces depending whether
this is a block-oriented conversion or not (same as sync).

Increase precision of duration to microseconds.
No heuristics to avoid overflow in calculation needed - just depend
on DBL_MAX being a bit larger than LONG_MAX.

Use double instead of `struct timeval' in dd.h so that everything
doesn't have to include <sys/time.h>.

Fixed style bugs in recent and old FreeBSD changes.

Add a "fillchar" command line argument to dd(1) that permits the user
to specify an alternative padding character when using a conversion
mode, or when using noerror with sync and an input error occurs. This
facilities reading old and error-prone media by allowing the user to
more effectively mark error blocks in the output stream.

Don't call DIOCWLABEL on disks, it is not implemented, and calling it

thus breaking systems with unpolluted <sys/stat.h>'s.
