install: add FreeBSD's -U (unprivileged) option

Open alexandrefresnais opened this issue 4 weeks ago • 7 comments

Fixes https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues/1273

As suggested per some users, It could be nice to support FreeBSD's -U option for unprivileged install.

The manual states

-U: Indicate that install is running  unprivileged, and  that  it 
should  not  try to  change  the owner, the group, or the file
 flags of	the destination.
