tail: make -r do what the manual says - #1042
Merged

Conversation
* This version of tail has the -r flag, which is a BSD extension * The POD section for -r says the default for -r is to show the entire input; this is consistent with NetBSD/FreeBSD/OpenBSD * The default $point value of -10 was being used incorrectly in this case, but it should have no bearing here * With this patch, "tac f" and "tail -r f" become equivalent (historical BSD did not have tac)
