Mario Fetka 4ad455c6df dosutils: add maintainer helpers and compare-ready tools
Add maintainer-only support used by the automated DOS compatibility
tests.

This introduces the MAINTAINER_BUILD option for the DOS tools. In
maintainer builds, LOGIN accepts the hidden /PWD: and /PASSWORD:
arguments for automated test relogin, and the DLYSTRT helper is built to
delay-start DOS batch files after the invoking batch has returned to the
prompt.

Add the WHOAMI utility and wire it into the NET command dispatch. Also
adjust SLIST and RIGHTS output to match Novell behavior more closely,
including server-not-found handling, path formatting, Supervisor rights,
missing-path errors and usage text.

Extend the test scripts to compare NPUBLIC Novell baselines against the
PUBLIC implementations. LOGIN/LOGOUT can now run automatically via
DLYSTRT and the maintainer LOGIN password option. RIGHTS gains an
additional NOPASSUSER effective-rights matrix that covers single rights,
mixed rights, Supervisor rights, ALL/N and file trustee cases.

Normal builds remain free of maintainer-only helpers and hidden password
handling.

WHOSTA - WHOAMI baseline and PUBLIC comparison

WHOSTA.BAT captures Novell WHOAMI output from \NPUBLIC\WHOAMI and compares it against the current implementation in \PUBLIC\WHOAMI.

Run while logged in as the user whose context should be captured, normally SUPERVISOR for the default baseline.

F:\WHOCMP\COMPARE.LOG FC comparisons OUT vs PUBOUT

WHOZIP.BAT packages RUN.LOG, SUMMARY.TXT, COMPARE.LOG, OUT and PUBOUT into F:\WHOCMP\WHOSTA.ZIP.

Known Novell baseline detail: /RIGHTS and /ALL can end with Unable to set directory handle. (899c) depending on the current context. Keep this output as part of the baseline unless the comparison layer later normalizes it explicitly.
