Mario Fetka 5da600c2a5 dosutils: match Novell paths for flags and trustees
Move FLAG, GRANT and REMOVE closer to the request paths used by the
Novell tools and extend the DOS comparison tests.

FLAG now reads attributes through the old NCP22 directory scan path and
writes them through NCP22/25 Set Directory/File Information. This keeps
extended attributes such as Delete Inhibit and Rename Inhibit intact and
matches the Novell behavior observed in the server logs.

GRANT now prefers NCP22/27 SetTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. Supervisor
rights are expanded like Novell does, so granting S sends and reports the
full SRWCEMFA mask. The visible output, path formatting and error text
are adjusted to match the Novell baseline.

REMOVE now prefers NCP22/2B DelTrustee with an NCP87 fallback. The
DelTrustee request layout is corrected, /SUBDIRS handling is aligned
with Novell, and the output/error text is matched to the baseline.

The FLAG, FLAGDIR, GRANT and REMOVE tests now compare NPUBLIC baselines
against the PUBLIC implementations and add delayed NOPASSUSER readback
checks using DLYSTRT and the maintainer LOGIN password option.

# FLAG automated compare test
Compares Novell `NPUBLIC\FLAG` against the current `PUBLIC\FLAG`.
## Run
For the direct compare only:
```text
FLGTSTA
```
For the full automatic NOPASSUSER context block, set the maintainer-login
password first:
```text
SET LGNTPWD=your-supervisor-password
FLGTSTA
```
`FLGTSTA` starts `C:\FLGTMP\FLGC.BAT` through `DLYSTRT`, logs in as
`NOPASSUSER`, runs `NPUBLIC\FLAG` and `PUBLIC\FLAG`, logs back in as
`SUPERVISOR` with `F:\LOGIN\LOGIN /PWD:`, and then queues
`FLGTSTA PART2`.
Package manually:
```text
FLGTZIP
```
## Result directories
```text
F:\FLGCMP\OUT Novell FLAG direct baseline
F:\FLGCMP\PUBOUT PUBLIC FLAG direct output
F:\FLGCMP\COMPARE.LOG direct FC compare
F:\FLGCMP\UNOV Novell FLAG as NOPASSUSER
F:\FLGCMP\UPUB PUBLIC FLAG as NOPASSUSER
F:\FLGCMP\UCOMP.LOG NOPASSUSER FC compare
```
## Coverage
- `FLAG` display
- `FLAG ... N`
- set/clear `H`, `RO`, `A`, `SY`, `DI`, `RI`
- mixed flag combinations
- missing-file behavior
- same cases as `NOPASSUSER`
