Log:
  MFC r318316: uniq: allow -c to be used with -d or -u

  Bring in some bits from NetBSD and lift the restriction in uniq(1) that
  -c cannot be used with the -d and -u options.  This restriction seems
  unnecessary and is supported at least by GNU, OpenBSD, and NetBSD.  Lift
  the restriction and simplify the show() logic a little bit to maintain
  functionality when -c is provided with -d/-u.

  Also with this change, -d and -u are now actually a mutually exclusive,
  albeit valid, combination.  Given that they both indicate opposite
  behavior, uniq(1) will no longer output anything if both -d and -u are
  supplied.  This is in line with NetBSD as well as GNU.

  Adjust the man page and usage() to reflect that -c is its own standalone
  option.
