Subject: [PATCH] stat: remove support for deprecated --context (-Z) option
* src/stat.c (main): Remove support for the --context (-Z) option.
In upstream releases this option has always been a no-op. It was
first ignored for compatibility, and since the June 2008 commit,
574f7614 (coreutils-7.0), its use has evoked a warning.
* NEWS (Changes in behavior): Mention it.

touch's --file option is no longer recognized. Use --reference=F (-r)
instead. --file has not been documented for 15 years, and its use has
elicited a warning since coreutils-7.1.
