        src/usr.bin/stat: stat.1

Log Message:
PR bin/47333

Note that -L will fall back to use lstat() if the stat() requested
returns ENOENT (if the following lstat() fails, the ENOENT from
the lstat() is returned - that generally indicates that the original
ENOENT came from the filename passed to stat() rather than the
value of the symlink.   (The man page doesn't say all of that.)

If "stat -L name" returns data from a symlink (eg: if -f %T is @)
then name must refer to a symlink which points to nothing.
(The man page does say that.)
