We may attempt to write an mbox to any terminal, block, or
character device, not just regular files and FIFOs/pipes.
The only thing that is known to not work is a directory.

Sockets may be possible with some OSes (e.g. Plan 9) or
filesystems.  This fixes t/lei.t on FreeBSD 11.x

1/7 was necessary on my FreeBSD 11.x VM
2/7 fixes TEST_RUN_MODE=0
3/7 fixes a long-standing (well, several weeks) annoyance
4/7 depended on 3/7, sorta
5/7 should've been done ages ago
6/7 oops :x
7/7 belts and suspenders

Eric Wong (7):
  lei: allow more mbox inode types
  lei: exit code in oneshot mode
  overidx: eidx_prep: fix leftover dbh reference
  lei q: cleanup store initialization
  lei: dump and clear errors.log in daemon mode
  lei_xsearch: keep l2m->{-wq_s1} while preparing query
  lei_to_mail: call PublicInbox::IPC::DESTROY
