Move the cache-flushing behavior into an undocumented option, so that one does not have to recompile to test it. (Drops setgid.)

Support the -e (--existing) option from mlocate. This can be useful if recently having deleted some files, and not wanting to do a database rebuild. Note that we don't support the --nofollow option (--follow is the default), since it's not clear what it would be useful for, and the mlocate source code says it “looks like a historical accident”.

Escape unprintable characters when outputting filenames to a terminal. Filenames are generally untrusted, and can contain any kind of cruft. In particular, there have been terminals (hopefully not in wide use anymore!) that will do insanity like running specific commands when seeing a specific escape sequence. More prosaically, embedded newlines can make for confusing output. Thus, escape any nonprintable characters in a shell-parseable way, much the same way GNU ls does these days. Also escape quotes, backslashes and the likes to make sure nothing unescaped looks like it's escaped. This doesn't mean it's safe to take whatever and parse it uncritically (we don't escape $, for instance), but it's generally good enough. Escaping is disabled when doing zero-terminated output, or when printing to a pipe or file.

Implement the -N/--literal option. This matches the GNU coreutils option to turn off the automatic quoting of special characters when printing to a tty.
