pgrep/pkill: fix -x to also match comm field

When running `pgrep -x example` against a process `/bin/example --arg`,
BusyBox fails to match, while GNU pgrep succeeds. The reason is that the
comparison is done only against the full argv[0] rather than comm. This
patch changes pgrep -x to also try /proc/[pid]/comm for exact matching.

ls: restore functionality of --color

Since commit 551bfdb97 (ls: implement -q, fix -w0, reduce startup
time) the '--color' option behaves as though the default argument
'always' had been specified.

This is due to an explicit short option for '--color' being given,
but without specifying that an argument is expected.

lineedit: fix PS1='\W' for root directory

'\W' in PS1 returned an empty string for the root directory. bash
displays '/' in similar circumstances.

Avoid returning an empty string for the directory.

last: fix ignoring the first login entry

The first login entry is ignored if a log file contains more than one
entry. To fix it, do not break the while loop if the offset is zero.

cp: fix `cp -aT` overwriting symlink to directories

busybox cp refuses to overwrite another symlink to a directory due to
an incorrect stat() call that should be lstat(). When using -T, we want
to consider the target argument directly without resolving symlinks.
