Progress: Continue program related work, with emphasis on Featureless Make.
The common.h and related files are now broken up a little more.
There is now a common-string.h and common-type.h (with matching source files).
This should make it easier to navigate, particularly when there are a lot of functions, strings, and types.
Lots of tedious updates to the Featureless Make.
There are still a lot of structural changes to make.
Add more parameters to Featureless Make to address the documents and the licenses directories.
There is still more work to do with those parameters.
Fix some observed mistakes in the level_0 console code.

Security: NULL pointer dereference in writer due to pipe function result handling.

The status_pipe is being read and processed.
There is a case where the status_pipe is being set but it is not being reset after handling.
In a later loop the pipe does not get read but the previously set state is used bringing the code into a bad state.
Then the loop doesn't do the block buffer used check and this results in the eventual NULL dereference.

Do not generate a new argument when calling fake_make_operate_expand_context().
The color context should combine with existing arguments.
This does not handle the last context argument and more work is likely needed to handle that one.

Cleanup: Fix license confusion.
The documentation should be under the cc-by-sa-4.0 license.

This file is documentation on the time specification.
If the documentation is under another license, the standard it describes must still be followed according to the open-standard-license-1.0 license.
The documentation would have to communicate that the standard it is describing is still under the open-standard-license-1.0 license even if the documentation itself is under a different license.
This creates a confusing and misleading situation.
