GNU test suite compatibility

The observed changes in the test results for the Rust Coreutils version 0.0.21 are attributed to our upgrade to use GNU Coreutils 9.4 as a reference for comparison. This newer version of GNU Coreutils introduced differences that are reflected in our test outcomes. Additionally, we've actively contributed to the GNU Coreutils by reorganizing tests into a more optimal structure, significantly enhancing the results of the GNU test coverage. More details can be found in our test coverage documentation.

Below is a summary of the progress. See https://github.com/uutils/coreutils-tracking/ for more details
