new dd(1) conversions
The dd(1) program has acquired three new conversions.  conv=crlf replaces
crin(1), conv=nl replaces crout(1), and conv=trim replaces the old V6
"trim" program.  See dd(1).

Beware that one obvious possibility, "dd if=/dev/cr of=foo cbs=80 conv=trim",
does not work because the card reader lacks end-of-file signalling and dd
buffers its output (which means you lose data if you just kill dd).  Until
we do something about EOF signalling on the card reader, the existing
practice of copying /dev/cr to a disk file first and THEN worrying about
conversion must continue.
