Add the oldest() and newest() functions
It compares potentially existing pathnames, printing the oldest and
newest among them by modification time, respectively.
$ . /lib/gentoo/functions.sh
$ newest /etc/*
/etc/environment.d
$ printf '%s\0' /etc/* | newest
/etc/environment.d
Support for pathnames containing <newline> characters may be added once
read -d becomes broadly supported.
