Update to 1.0.4. This version can accept several input files or
RNG inputs, rather than just one, and can generate numerous output
files, rather than just two. It now requires GNU make.
Add a patch to use mkstemp() rather than tempnam() so temporary
files are created with safe permissions. With the unpatched version,
local users can read sensitive information if pad is run in a
world-readable directory (the bug is not present in 0.x versions).
Turn over maintainership to submitter.

PR: 27323 and 32810
Install the man page.
Fix spelling of "omitted" in pad.1 and pad.c. Clarify warning
message about inputs with unequal sizes.
Generate the packing list just before installation.
I put the distfile on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL because the home site is
offline. The checksum on my copy differs from the one in PR 27323.
