bug#12658: [patches] some undocumented options in chcon

Hi,

The texi documentation of chcon does not mention the options
--dereference, --preserve-root and --no-preserve-root, while the
usage message just misses the latter two.  The third attached
patch fixes this, plus a missing word in the general description
of the --preserve options.

The second attached patch removes a stray parenthesis in the
documentation of cp.

In the description of --force for cp, saying that -f is redundant
when -n is specified makes it sound as if -n encompasses -f,
whereas in fact -n cancels, nullifies, overrides -f.  So the first
attached patch changes "redundant" to "ignored".

Regards,

Benno
