copy() lands a source below the destination root, taking at most the
source's basename, so there is no way to land it at its source path, as cp
--parents does.
Add a parents flag that requests just that.

Using a FileContext, notably with its chroot flag set, is useful as a
tree source in copy(), so allow it.

copy() copies a single file: it fetches the source root as one content and
puts it at the destination, so addressing a directory source fails, and
there is no way to mirror a tree between file contexts.
Add a recursive mode:
- a directory source is mirrored below the destination root, into it if the
root is an existing directory, as it if it does not exist yet
- entries are enumerated with readdir(), destination directories are
created level by level, and every leaf is put with the requested owner,
group, and mode
- a file source is unaffected, and the destination parent must exist, as
before
posix copy exposes the mode as -r/--recursive; the help test reference
picks up the new option.
