Hash :c9eb8569 Message :Fix bootstrap on macOS (#965)
* bootstrap: Verify functionality of sed
Check for the existence of sed by running a simple substitution rather
than using the --version flag. This lets us remove the weird exclusion
of FreeBSD from checking the sed requirement, and fixes checking the sed
requirement on other systems like macOS that use BSD sed, which doesn't
support --version.
* bootstrap: Detect flag for sed extended RE
Detect whether sed needs -E or -r to enable extended regular
expressions. Fixes bootstrap on macOS, whose BSD sed does not support
-r.
GNU sed has supported -E as a synonym for -r since version 4.2 (2009),
initially as an undocumented option for compatibility with BSD sed:

and later as a documented option after -E became POSIX:
