bug#18808: implement 'tail -r' as synonym for 'tac'

Subject: bug#18808: implement 'tail -r' as synonym for 'tac'

User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.2.0

POSIX is considering standardizing the Solaris/BSD behavior of 'tail -r'
rather than adding the GNU extension of 'tac' as a separate utility:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=877

This bug report serves as a reminder that we need to add 'tail -r'
support to coreutils, as well as a request for reviewers for the current
state of the proposal to make sure that it is not an onerous burden for
adding that code.
