[Bug 2055895] [NEW] cp -n prints warning on stderr

[Nick Rosbrook]

Public bug reported:

With coreutils, cp -n will start printing a warning on stderr:

  cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future;
use --update=none instead

See the debian bug for some more context: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1058752

This change may cause issues in other packages autopkgtest (given the
stderr output) or elsewhere, so this bug is used to track such cases.
