tail: Process bytes with -c option, and add -m option for runes

Browse Source 
POSIX says that -c specifies a number of bytes, not characters. This
flag is commonly used by scripts that operate on binary files to things
like extract a header. Treating the offsets as character offsets will
break things in mysterious ways.

Instead, add a -m option (chosen to match `wc -m`, which also operates
on characters) to handle character offsets.
