use standard cp arguments #571

Description

@bradain

The cp command takes an argument -a as a shortcut for -pPR.
While this works on most Linux distributions, it is not available on certain other operating systems such as OpenBSD, while the standard -pPR always works.
Would you consider replacing cp -af with the functionally equivalent cp -fpPR to improve OS support?
