Hasn't worked for at least 20 years (and never in the cross-build environment,
nor did it work with parallel make), and has never been needed in NetBSD as we
don't have the older BSD programs (pascal, pre-nvi ex) that needed mkstr/xstr
on PDP-11.

Remove support for building extsrc/:
1. Makefile: remove do-extsrc target.
2. build.sh: remove options -y and -Y extsrcdir.
3. distrib/sets: remove support for extsrc in various tools
including the options -L ext and -y, and the extsrc sets.
4. doc/BUILDING.mdoc: remove docs for extsrc/, EXTSRCSRCDIR, MKEXTSRC (etc)
5. bsd.own.mk and various Makefiles: remove support for extsrc/,
EXTSRCSRCDIR, MKEXTSRC.
As proposed on tech-kern and tech-userlevel on 2022-01-07
and followed up on 2022-08-21.
allow conditionally disabling the building of certain user space
programs in the 'base' set.
There is not enough consensus that this is the right way and a few
people had strong objections, see source-changes-d@.
MKKDEBUG -> MKDEBUGKERNEL
MKTOOLSDEBUG -> MKDEBUGTOOLS
while keeping compatibility with the old names. Add missing documentation.
Now all debugging tunables are prefixed with MKDEBUG.
as the name implies, includes a netbsd.gdb inside each kernel set:

libraries. We want to lint the private library code and we want to be able
to link against the lint libraries, for example llib-largon2 from cgdconfig
which is accessed via PROGDPLIBS.
partial RELRO when MKRELRO=full is set.
Currently the X server needs to be compiled with only partial RELRO
due to the way certain (but not all - it seems wsfb works with full
RELRO) graphics driver modules are loaded.
Normally, functions called from mcount.c are expected to be expanded inline,
so _mcount() will never be called recursively. But when build with COPTS=-O0,
`static inline' functions aren't inlined, and _mcount() will be called
recursively.
Even if _mcount() has `__attribute__((__no_ instrument_function__))',
it has no effect on the calling external (no-inlined) function.
To avoid this, PROF.<fn> is added can be set the profiling flag of any file.
"PROF.mcount.c" is set to blank by default, mcount.c itself is compiled
without -pg.
This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.
Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.
An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.

2. Don't compare ${LIBISPRIVATE} to "yes", because there are 3 places in
Makefiles which set it to empty (this was a bug)
3. For private libraries, don't create .so* files
