externalize the exec, program, and section headers as necessary.

the system's byte-order:
- host to {big,little}-endian {16,32}
- {big,little}-endian {16,32} to host
These are not intended to be used in libsa directly, but are rather
intended to be used by host tools which may use libsa routines (such
as loadfile()) which need to use explicit byte-ordering.
Make sure that each va_start has one and only one matching va_end,
especially in error cases.
If the va_list is used multiple times, do multiple va_starts/va_ends.
If a function gets va_list as argument, don't let it use va_end (since
it's the callers responsibility).

Inspired by, but not not based on, OpenBSD.
The e_shstrndx field in the ELF header, since we don't load .shstrtab.
The sh_name field in each section header, for the same reason.
The sh_offset field for any section we don't load.
This means the kernel has some chance of knowing what it's being given. It
also means that the behaviour of old kernels with new loaders should be
deterministic (if not terribly useful: they still can't find the symbol
table).
load those STRTAB sections that are referenced by a SYMTAB that we're loading.
The main advantage of this is that (at least with the binaries output by my
ARM ELF linker) this removes the need to seek backwards through the file, which
is a big win when loading a gzipped kernel.
While we're here, don't allocate space for string tables we don't load.

old SRM versions that wouldn't rewind DATs, but would return no
error on rewind callbacks)

directories and use .PATH to lookup the source files.
(Formerly, the libs were built from the source dirs, with MAKEOBJDIR
set to the compilation directory.)
This solves 2 problems:
-"mkdep" and "make" are now consistent about the file lookup, this fixes
bad interactions with amd reported in PR bin/7374 (Arne Juul) and
lossage reported by Andrew Gillham ("obj" dirs and relative paths still
don't work well together)

* Add prototype to libkern.h.
* Remove the almost-identical-copy from libsa/net.[ch].
* Change its type back to the (wrong, but harmless) historical one. (u_long)
* Kill the XXX local prototype in nfs_bootparam.c
size to be reduced substantially. (backward compatibility verified
by compiling one of the alpha boot blocks which uses all of the code
before and after, diffing the object files, and manually verifying that
the differences were 'correct'. some differences were "unavoidable,"
it wanting to avoid a double-commit, because e.g. local variables which
were previously used were no longer used.) a README which describes
supported options (or at least the ones mentioned below) is forthcoming.
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_NO_TWIDDLE, which
causes calls to twiddle() to be omitted if it's defined.
add support for the preprocessor macros:
LIBSA_NO_FS_CLOSE
LIBSA_NO_FS_WRITE
LIBSA_NO_FS_SEEK
which, if defined, cause the corresponding file system operations
in the individual file system implementations to be omitted. (note
that all of those macros are not supported by all file systems at
this point. comments were added to individual file system files
to indicate lack of support, and should be cleaned up later. Backward
compatibility options e.g. UFS_NOCLOSE, etc., are supported.)
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_NO_FS_SYMLINK, which
removes support for symbolic links from the file system support
functions. (same notes as for the macros above apply.)
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_FS_SINGLECOMPONENT which
removes all subdirectory and symlink support from the file system
support functions. (same notes as for the macros above apply.)
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_NO_FD_CHECKING, which
causes code relating to libsa file descriptor checks (e.g. range
checking and checking that a file descriptor is valid) to be
omitted if it's defined.
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_NO_RAW_ACCESS, which
causes code relating to raw device access to be omitted if it's
defined.
change some structure copies to use bcopy() instead. that way
use of bcopy vs. memcpy() can easily be selected by
LIBSA_USE_MEMCPY. (without changes like these, you could end up
having both bcopy() and memcpy() included. eventually, all
calls to bcopy should be changed to calls to memcpy() or memmove()
as appropriate -- hopefully never the latter -- with an option to
use bcopy instead.)
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_NO_DISKLABEL_MSGS, which
causes disklabel() to return '1' as msg rather than a string. Can
be used if the boot blocks don't care about the string, and need to
save the space.
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_SINGLE_FILESYSTEM, which
if defined causes all of the file system switch code to be removed.
Its value should be the name of the file system supported by the
boot block, e.g. "ufs" for the FFS file system. calls to the
file system functions open, close, etc., which were previously
done through a function switch are then done via direct invocation
of <fs>_open, <fs>_close, etc. (e.g. ufs_open, ...).
add support for the preprocessor macro LIBSA_SINGLE_DEVICE, which
does the equivalent of LIBSA_SINGLE_FILESYSTEM but for the device
switch table. Device entry pointes are expected to be named
<dev>foo, e.g. the 'strategy' routine used when LIBSA_SINGLE_DEVICE
is set to 'disk' is diskstrategy.
make ufs.c f_nindir array be unsigned ints. the fact that it was signed
caused ufs.c to require signed division routines (which were otherwise
unnecessary for a small boot block).
a small implementation of memcpy(). libsa memcpy() wouldn't
do the right thing if LIBSA_USE_MEMCPY was defined, and the whole
point of that define is to get rid of either bcopy() or memcpy().
(cloned from the bcopy() code.)
or LIBSA_USE_MEMCPY is defined. Most everything pulls in stand.h so
this should cover ports that only use memset/memcpy but still want to
pull in as much as possible from sys/lib/libsa.
not, depending on the port-specific environment.
Separate panic() and exit() so that the mi/default panic() can be used
without conflicting with a local exit() definition, move exit(void)
prototype to the default exit() implementation.

it leaves the default, so that if we check at the end of a file,
we don't set the file to uncompressed mode and blow up later lseeks
