we're ELF now, and there are many missing checks against OBJECT_FMT.
if we ever consider switching, the we can figure out what new ones
we need but for now it's just clutter.
this doesn't remove any of the support for exec_aout or any actually
required-for-boot a.out support, only the ability to build a netbsd
release in a.out format. ie, most of this code has been dead for
over a decade.
i've tested builds on vax, amd64, i386, mac68k, macppc, sparc, atari,
amiga, shark, cats, dreamcast, landisk, mmeye and x68k. this covers
the 5 MACHINE_ARCH's affected, and all the other arch code touched.
it also includes some actual run-time testing of sparc, i386 and
shark, and i performed binary comparison upon amiga and x68k as well.
some minor details relevant:
- move shlib.[ch] from ld.aout_so into ldconfig proper, and cut them
down to only the parts ldconfig needs
- remove various unused source files
- switch amiga bootblocks to using elf2bb.h instead of aout2bb.h
tells whether it should detect and convert to binary a hexadecimal octet
string of the form 0x0123ABab, or leave those strings undecoded.
If the argument for a 'media', 'mediamode', 'mediaopt', '-mediaopt',
'nwkey', or 'bssid' keyword is a hexadecimal octet string, do not detect
and decode it. (Note that setifnwkey decodes hexadecimal strings on its
own.)
This fixes a bug noticed by Jim Miller where the trailing zero-octets
were discarded from hexadecimal octet-string arguments for 'nwkey'.

While here modify snap_open() to accept a character device as its
first arg and remove now unneeded get_snap_device().
