c90c06ef59 sparc: documentation about the boot process and useful commands
I didn't do anything with sparc for a few weeks (you don't want this
machine running when temperatures already are over 30°...), and I wastd
some time finding back some of the useful information, such as commands
to boot and debug, load and execution address of the bootloader program,
etc. So let's keep these in the documentation directory.

506f9764d4 Some notes about openboot.
As I keep looking for the commands to do anything...

Next step is to figure out network booting and set up an easy way to
test haiku_loader.

18a8edbf0e docs/develop: More reorganization.
* There is now a 'busses' folder, and the extant USB/SDHCI/Bluetooth/etc.
   docs now live in it, instead of various other places.
 * kernel/ports is now kernel/arch, like it is in src/system.
   SPARC documentation is now in there, too.
 * VM files (these are rather outdated) are now in kernel/vm.
 * SCSI ASC info removed, this is easily available online and
   it doesn't seem to be very relevant.

4b2da9c371 glibc: cleanup long double support
- Add 128 bit long double support from current glibc and a few headers
  they need
- Move the existing 80 bit float support in a sub directory of generic,
  it is not universal to all archs (see file added in docs/develop/arch).
  Also include some new .h files for x86 that are needed after these
  changes (from newer versions of the glibc).
- Adjust Jamfiles for m68k, x86 and x86_64 to use the 80bit format
- Do not adjust arm jamfiles, it was wrongly using 80bit long double and
  should be fixed to use 64bit instead (which means the double functions
  can be used with aliases)
- Do not adjust powerpc jamfiles, because it uses yet another format and
  we build it without long double support anyways.

Note that I moved only the files that were creating compile errors,
quite likely more of the s_* and e_* files need to be moved to the
specific directories, see glibc list here:

3369e03d5c HaikuDepot: Process and Data-loading Improvements
This change is a reshuffle of the backend processing involved in the
aquisition of data from servers including the pull-down and load of
HPKR data as well as the pull-down and load of data from the
HaikuDepotServer (HDS) system.  The driver for this change is to
implement an initial implementation of a progress bar for the
loading of data as the application starts.

The following are notable changes;

* Removed some previously attempted 'functional style' logic in the
  model which didn't fit well with C++
* Use of the base-url in the logical mapping from HDS and HD data is no
  longer required and has been removed
* Some logging has been improved making it clearer which part of HD
  is producing the logging which in turn helps with debugging issues
* List class has been modified to more cleanly support sorted lists
  and binary searches; tests have also be updated accordingly
* Reorganise and tidy-up of the data-loading processes' structures
* The local repository update (HPKR) and data-load occur in background
  processes now in the same system as the HDS data-load - this has been
  crudely shifted from the MainWindow to new Processes and incorporated
  into the background processing system
* The 'state-machine' background process runner is now replaced with a
  'coordinator' style approach that can more easily handle the new
  processes related to HPKR loading.
* Progress for loading processes is shown in the main window in the
  WorkStatusView - this is flickering a bit, but basically works
* Added some documentation regarding how Processes work in the system
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item now also updates data from HDS
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item is disabled when the background
  processes are running that update the repository data

Some further refinement would be good, but this change is large enough
for one round of improvements.  There is an issue that the status bar
is used for screenshot display as well as this data-loading, but that
was the case before so it is something that can be dealt with later if
it is a problem.

* Adds max width and height arguments to
  instantiate_deskbar_(item|entry).
* Old applications just stay with a 16x16 scaled icon, though.
* All used apps within the repository are converted to the new call
  besides the input_server input method icon (that will need further
  API changes in the input_server).

61206a24c9 build: Cleanup of libgnuregex usage.
John's revert of my removal commit dragged back a bunch of cygwin/sunos
cruft, as well as re-adding RegExp.cpp to the host libshared, that we don't
need.

Instead, remove this and add libgnuregex_build to just the tools/keymap
link alongside the FreeBSD gnuregex case.

- Remove the Courier font from the package and from the source tree.
