2fe8fb192f Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.

Changes in this commit:

	. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
	. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
	  can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
	. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
	. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
	. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
	  commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
	. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
	. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
	. test compile fix
	. harmonize includes
	. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
	  kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
	  is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
	  less on the state of the machine making them now.
	. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
	. reduce mtree

8979450631 Rotate kernels/images/modules.
Kernels and system services are stored in a single directory in the
/boot/minix/ and rotated like /boot/images. /boot/minix_latest slink
is created automatically.
System serives are prefixed by "modNN_" to allow to easily load them
using "mod*" pattern.

fa6c4a2580 Port installboot as installboot_nbsd and rename the old one.
Also following functionality was added:
- Add install_master to the installboot from NetBSD.
- Check if enough space for bootxx.

Old installboot was renamed to installboot_minix.

cedeabb357 mainstream-format fstab format
. detect both formats in /etc/rc
	. generate new format in setup
	. obsoletes /etc/fstab.local: everything can go in /etc/fstab
	. put shutdown/reboot/halt and a copy of /usr/adm/wtmp
	  (/etc/wtmp) on root FS so that we can do shutdown checks before
	  mounting /usr
	. new fstab format makes getfsent() and friends work

df0ba02a38 Multiboot support (contributed by Feiran "Fam" Zheng);
keep in mind that GRUB needs to be patched to read MFS for now;
use /boot/image_latest to boot the last compiled image in GRUB

daca9de450 Fix to make making a bootable cd possible again.
ow that the image has grown beyond the 1.44M that fits on a floppy.
(previously, the floppy emulation mode was used for cd's.)

the boot cd now uses 'no emulation mode,' where an image is provided on
the cd that is loaded and executed directly. this is the boot monitor.

in order to make this work (the entry point is the same as where the
image is loaded, and the boot monitor needs its a.out header too) and
keep compatability with the same code being used for regular booting, i
prepended 16 bytes that jumps over its header so execution can start
there.

to be able to read the CD (mostly in order to read the boot image),
boot has to use the already present 'extended read' call, but address
the CD using 2k sectors.

e248f7c1a3 If the file (created by setup) exists, use boot parameters from there
for the boot floppy instead of copying it from the current root partition.
This makes making a boot floppy at installation time before booting from
the new system possible (conveniently).

5415e8280f More polishing to the boot and release process. Highlights:
. Less dependency on scripts to be executable (they're in cvs)
	. issue.install is the /etc/issue that goes on an install CD
	  for instructions (but not on the installed system)
	. /usr/src goes on the CD uncompressed
