664b726cd3 VFS: further cleanup of device code
- all TTY-related exceptions have now been merged into the regular
  code paths, allowing non-TTY drivers to expose TTY-like devices;
- as part of this, CTTY_MAJOR is now fully managed by VFS instead of
  being an ugly stepchild of the TTY driver;
- device styles have become completely obsolete, support for them has
  been removed throughout the system; same for device flags, which had
  already become useless a while ago;
- device map open/close and I/O function pointers have lost their use,
  thus finally making the VFS device code actually readable;
- the device-unrelated pm_setsid has been moved to misc.c;
- some other small cleanup-related changes.

7113bcb896 Redo mount(2)/umount(2) ABI
- pass in file system type through mount(2), and return this type in
  statvfs structures as generated by [f]statvfs(2);
- align mount flags field with NetBSD's, splitting out service flags
  which are not to be passed to VFS;
- remove limitation of mount ABI to 16-byte labels, so that labels
  can be made larger in the future;
- introduce new m11 message union type for mount(2) as side effect.

9131e98a7d utimens(2) system call
Variant of utime(2) with struct timespec (with ns precision)
instead of time_t values; also allows for tv_nsec members
the values UTIME_NOW (force update to current time) or
UTIME_OMIT (allow to set either atim or mtim independently.)

Provides a superset of utimes(2), futimes(2), lutimes(2),
and futimens(2).
Provides the same subset of utimensat(2) as does NetBSD 6.
Also import utimens() and lutimeNS() from NetBSD-current.

6f374faca5 Add "expected size" parameter to getsysinfo()
This patch provides basic protection against damage resulting from
differently compiled servers blindly copying tables to one another.
In every getsysinfo() call, the caller is provided with the expected
size of the requested data structure. The callee fails the call if
the expected size does not match the data structure's actual size.

b31119abf5 Mount updates:
- allow mounting with "none" block device
- allow unmounting by mountpoint
- make VFS aware of file system process labels
- allow m3_ca1 to use the full available message size
- use *printf in u/mount(1), as mount(2) uses it already
- fix reference leaks for some mount error cases in VFS

958b25be50 - Introduce support for sticky bit.
- Revise VFS-FS protocol and update VFS/MFS/ISOFS accordingly.
- Clean up MFS by removing old, dead code (backwards compatibility is broken by
  the new VFS-FS protocol, anyway) and rewrite other parts. Also, make sure all
  functions have proper banners and prototypes.
- VFS should always provide a (syntactically) valid path to the FS; no need for
  the FS to do sanity checks when leaving/entering mount points.
- Fix several bugs in MFS:
  - Several path lookup bugs in MFS.
  - A link can be too big for the path buffer.
  - A mountpoint can become inaccessible when the creation of a new inode
    fails, because the inode already exists and is a mountpoint.
- Introduce support for supplemental groups.
- Add test 46 to test supplemental group functionality (and removed obsolete
  suppl. tests from test 2).
- Clean up VFS (not everything is done yet).
- ISOFS now opens device read-only. This makes the -r flag in the mount command
  unnecessary (but will still report to be mounted read-write).
- Introduce PipeFS. PipeFS is a new FS that handles all anonymous and
  named pipes. However, named pipes still reside on the (M)FS, as they are part
  of the file system on disk. To make this work VFS now has a concept of
  'mapped' inodes, which causes read, write, truncate and stat requests to be
  redirected to the mapped FS, and all other requests to the original FS.
