80bd109cd3 libsys: various updates
- move system calls for use by services from libminlib into libsys;
- move srv_fork(2) and srv_kill(2) from RS and into libsys;
- replace getprocnr(2) with sef_self(3);
- rename previous getnprocnr(2) to getprocnr(2);
- clean up getepinfo(2);
- change all libsys calls that used _syscall to use _taskcall, so as
  to avoid going through errno to pass errors; this is already how
  most calls work anyway, and many of the calls previously using
  _syscall were already assumed to return the actual error;
- initialize request messages to zero, for future compatibility
  (note that this does not include PCI calls, which are in need of a
  much bigger overhaul, nor kernel calls);
- clean up more of dead DS code as a side effect.

e5cc85fdc4 Extend dupfrom(2) into copyfd(2)
This single function allows copying file descriptors from and to
processes, and closing a previously copied remote file descriptor.
This function replaces the five FD-related UDS backcalls. While it
limits the total number of in-flight file descriptors to OPEN_MAX,
this change greatly improves crash recovery support of UDS, since all
in-flight file descriptors will be closed instead of keeping them
open indefinitely (causing VFS to crash on system shutdown). With the
new copyfd call, UDS becomes simpler, and the concept of filps is no
longer exposed outside of VFS.

This patch also moves the checkperms(2) stub into libminlib, thus
fully abstracting away message details of VFS communication from UDS.

dba2d1f8b4 VFS: add dupfrom(2) call
This call copies a file descriptor from a remote process into the
calling process. The call is for the VND driver only, and in the
future, ACLs will prevent any other process from using this call.

d19d7d58aa Toolchain upgrade and portability improvements.
upgrade to NetBSD CVS release from 2012/10/17 12:00:00 UTC

Makefiles updates to imporve portability

Made sure to be consistent in the usage of braces/parenthesis at
least on a per file basis. For variables, it is recommended to
continue to use braces.

f93afa00e9 Remove MINIXSRCDIR and use NETBSDSRCDIR
NETBSDSRCDIR is used all over the place anyway, and this reduces
our diff with NetBSD a little.

4b999f1962 build shared versions of libraries
building defaults to off until clang is updated.

current clang does not handle -shared, necessary to change the ld
invocation to build shared libraries properly. a new clang should be
installed and MKPIC defaults to no unless the newer clang is detected.

changes:

	. mainly small imports of a Makefile or two and small fixes
	  (turning things back on that were turned off in Makefiles)
	. e.g.: dynamic librefuse now depends on dynamic
	  libpuffs, so libpuffs has to be built dynamically too
	  and a make dependency barrier is needed in lib/Makefile
	. all library objects now have a PIC (for .so) and non-PIC
	  version, so everything is built twice.
	. generate PIC versions of the compat (un-RENAMEd) jump files,
	  include function type annotation in generated assembly
	. build progs with -static by default for now
	. also build ld.elf_so
	. also import NetBSD ldd

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
