adf2032bc0 vm: remove secondary cache code
This commit removes the secondary cache code implementation from
VM and its usage from libminixfs. It is to be replaced by a new
implementation.

32a4e0d84d many new tests
. test70: regression test for m_out vfs race condition

The following tests use testcache.c to generate test i/o
patterns, generate random write data and verify the reads.

	. test71: blackbox full-stack test of FS operation, testing
	  using the regular VFS interface crazy i/o patterns
	  with various working set sizes, triggering only
	  primary cache, also secondary cache, and finally
	  disk i/o and verifying contents all the time
	. test72: unit test of libminixfs, implementing
	  functions it needs from -lsys and -lblockdriver
	  and the client in order to simulate a working
	  cache client and backend environment.
	. test73: blackbox test of secondary vm cache in isolation

a89ec8bc3b can't get_block(NO_DEV) any more
. 'anonymous' cache blocks (retrieved with NO_DEV as dev
	  parameter) were used to implement read()s from holes in
	  inodes that should return zeroes
	. this is an awkward special case in the cache code though
	  and there's a more direct way to implement the same functionality:
	  instead of copying from a new, anonymous, zero block, to
	  the user target buffer, simply sys_safememset the user target
	  buffer directly. as this was the only use of this feature,
	  this is all that's needed to simplify the cache code a little.

bd3cde4571 Move primary cache code to libminixfs.
Add primary cache management feature to libminixfs as mfs and ext2
currently do separately, remove cache code from mfs and ext2, and make
them use the libminixfs interface. This makes all fields of the buf
struct private to libminixfs and FS clients aren't supposed to access
them at all. Only the opaque 'void *data' field (the FS block contents,
used to be called bp) is to be accessed by the FS client.

The main purpose is to implement the interface to the 2ndary vm cache
just once, get rid of some code duplication, and add a little
abstraction to reduce the code inertia of the whole caching business.

Some minor sanity checking and prohibition done by mfs in this code
as removed from the generic primary cache code as a result:
        - checking all inodes are not in use when allocating/resizing
          the cache
        - checking readonly filesystems aren't written to
        - checking the superblock isn't written to on mounted filesystems

The minixfslib code relies on fs_blockstats() in the client filesystem to
return some FS usage information.

a209c3ae12 Fix a ton of compiler warnings
This patch fixes most of current reasons to generate compiler warnings.
The changes consist of:
 - adding missing casts
 - hiding or unhiding function declarations
 - including headers where missing
 - add __UNCONST when assigning a const char * to a char *
 - adding missing return statements
 - changing some types from unsigned to signed, as the code seems to want
   signed ints
 - converting old-style function definitions to current style (i.e.,
   void func(param1, param2) short param1, param2; {...} to
   void func (short param1, short param2) {...})
 - making the compiler silent about signed vs unsigned comparisons. We
   have too many of those in the new libc to fix.

A number of bugs in the test set were fixed. These bugs were never
triggered with our old libc. Consequently, these tests are now forced to
link with the new libc or they will generate errors (in particular tests 43
and 55).

Most changes in NetBSD libc are limited to moving aroudn "#ifndef __minix"
or stuff related to Minix-specific things (code in sys-minix or gen/minix).

4857d5d554 add -lminixfs with fs support routines
. move cache size heuristic from mfs there
	  so mfs and ext2 can share it
	. add vfs credentials retrieving function, with
	  backwards compatability from previous struct
	  format, to be used by both ext2 and mfs
	. fix for ext2 - STATICINIT was fed no.
	  of bytes instead of no. of elements, overallocating
	  memory by a megabyte or two for the superblock
