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

02081e4b62 rename mmap() and munmap()
. it's a good extra interface to have but doesn't
	  meet standardised functionality
	. applications (in pkgsrc) find it and expect
	  full functionality the minix mmap doesn't offter
	. on the whole probably better to hide these functions
	  (mmap and friends) until they are grown up; the base system
	  can use the new minix_* names

85f6d866e6 rename mmap MAP_SHARED to MAP_IPC_SHARED
. MAP_SHARED was used to implement sysv shared memory
	. used to signal shareable memory region to VM
	. assumptions about this situation break when processes
	  use MAP_SHARED for its normal, standardised meaning

0b8e20c89e Changes to the include files in order to make cross-compilation possible.
- The primary reason is that mkfs and installboot need to run natively during
  the cross compilation (host and target versions are compiled). There is a
  collision of include files though. E.g. a.out.h is very minix-specific.
  Therefore some files we moved and replaced by stubs that include the original
  file if compiling on or for Minix :
  
  include/a.out.h -> include/minix/a.out.h
  include/sys/dir.h -> include/minix/dir.h
  include/dirent.h -> include/minix/dirent.h
  include/sys/types.h -> include/minix/types.h

- This does not break any native compilation on Minix. Other headers that were
  including the original files are changed according to include directly the
  new, minix specific location not to pick up the host system includes while
  cross-compiling.

- role of this patch is to make rebasing of the build branch simpler until the
  new build system is merged

8a54d267f0 - VM_KERN_NOPAGEZERO feature is gone
- sys_getbiosbuffer feature is gone (from kernel; available from vm)
- bump version number because munmap() calls that newly compiled binaries
  will do trigger an ugly (but harmless) error message in older VM's
- some new VM calls and flags, the new IPC calls
- some new CR0 register bits
- added files for shared memory
