For VFS, initialization is a special case for processing work: PFS
and the ramdisk MFS must be fully mounted before VFS can process any
other requests, in particular from init(8). This case was handled by
receiving reply messages only from the FS service being mounted, but
this effectively disallowed PFS from calling setuid(2) at startup.
This patch lets VFS receive all messages during the mounting process,
but defer processing any new requests. As a result, the FS services
have a bit more freedom in what they can do during startup.

This patch fixes two related issues:
- If a large (>PIPE_BUF) pipe write is processed partially, only to be
followed by a write error condition, then the process is left in an
incorrect state, possibly causing VFS to crash on a subsequent call.
- If such a partially processed large pipe write ends up resulting in
an EPIPE error, no corresponding SIGPIPE signal is generated.
The corrected behavior is tested in test68.

From the termcap section of the GNU termutils manual:
"There is no way you can tell how much space is needed, so the convention
is to allocate a buffer 2048 characters long and assume that is enough.
(Formerly the convention was to allocate 1024 characters and assume that
was enough. But one day, for one kind of terminal, that was not
enough.)"

__STDC__ is used to mitigate the differences between K&R C and the
ANSI C standard. Nearly every compiler now supports ANSI C, so
there is no need to support non-standard compilers.

* Remove undef NULL, EOF, getchar, putchar
* Rename putchar, getchar, _putchar, _getchar to putch, getch, _putch,
_getch to avoid conflict with libc functions.
* Rename UP() to UP1() (for UP 1 line) to avoid conflict with UP
definition in termcap.h. Rename DN1 LF1 RT1 for consistency.
* Add termcap.h for prototypes for tputs and friends.
* Add libterminfo references to Makefile
* Add return value to _putch() to make it work as tputs expects.
* Make putch() call _putch()
* Remove UNIX ifdefs and all code in the !UNIX branches.

Removes the following man pages:
* awk.1x -- for a version of awk we no longer have
* kermit.1x -- seems gone altogether
* macros.1x -- not useful for anyone anymore
Moves the following man pages:
* mined.1x -- Moved to minix/commands/mined/mined.1
and reformatted to use the mdoc macros instead of the
Minix macros so that it displays properly.
Removes /usr/man/man1x from the directory tree.

The escape sequences for the function keys used to be separated
out in older versions of Minix when they were different for m68k
and intel. Support for m68k was dropped and that code was
removed, leaving the ifdef i386. Since the sequences are the
same for i386 and arm, there is no need to keep the ifdef i386.

It used to refer to several NIL_* definitions. Those were removed
in commit 6e25ad8b0a leaving the

Trying to boot Minix3 master on an appliance/sbc like ALIX fails, as
the service command throws an error. Making the rc script more robust
solves it.

This allows to both override the default package repository and

Also use everywhere PACKAGEURL.

Seems like its a kind of convention introduced by Intel but not
mandatory from a PCI specification point of view, that the PCI host
controller resides on bus 0, device 0 function 0. At least tinybios
(the bios used by ALIX and WRAP) based appliances are not able to boot
with this change.

We already had a hack to ignore the precision, but the ACPI driver
requires an actual implementation--it prints garbage at the end of
some strings otherwise. This patch adds support for precision for
strings only, limiting printing to the given number of characters.
For all other specifiers, precision is still unsupported.
