Ben Gras 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

.Sh NAME
.Nm setsid
.Nd create session and set process group ID
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In unistd.h
.Ft pid_t
.Fn setsid "void"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm setsid
function creates a new session.
The calling process is the session leader of the new session, is the
process group leader of a new process group and has no controlling
terminal.
The calling process is the only process in either the session or the
process group.
.Pp
Upon successful completion, the
.Nm setsid
function returns the value of the process group ID of the new process
group, which is the same as the process ID of the calling process.
.Sh ERRORS
If an error occurs,
.Nm setsid
returns \-1 and the global variable
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error, as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Er
.It Bq Er EPERM
The calling process is already a process group leader, or the process
group ID of a process other than the calling process matches the process
ID of the calling process.
