66422f5b7a Initiate deorbit burn for the i386-only a.out related support. Moves are
under way to move the remnants of the a.out toolchain to ports.  As the
comment in src/Makefile said, this stuff is deprecated and one should not
expect this to remain beyond 4.0-REL.  It has already lasted WAY beyond
that.

Notable exceptions:
gcc - I have not touched the a.out generation stuff there.
ldd/ldconfig - still have some code to interface with a.out rtld.
old as/ld/etc - I have not removed these yet, pending their move to ports.
some includes - necessary for ldd/ldconfig for now.

Tested on: i386 (extensively), alpha

c34fd0a79a Try #2 at having /boot/loader default to ELF. Have pxeldr build its
own a.out version of loader.bin rather than depend on ../loader/loader
being a.out.

7684ab55c6 Allow for text section alignment to properly align the "end" symbol at the
actual end of the section. The new gas (binutils) puts in additional padding
which was misaligning the concatenated btx loader.

exactly the same as passing -P to boot2.

a1a611ed6b Grrr, fix a silly 'movl' -> 'movw' typo in both pxeldr and cdldr. Also,
remove unnecessary cruft from the Makefiles for both.

638bac9fc0 Clean up all of the 16-bit assembly code in the x86 bootstrap to work
with the new binutils.  Now that we have a decent assembler, all the old
m4 macros are no longer needed.  Instead, straight assembly can be used
since as(1) now understands 16-bit addressing, branches, etc.  Also,
several bugs have been fixed in as(1), allowing boot0.s to be further
cleaned up.

325bde0fb7 Remove metion of the 'magic options.' Apparently PXE doesn't require the
special options on 0.99c (it mumbles something about 'PXE server not found'
but works anyway), and it won't work at all with PXE 2.0.

48a0c4ea04 Mega i386 loader commit.
- Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader.  Instead add
  src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the
  entry point for the loader.  Move the loader's entry point up to
  0x20000, which makes PXE happy.
- Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE,
  instead use m4 to achieve this.  Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the
  btxldr Makefile to turn this option on.
- Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot
  instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that.  Also, add in some more
  variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease
  maintainability.
- Teach cdldr about the a.out format.  Cdldr now parsers the a.out header
  of the loader binary and relocates it based on that.  The entry point of
  the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr.  Also, the boot
  info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot.
- Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems
  (such as DOS FAT) that we currently support.  This is still buggy as
  it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and
  parses it as such.  I'll be fixing this in the future.
- The biggie:  Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network
  adapters.  Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS.
  Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus
  allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.
