Create libdl.so.1 as a filter for libc.so.7 which exports public dl*
functions. The functions are resolved from the rtld instead, the goal
of creating library is to avoid errors from the static linker due to
missed libdl. For static binaries, an empty .o is compiled into
libdl.a so that static binaries still get dl stubs from libc.a.
Right now lld cannot create filter objects, disable libdl on arm64
when binutils are not used.

An important improvement has been made as well in makewhatis performance:
Tests on my laptop shows makewhatis on the entire system goes from 26s to 12s
After calling the cap_init(3) function Casper will fork from it's original
process, using pdfork(2). Forking from a process has a lot of advantages:
1. We have the same cwd as the original process.
2. The same uid, gid and groups.
3. The same MAC labels.
4. The same descriptor table.
5. The same routing table.
6. The same umask.
7. The same cpuset(1).
From now services are also in form of libraries.
We also removed libcapsicum at all and converts existing program using Casper
to new architecture.

system call information such as system call arguments. Initially this
will consist of pulling duplicated code out of truss and kdump though it
may prove useful for other utilities in the future.
This commit moves the shared utrace(2) record parser out of kdump into
the library and updates kdump and truss to use it. One difference from
the previous version is that the library version treats unknown events
that start with the "RTLD" signature as unknown events. This simplifies
the interface and allows the consumer to decide how to handle all
non-recognized events. Instead, this function only generates a string
description for known malloc() and RTLD records.

allows the user to request administrative changes to individual devices
such as attach or detaching drivers or disabling and re-enabling devices.
- Add a new /dev/devctl2 character device which uses ioctls for device
requests. The ioctls use a common 'struct devreq' which is somewhat
similar to 'struct ifreq'.
- The ioctls identify the device to operate on via a string. This
string can either by the device's name, or it can be a bus-specific
address. (For unattached devices, a bus address is the only way to
locate a device.) Bus drivers register an eventhandler to claim
unrecognized device names that the driver recognizes as a valid address.
Two buses currently support addresses: ACPI recognizes any device
in the ACPI namespace via its full path starting with "\" and
the PCI bus driver recognizes an address specification of
'pci[<domain>:]<bus>:<slot>:<func>' (identical to the PCI selector
strings supported by pciconf).
- To make it easier to cut and paste, change the PnP location string
in the PCI bus driver to output a full PCI selector string rather
than 'slot=<slot> function=<func>'.
- Add a devctl(3) interface in libdevctl which provides a wrapper around
the ioctls and is the preferred interface for other userland code.
- Add a devctl(8) program which is a simple wrapper around the requests
supported by devctl(3).
- Add a device_is_suspended() function to check DF_SUSPENDED.
- Add a resource_unset_value() function that can be used to remove a
hint from the kernel environment. This is used to clear a
hint.<driver>.<unit>.disabled hint when re-enabling a boot-time
disabled device.

This is a thin wrapper around the kernel interface which should make
it easier to write GPIO applications. gpioctl(8) will be converted to
use this library in a separate commit.

IPX was a network transport protocol in Novell's NetWare network operating
system from late 80s and then 90s. The NetWare itself switched to TCP/IP
as default transport in 1998. Later, in this century the Novell Open
Enterprise Server became successor of Novell NetWare. The last release
that claimed to still support IPX was OES 2 in 2007. Routing equipment
vendors (e.g. Cisco) discontinued support for IPX in 2011.
Thus, IPX won't be supported in FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE.
