Pull together the nearly identical copies of set_currdev in i386,
userboot and efi. Other boot loaders have variances that might be fine
to use the common routine, or not. Since they are harder to test for me,
and ofw and uboot do handle these setting differently, leave them be for
now.

Since dev_cleanup() walks through all the devsw devices with dv_cleanup
rotuines, move it into libsa rather than having it in
'common'. Logically, it operates only on things that are in libsa, and
would never be different for different loaders: either people would call
it as is, or they'd do the loop themselves with 'special' things inline
between calls to cleanup (not that I think that will ever be needed
though).

Replace 4 identical copies of *_setcurrdev with gen_setcurrdev to avoid
having to create a 5th copy. uboot_setcurrdev is actually different and
needs to remain separate (even though it's quite similar).

The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.
