This is a minimal attempt to keep consistency in the Makefiles so that
moving ficl to somwehere like contrib will be less error prone.

Apparently the libstand dosfs optimization is a bit too optimistic
and did introduce possible memory corruption.
This patch is backing out the bad part and since this results in
dosfs reading full blocks now, we can also remove extra offset argument
from dv_strategy callback.
The analysis of the issue and the backout patch is provided by Mikhail Kupchik.

The Makefile rule to create vers.c for loader version info was
previously duplicated in each of the various loader Makefiles.
Instead, share a common rule in Makefile.inc.

This change does modify devsw dv_print() to return the int value,
enabling walkers to interrupt the walk on non zero value from dv_print().
This will allow the pager_print actually to stop displaying data on
user input, and additionally pager is used in various *dev_print callbacks,
where it was missing.
For test, lsdev [-v] command should display data by screenfuls and should
stop when the key 'q' is pressed on pager prompt.

dev_net.c code.
The NETIF_OPEN_CLOSE_ONCE flag was added in r201932 to prevent that behaviour
on some architectures (sparc64 and powerpc64) the default was left to always
open and close the device for each open and close of a file by the loader
because it was necessary for u-boot on arm.
Since it has been added, the flag was turned on for every arches including the
u-boot loader for arm.
This also fixes netbooting on RPi3 (tested by gonzo@)
For the loader.efi it greatly speeds up netbooting

files and, in a number of these places, there were problems with how they
were declared.
Some used int return instead of time_t. On some architectures the bit
width of time_t did not naturally fit into an integer and could lead to
some unexpected behavior. (For example, 32-bit ARM builds uses a 64-bit
time_t.)
Make sure the function prototypes always specify void for the argument
list when they do not have any arguemnts, otherwise some compilers can
complain about the prototype.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy.
Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks.
Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device.
The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance.
To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache.

architectures, especially FDT-based ones, if similar features are useful
elsewhere.
Netboot support is missing for now and will be added in a future commit,
at which time loader.ps3 will be garbage collected.
