zfsloader as a hard link. While newer ones do, the whole point of the
link was to transition to the new world order smoothly. A hard link is
less flexible, but it works and will result in fewer bumps. Adjust
UPDATING entry to match.
We no longer really need a separate zfsloader. It was useful when we
were first supporting ZFS and had limited ability to properly boot off
of ZFS without the special boot loader. Now that the boot loader has
matured, go the way loader.efi pioneered and just build one
binary. Change the name of the loader to load in the secondary boot
blocks to be just /boot/loader. Provide a symbolic link from zfsloader
to loader so people who have not upgraded their boot blocks are not
affected. This has the happy benefit of making coexistence easier as
well (fewer binaries in the matrix).

This moves the bulk of the geli support from lib386/biosdisk.c into a new
geli/gelidev.c which implements a devsw-type device whose dv_strategy()
function handles geli decryption. Support for all arches comes from moving
the taste-and-attach code to the devopen() function in libsa.
After opening any DEVT_DISK device, devopen() calls the new function
geli_probe_and_attach(), which will "attach" the geli code to the open_file
struct by creating a geli_devdesc instance to replace the disk_devdesc
instance in the open_file. That routes all IO for the device through the
geli code.
A new public geli_add_key() function is added, to allow arch/vendor-specific
code to add keys obtained from custom hardware or other sources.
With these changes, geli support will be compiled into all variations of
loader(8) on all arches because the default is WITH_LOADER_GELI.

Move the libzfs stuff into libsa. There's no need for it to be a
separate library. The separate library adds to the issues of build
ordering that we see from time to time. Move the filesystem support
into libsa, like all the other filesystem support rather than making
zfs the odd-duck out.

Reduce by 1 the number of crazy libraries we need in stand by moving
geli into libsa (where architecturally it belonged all along). This
just moves things around without any code changes.
The Makefile gives the impression that ext2fs and msdos were excluded
(they weren't) and that you could exclude cd9660 and ufs support (you
couldn't). Allow those to be excluded.
We need to look, in the future, at trimming the number of supported
filesystems, and this will make that easier.
preference to LIBFICL{,32}. LIBFICL{,32} are now always defined, but
LDR_INTERP{,32} is defined empty when building w/o forth (aka the
simple interpreter) and defined to LIBFICL{,32} when we are building
forth.
MK_CTF, MK_SSP, MK_PROFILE, NO_PIC, and INTERNALLIB are always the
same, so set them in defs.mk. MAN= is common, so set it here too.
This removes a lot of boring repetition from the Makefiles that added
almost no value.
HELP_FILES is a loader only thing, so move it to loader.mk. Only
generate the help file if HELP_FILES is defined. Adjust Makefiles to
new convention. Fix a few cases where ${.CURDIR}/ was missing
resulting in missing bits from the help files.
