Update the NetBSD Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) runtime to work in
the FreeBSD kernel. It is a useful tool for finding data races between
threads executing on different CPUs.
This can be enabled by enabling KCSAN in the kernel config, or by using the
GENERIC-KCSAN amd64 kernel. It works on amd64 and arm64, however the later
needs a compiler change to allow -fsanitize=thread that KCSAN uses.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
instead of including the userland string.h header.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
