718cf2ccb9 sys/dev: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
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.

b4b1c5169d Replace syscons terminal renderer by a new renderer that uses libteken.
Some time ago I started working on a library called libteken, which is
terminal emulator. It does not buffer any screen contents, but only
keeps terminal state, such as cursor position, attributes, etc. It
should implement all escape sequences that are implemented by the
cons25 terminal emulator, but also a fair amount of sequences that are
present in VT100 and xterm.

A lot of random notes, which could be of interest to users/developers:

- Even though I'm leaving the terminal type set to `cons25', users can
  do experiments with placing `xterm-color' in /etc/ttys. Because we
  only implement a subset of features of xterm, this may cause
  artifacts. We should consider extending libteken, because in my
  opinion xterm is the way to go. Some missing features:

  - Keypad application mode (DECKPAM)
  - Character sets (SCS)

- libteken is filled with a fair amount of assertions, but unfortunately
  we cannot go into the debugger anymore if we fail them. I've done
  development of this library almost entirely in userspace. In
  sys/dev/syscons/teken there are two applications that can be helpful
  when debugging the code:

  - teken_demo: a terminal emulator that can be started from a regular
    xterm that emulates a terminal using libteken. This application can
    be very useful to debug any rendering issues.

  - teken_stress: a stress testing application that emulates random
    terminal output. libteken has literally survived multiple terabytes
    of random input.

- libteken also includes support for UTF-8, but unfortunately our input
  layer and font renderer don't support this. If users want to
  experiment with UTF-8 support, they can enable `TEKEN_UTF8' in
  teken.h. If you recompile your kernel or the teken_demo application,
  you can hold some nice experiments.

- I've left PC98 the way it is right now. The PC98 platform has a custom
  syscons renderer, which supports some form of localised input. Maybe
  we should port PC98 to libteken by the time syscons supports UTF-8?

- I've removed the `dumb' terminal emulator. It has been broken for
  years. It hasn't survived the `struct proc' -> `struct thread'
  conversion.

- To prevent confusion among people that want to hack on libteken:
  unlike syscons, the state machines that parse the escape sequences are
  machine generated. This means that if you want to add new escape
  sequences, you have to add an entry to the `sequences' file. This will
  cause new entries to be added to `teken_state.h'.

- Any rendering artifacts that didn't occur prior to this commit are by
  accident. They should be reported to me, so I can fix them.

42af95a3c2 Use __FBSDID().
Also some minor style cleanups.

f41325db5f With this commit, I hereby pronounce gensetdefs past its use-by date.
Replace the a.out emulation of 'struct linker_set' with something
a little more flexible.  <sys/linker_set.h> now provides macros for
accessing elements and completely hides the implementation.

The linker_set.h macros have been on the back burner in various
forms since 1998 and has ideas and code from Mike Smith (SET_FOREACH()),
John Polstra (ELF clue) and myself (cleaned up API and the conversion
of the rest of the kernel to use it).

The macros declare a strongly typed set.  They return elements with the
type that you declare the set with, rather than a generic void *.

For ELF, we use the magic ld symbols (__start_<setname> and
__stop_<setname>).  Thanks to Richard Henderson <rth@redhat.com> for the
trick about how to force ld to provide them for kld's.

For a.out, we use the old linker_set struct.

NOTE: the item lists are no longer null terminated.  This is why
the code impact is high in certain areas.

The runtime linker has a new method to find the linker set
boundaries depending on which backend format is in use.

linker sets are still module/kld unfriendly and should never be used
for anything that may be modular one day.

e39756439c Back out the previous change to the queue(3) interface.
It was not discussed and should probably not happen.

740a1973a6 Change the way that the queue(3) structures are declared; don't assume that
the type argument to *_HEAD and *_ENTRY is a struct.

8f8e587948 Use config's conditional compilation rather than using #ifdefs that make
modular compilation harder.  I'm doing this because people seem to like
cut/pasting examples of bad practices in existing code.

2b944ee2b9 This is the 3rd stage of syscons code reorganization.
- Split terminal emulation code from the main part of the driver so
that we can have alternative terminal emulator modules if we like in
the future.  (We are not quite there yet, though.)

- Put sysmouse related code in a separate file, thus, simplifying the
main part of the driver.

As some files are added to the source tree, you need to run config(8)
before you compile a new kernel next time.

You shouldn't see any functional change by this commit; this is only
internal code reorganization.
