NANDFS has been broken for years. Remove it. The NAND drivers that
remain are for ancient parts that are no longer relevant. They are
polled, have terrible performance and just for ancient arm
hardware. NAND parts have evolved significantly from this early work
and little to none of it would be relevant should someone need to
update to support raw nand. This code has been off by default for
years and has violated the vnode protocol leading to panics since it
was committed.

Add map-vdisk and unmap-vdisk commands to create virtual disk interface on top of file. This will allow to use disk image from file system to load and start the kernel.
By mapping file, we create vdiskX device, the device will be listed by lsdev [-v] and can be accessed directly as ls vdisk0p1:/path or can be used as value for currdev variable.
vdisk strategy function does not use bcache as we have bcache used with backing file. vdisk can be unmapped when all consumers have closed the open files.
In first iteration we do not support the zfs images because zfs pools do keep the device open (there is no "zpool export" mechanism). Adding zfs support is relatively simple, we just need to run zfs disk probe after mapping is done.

Create unified block IO implementation in BIOS version, like it is done in UEFI
side. Implement fd, disk and cd device lists, this will split floppy devices
from disks and will allow us to have consistent, predictable device naming
(modulo BIOS issues).

While ../zfs/libzfs.h mostly works, there are a few situations where
it does not. Eliminate the problem by using plain libzfs.h, like we do
for ufs support. This fixes the weird cases, and is easier to
understand. It also follows the general style convetion of avoiding
../ in #includes.
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.
