Also, dmabuf appears to only be set for sparc64 case, but there was a
comment at its only use that says it was broken for some apple
adapters. #ifdef it all of that out now that nothing sets it.
The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

Since rS330365, there has been no particular reason for libofw to be in a
subdirectory of ofw. Move libofw up a level to make it fit in better with
the other top level libraries.
Also add a LIBOFWSRC to stand/defs.mk to match what all the other
libraries are doing.
