Replace 4 identical copies of *_setcurrdev with gen_setcurrdev to avoid
having to create a 5th copy. uboot_setcurrdev is actually different and
needs to remain separate (even though it's quite similar).

Fix boot1 and loader on PowerPC64 little-endian (LE).
Due to endian issues, boot1 couldn't find the UFS boot partition
and loader wasn't able to load the kernel. Most of the issues
happened because boot1 and loader were BE binaries trying to access
LE UFS partitions and because loader expects the kernel ELF image
to use the same endian as itself.
To fix these issues, boot1 and loader are now built as LE binaries
on PPC64LE. To support this, the functions that call OpenFirmware
were enhanced to correctly perform endian conversion on its input
and output arguments and to change the CPU into BE mode before
making the calls, as OpenFirmware always runs in BE. Besides that,
some other small fixes were needed.

After b4cb3fe0e3, loader started crashing on PowerPC64, with a
Program Exception (700) error. The problem was that archsw was
used before being initialized, with the new mount feature. This
change fixes the issue by initializing archsw earlier, before
setting currdev, that triggers the mount.

Currently, the only thing that prevents a functioning 64-bit FICL build is
a few integer types that were intended to be fixed-width.
Changing them to C99 integer types allows building a functioning 64-bit
FICL.
While this isn't applicable to the default settings of any in-tree loaders,
it is necessary for a future Petitboot loader, due to the requirement that
it be compiled as a 64-bit program.

Guest PPC OSs running under a hypervisor may communicate the features they
support, in order for the hypervisor to expose a virtualized machine in the way
the client (guest OS) expects (see LoPAPR 1.1 - B.6.2.3).
This is done by calling the "/ibm,client-architecture-support" (CAS) method,
informing supported features in option vectors. Until now, FreeBSD wasn't
using CAS, but instead relied on hypervisor/QEMU's defaults.
The problem is that, without CAS, it is very inconvenient to run POWER9 VMs on
a POWER9 host running with radix enabled. This happens because, in this case,
the QEMU default is to present the guest OS a dual MMU (HPT/RPT), instead of
presenting a regular HPT MMU, as FreeBSD expects, resulting in an early panic.
The known workarounds required either changing the host to disable radix or
passing a flag to QEMU to run in a POWER8 compatible mode.
With CAS, FreeBSD is now able to communicate that it wants an HPT MMU,
independent of the host setup, which now makes FreeBSD work on POWER9/pseries,
with KVM enabled and without hugepages (support added in a previous commit).
As CAS is invoked through OpenFirmware's call-method interface, it needs to be
performed early, when OpenFirmware is still operational. Besides, now that FDT
is the default way to inspect the device tree on PPC, OFW call-method feature
will be unavailable by default, when control is passed to the kernel. Because
of this, the call to CAS is being performed at the loader, instead of at the
kernel.
To avoid regressions with old platforms, this change uses CAS only on
POWER8/POWER9.

This feature is meant to be expanded until it is on by default
