ioctl(2) handling. This allows doing the pps_event() work in the polling
routine, instead of using a taskqueue task to do that work.
Also, add PNPINFO, and switch to using make_dev_s() to create the cdev.
Using a spin mutex and calling pps_event() from the polling function works
around the situation which requires more than 2 sets of timecounter
timehands in a single-core system to get reliable PPS capture. That problem
would happen when a single-core system is idle in cpu_idle() then gets woken
up with an event timer event which was scheduled to handle a hardclock tick.
That processing path would end up calling tc_windup 3 or 4 times between
when the tc polling function was called and when the taskqueue task would
eventually run, and with only two sets of timehands, the th_generation count
would always be too old to allow the captured PPS data to be used.
The box drawing characters we use aren't necessarily safe with a serial
console; for instance, in the report by npn@, these were causing his xterm
to send back a sequence that lua picked up as input and halted the boot.
This is less than ideal.
Fallback to ASCII frames for console with 'comconsole' in it. This is a
partial revert r338108 by imp@ -- instead of removing the menu entirely and
disabling color/cursor sequences, just reverting the default frame to ASCII
is enough to not break in this setup.

Due to lock ordering issues (bucket lock held, vnode locks wanted) the code
starts with trylocking which in face of contention often fails. Prior to
the change it would loop back with a possible yield.
Instead note we know what locks are needed and can take them in the right
order, avoiding retries. Then we can safely re-lookup and see if the entry
we are looking for is still there.
On a 104-way box poudriere would result in constant retries during an 11h
run as seen in the vfs.cache.zap_and_exit_bucket_fail counter.

However, a new stat reports:
vfs.cache.zap_and_exit_bucket_relock_success: 32638
Note this is only a bandaid over current design issues.

It used to be mp_ncpus * 64, but this gives unnecessarily big values for small
machines and at the same time constraints bigger ones. In particular this helps
on a 104-way box for which the count is now doubled.
While here make cache_purgevfs less likely. Currently it is not efficient in
face of contention due to lock ordering issues. These are fixable but not worth
it at the moment.

- vm_page_grab_valid() will grab and page in if necessary.
- vm_page_busy_acquire() automates some busy acquire loops.

races with page busy state. The object lock is still used as an interlock
to ensure that the identity stays valid. Most callers should use
vm_page_sleep_if_busy() to handle the locking particulars.

All of these are defined as mandatory by POSIX.
While here, mark all non-standard ones as FreeBSD-only as
other systems (at least, GNU/Linux and illumos) do not handle
them, so we should not encourage their use.

Compared to current version in base:
- great improvements on the Unicode support
- full support for filename completion including quoting
which means we do not need anymore our custom addition)
- Improved readline compatiblity
Upgrading libedit has been a pain in the past, because somehow we never
managed to properly cleanup the tree in lib/libedit and each merge has always
been very painful. After years of fighting give up and refresh a merge from
scrarch properly in contrib.
Note that the switch to this version will be done in another commit.
