This uses the common U-Boot support lib (sys/boot/uboot, already used on
FreeBSD/powerpc), and assumes the underlying firmware has the modern API for
stand-alone apps enabled in the config (CONFIG_API).
Only netbooting is supported at the moment.

The relevant changes for FreeBSD (excerpt from the release note):
* Newly implemented CORE EXT words: CASE, OF, ENDOF, and ENDCASE. Also
added FALLTHROUGH, which works like ENDOF but jumps to the instruction
just after the next OF.
* Bugfix: John-Hopkins locals syntax now accepts | and -- in the comment
(between the first -- and the }.)
* Bugfix: Changed vmGetWord0() to make Purify happier. The resulting
code is no slower, no larger, and slightly more robust.
The whole problem seems to be size. Which is odd, because it is said
that size doesn't matter. Anyway... Add -Os to strategic places in the
makefile to have the final loader be as mall as possible. This seems
to be enough to make it work. For now... I think something is more
fundamentally wrong; or something more fundamental is wrong. Potato,
potaato.
very pervasive in this code. This fixes a few of those assumptions and
band-aids over some others.

- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

they can be used with cell operators like !.
As I did this, I noticed the whole CELL thing might have problems with
big endian architectures with sizeof(int)!=sizeof(void*).
This version has a step debugger, which now completely replaces the
old trace feature. Also, we moved all of the FreeBSD-specific MI
code to loader.c, reducing the diff between this and the official
FICL distribution.
Also, export the file_findfile() function. Again, this is taken from
work in progress but frozen for the time being. Since it works, I'd
rather commit and remove any uglyness later than hide it on my tree.
