A new option 'VMFSLIST' controls the list of filesystems for which VM
images will be built; the default is to build both UFS and ZFS.
The vm-install target installs these as ${OSRELEASE}-${FS}.${FORMAT},
e.g. FreeBSD-14.0-CURRENT-amd64-zfs.vmdk. For backwards compatibility,
the ${VMFS} image is linked to the previously used ${OSRELEASE}.${FORMAT}
name.
Cloudware building will be updated in a later commit.

All of these are obsoleted by the general removal of MIPS support.
Actually, corresponding to the removed AH_SUPPORT_x, there is more
superfluous support sprinkled across the HAL source. However, that
code is left in place for now in order to ease a sync to NetBSD.

Following the removal of general MIPS support, there's no longer a need
to have the AHB bus-frontend in place, which according to Linux sources
also isn't used with any non-MIPS SoCs. For simplicity, PCI bus support
is only made conditional on the main one again, i. e. device ath_pci is
removed, and built into the main module, i. e. if_ath_pci.ko obsoleted,
respectively.
Effectively, this reverts the following commits and associated changes:

This page has existed as a placeholder since its creation in 1995. It
does not provide a useful introduction to the content in this section.
Reimagine it as a top-level overview page containing brief descriptions
and links to existing pages in section 9. It is roughly organized into
sub-sections, grouped by topic or subsystem. In other words, the page is
meant to function as a map to other content.
There is a balance to be found here between providing as many links as
possible and keeping the page concise and searchable. In general the aim
is to reference pages which provide the best entry point to a particular
topic. For example, a link is given to locking(9), but not to the
specific lock pages such as mutex(9) or rwlock(9).
NetBSD has done something similar with their intro(9), so some
inspiration has been taken from there, although their content doesn't
align that closely with what we have.
I have done a thorough review of our existing pages and formed these
subsections around them, but they are meant to evolve.

Toolchain components were historically statically linked. They became
normal dynamically linked executables in commit 6ab18ea64d. There is
no need to keep a special case build option for the toolchain; users who
want statically linked toolchain (or any other) components can use the
existing NO_SHARED knob.

The removal of the sparc64 support in February 2020 obsoleted the
VTOC8 partitioning scheme as no other FreeBSD platform makes use
of it. Moreover, the code is bitrotting as nothing defines e. g.
LOADER_VTOC8_SUPPORT any more and, thus, should go now, too. With
this change, the following commits are reverted as far as VTOC8
is concerned and parts haven't already previously been deleted
along with prior sparc64 removals:
094fcb157da7d366e958ba8d50d08b
The alignment example d9711c28ef
added to the VTOC8 section of gpart.8 is folded into the MBR one.
This should finally conclude the deorbit of sparc64-specific bits.

- Add new DB_DEFINE_TABLE and DB_DECLARE_TABLE macros to define new
command tables. DB_DECLARE_TABLE is intended for use in headers
similar to MALLOC_DECLARE and SYSCTL_DECL.
DB_DEFINE_TABLE takes three arguments, the name of the parent table,
the command name, and the name of the table itself, e.g.
DB_DEFINE_TABLE(show, foo, show_foo) defines a new "show foo" table.
- DB_TABLE_COMMAND, DB_TABLE_COMMAND_FLAGS, DB_TABLE_ALIAS, and
DB_ALIAS_FLAGS allow new commands and aliases to be defined. These
are similar to the existing DB_COMMAND, etc. except that they take
an initial argument giving the name of the parent table, e.g.:
DB_TABLE_COMMAND(show_foo, bar, db_show_foo_bar)
defines a new "show foo bar" command.
This provides a cleaner interface than the ad-hoc use of internal
macros like _DB_SET that was required previously (e.g. in cxgbe(4)).
This retires DB_FUNC macro as well as the internal _DB_FUNC macro.
