supposedly having too many segments, when lld 11 links it. Such kernels
should load just fine.
Note that we may still do some tweaking of our kernel linker scripts, to
lower the number of segments, although the exact benefit is not entirely
clear.
Address style issues including some previously raised in D13923.
- Use designated initializers for structs
- Always use bracketed return style
- No initialization in declarations
- Align function prototype names
- Remove old commented code/unused includes

Attempting to retrieve an md_cval string from a kernel module with
kldxref would throw a offset error for modules created using lld, since
this value would be placed at the end of all allocated sections.
Add an ef_read_seg_string method to the ef interface, to allow reading
strings of varying size without attempting to read beyond the segment's
bounds.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

ld.bfd generates two PT_LOAD segments, but certain linkers or linker
configurations generate three PT_LOAD segments (one additional for
RELRO).

Omit "too many sections" warnings if the ELF file is not dynamically
linked (and is therefore skipped anyway), and otherwise output it only
once. An errant core file would previously cause kldxref to output a
number of warnings.
Also introduce a MAXSEGS #define and replace literal 2 with it, to make
comparisons clear.

o Redefine Elf64_Word to be 32-bit,
