zfsloader as a hard link. While newer ones do, the whole point of the
link was to transition to the new world order smoothly. A hard link is
less flexible, but it works and will result in fewer bumps. Adjust
UPDATING entry to match.
We no longer really need a separate zfsloader. It was useful when we
were first supporting ZFS and had limited ability to properly boot off
of ZFS without the special boot loader. Now that the boot loader has
matured, go the way loader.efi pioneered and just build one
binary. Change the name of the loader to load in the secondary boot
blocks to be just /boot/loader. Provide a symbolic link from zfsloader
to loader so people who have not upgraded their boot blocks are not
affected. This has the happy benefit of making coexistence easier as
well (fewer binaries in the matrix).

Move the libzfs stuff into libsa. There's no need for it to be a
separate library. The separate library adds to the issues of build
ordering that we see from time to time. Move the filesystem support
into libsa, like all the other filesystem support rather than making
zfs the odd-duck out.

There's no reason to have multiple copies of lszfs and
reloadbe. Consolidate them into one location. Also ldi_get_size is the
same everywhere (except sparc64). Make it the same everywhere as the
common definition is more general and will work on spar64.
Summary:
All metadata.c files are very similar, with only trivial changes. Unify them
into a single common file, with minor special-casing where needed.

preference to LIBFICL{,32}. LIBFICL{,32} are now always defined, but
LDR_INTERP{,32} is defined empty when building w/o forth (aka the
simple interpreter) and defined to LIBFICL{,32} when we are building
forth.
MK_CTF, MK_SSP, MK_PROFILE, NO_PIC, and INTERNALLIB are always the
same, so set them in defs.mk. MAN= is common, so set it here too.
This removes a lot of boring repetition from the Makefiles that added
almost no value.
HELP_FILES is a loader only thing, so move it to loader.mk. Only
generate the help file if HELP_FILES is defined. Adjust Makefiles to
new convention. Fix a few cases where ${.CURDIR}/ was missing
resulting in missing bits from the help files.
