Address two issues with current help file logic:
The existing condition prevents the common help file from being
installed when there are no additional help files defined. This results
in no loader.help on EFI platforms, for example.
Second, due to the fact that we build and install multiple loader types,
each successive install will clobber the previous loader.help. The
result is that we could lose type-specific commands, or possibly list
them in loaders that do not have such commands.
Instead, give each loader type a uniquely named help file. The EFI
loader will look for /boot/loader.help.efi, userboot will look for
/boot/loader.help.userboot, etc. The interpreter variant has no effect
on which help file is loaded.
This leaves the old /boot/loader.help unused.
Some credit for the final approach goes to Mathieu <sigsys@gmail.com>
for their version of the fix in https://reviews.freebsd.org/D22951.

All these files are the same, modulo one comment. Move them all into
common/gfx_fb_stub.c and adjust Makefiles accordingly.

Fix boot1 and loader on PowerPC64 little-endian (LE).
Due to endian issues, boot1 couldn't find the UFS boot partition
and loader wasn't able to load the kernel. Most of the issues
happened because boot1 and loader were BE binaries trying to access
LE UFS partitions and because loader expects the kernel ELF image
to use the same endian as itself.
To fix these issues, boot1 and loader are now built as LE binaries
on PPC64LE. To support this, the functions that call OpenFirmware
were enhanced to correctly perform endian conversion on its input
and output arguments and to change the CPU into BE mode before
making the calls, as OpenFirmware always runs in BE. Besides that,
some other small fixes were needed.

Bootloaders for powerpc are not built as position independent
code. Since bsd.prog.mk is used for building, when PIE is enabled,
the PIE flags are added and that causes the build to fail.
Adding MK_PIE=no stops bsd.prog.mk from adding PIE specific flags.

Since rS330365, there has been no particular reason for libofw to be in a
subdirectory of ofw. Move libofw up a level to make it fit in better with
the other top level libraries.
Also add a LIBOFWSRC to stand/defs.mk to match what all the other
libraries are doing.

Guest PPC OSs running under a hypervisor may communicate the features they
support, in order for the hypervisor to expose a virtualized machine in the way
the client (guest OS) expects (see LoPAPR 1.1 - B.6.2.3).
This is done by calling the "/ibm,client-architecture-support" (CAS) method,
informing supported features in option vectors. Until now, FreeBSD wasn't
using CAS, but instead relied on hypervisor/QEMU's defaults.
The problem is that, without CAS, it is very inconvenient to run POWER9 VMs on
a POWER9 host running with radix enabled. This happens because, in this case,
the QEMU default is to present the guest OS a dual MMU (HPT/RPT), instead of
presenting a regular HPT MMU, as FreeBSD expects, resulting in an early panic.
The known workarounds required either changing the host to disable radix or
passing a flag to QEMU to run in a POWER8 compatible mode.
With CAS, FreeBSD is now able to communicate that it wants an HPT MMU,
independent of the host setup, which now makes FreeBSD work on POWER9/pseries,
with KVM enabled and without hugepages (support added in a previous commit).
As CAS is invoked through OpenFirmware's call-method interface, it needs to be
performed early, when OpenFirmware is still operational. Besides, now that FDT
is the default way to inspect the device tree on PPC, OFW call-method feature
will be unavailable by default, when control is passed to the kernel. Because
of this, the call to CAS is being performed at the loader, instead of at the
kernel.
To avoid regressions with old platforms, this change uses CAS only on
POWER8/POWER9.

the powerpc/ subdirectory. These have never used by SPARC and we have
no other (and almost certainly will have no other) Open Firmware platforms.
This makes the directory structure simpler and lets us avoid some
cargo-cult MI patterns on code that is, and always was,
architecture-specific.
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.

simd / no float stuff is centeralized here. Also centralise
-ffreestanding since it is specified everywhere.
This, along with a change to share/mk/bsd.cpu.mk to include -mno-avx2
in CFLAGS_NO_SIMD should fix building for newer machines (eg with
CPUTYPE=haswell) where clang was generating avx2 instructions.
