When the FreeBSD kernel is loaded from Xen the symtab and strtab are
not loaded the same way as the native boot loader. This patch adds
three new global variables to ddb that can be used to specify the
exact position and size of those tables, so they can be directly used
as parameters to db_add_symbol_table. A new helper is introduced, so callers
that used to set ksym_start and ksym_end can use this helper to set the new
variables.
It also adds support for loading them from the Xen PVH port, that was
previously missing those tables.

ddb/db_main.c:
- Add three new global variables: ksymtab, kstrtab, ksymtab_size that
can be used to specify the position and size of the symtab and
strtab.
- Use those new variables in db_init in order to call db_add_symbol_table.
- Move the logic in db_init to db_fetch_symtab in order to set ksymtab,
kstrtab, ksymtab_size from ksym_start and ksym_end.
ddb/ddb.h:
- Add prototype for db_fetch_ksymtab.
- Declate the extern variables ksymtab, kstrtab and ksymtab_size.
x86/xen/pv.c:
- Add support for finding the symtab and strtab when booted as a Xen
PVH guest. Since Xen loads the symtab and strtab as NetBSD expects
to find them we have to adapt and use the same method.

It is implemented via db_trace_thread() for DDB and not implemented
for GDB. This should have been part of r234190.

define a set of named scripts. Each script consists of a list of DDB
commands separated by ";"s that will be executed verbatim. No higher
level language constructs, such as branching, are provided for:
scripts are executed by sequentially injecting commands into the DDB
input buffer.
Four new commands are present in DDB: "run" to run a specific script,
"script" to define or print a script, "scripts" to list currently
defined scripts, and "unscript" to delete a script, modeled on shell
alias commands. Scripts may also be manipulated using sysctls in the
debug.ddb.scripting MIB space, although users will prefer to use the
soon-to-be-added ddb(8) tool for usability reasons.
Scripts with certain names are automatically executed on various DDB
events, such as entering the debugger via a panic, a witness error,
watchdog, breakpoint, sysctl, serial break, etc, allowing customized
handling.

captured to a memory buffer for later inspection using sysctl(8), or in the
future, to a textdump.
A new DDB command, "capture", is added, which accepts arguments "on", "off",
"reset", and "status".
A new DDB sysctl tree, debug.ddb.capture, is added, which can be used to
resize the capture buffer and extract buffer contents.

Most of the changes are a direct result of adding thread awareness.
Typically, DDB_REGS is gone. All registers are taken from the
trapframe and backtraces use the PCB based contexts. DDB_REGS was
defined to be a trapframe on all platforms anyway.
Thread awareness introduces the following new commands:
thread X switch to thread X (where X is the TID),
show threads list all threads.
The backtrace code has been made more flexible so that one can
create backtraces for any thread by giving the thread ID as an
argument to trace.
With this change, ia64 has support for breakpoints.
