liblua glues the lua run time into the boot loader. It implements all
the runtime routines that lua expects. In addition, it has a few
standard 'C' headers that nueter various aspects of the LUA build that
are too specific to lua to be in libsa. Many refinements from the
original code to improve implementation and the number of included lua
libraries. Use int64_t for lua_Number. Have "/boot/lua" be the default
module path. Numerous cleanups from the original GSoC project,
including hacking libsa to allow lua to be built with only one change
outside luaconf.h.
Add the final bit of lua glue to bring in liblua and plug into the
multiple interpreter framework, previously committed.
Add LOADER_LUA option, currently off by default.
Presently, this is an experimental option. One must opt-in to using
this by defining WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH. It's been
lightly tested, so keep a backup copy of your old loader handy.
The menu code, coming in the next commit, hasn't been exhaustively
tested. A LUA boot loader is 60k larger than a FORTH one, which is
80k larger than a no-interpreter one. Subtle changes in size
may tip things past some subtle limit (the binary is ~430k now
when built with LUA). A future version may offer coexistance.
Bump FreeBSD version to 1200058 to mark the milestone.

Since it's not possible to unset a variable easily, create a new
variable 'PIC' to signal that we are creating a shared object that we
want to install. defs.mk refains from defining NO_PIC and ITNERALLIB
when PIC is defined. This unbreaks userboot.so building.
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.
loader, but not compile as loader (it's building a library), so we
can't just include loader.mk for the defines. Move LOADER_DISK_SUPPORT
back to defs.mk for the moment.

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.

Building with the standard system headers isn't a perfect match to the
stand environment. Instead, copy over the files we know are safe to
use and constrain what else is used. We use -nostdinc to achieve this.
This also fixes issues with building 32-bit libraries on amd64
sometimes pulling in the wrong cpufunc.h giving an error now that we
stop on errors. It will also enable an easier transition to lua boot.

Only define the CFLAGS we need.
SSP_CFLAGS is now defined globally, no need to define it here.
Define -D_STANDALONE globally for src/stand builds.

Move kernel includes and libsa includes together at the top of defs.mk
Move all machine specific defines from Makefile.inc to their friends
in defs.mk.
Add comments and remove now useless junk after the move.
