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.
