The values of the d_slice and d_partition fields of a disk_devdesc have a
few values with special meanings in the disk_open() routine. Through various
evolutions of the loader code over time, a d_partition value of -1 has
meant both "use the first ufs partition found in the bsd label" and "don't
open a bsd partition at all, open the raw slice."
This defines a new special value of -2 to mean open the raw slice, and it
gives symbolic names to all the special values used in d_slice and
d_partition, and adjusts all existing uses of those fields to use the new
constants.
The phab review for this timed out without being accepted, but I'm still
citing it below because there is useful commentary there.

When I added support for the standard loader(8) disk0s2a: type formats,
the parsing of legacy format was broken because it also contains a colon,
but it comes before the slice and partition. That would cause disk_parsedev()
to return success with the slice and partition set to wildcard values.
This change examines the string first, and if it contains spaces, dots, or
a colon at any position other than the end, it must be a legacy-format
string and we don't even try to use disk_parsedev() on it.

way: device<unit>[s|p]<slice><partition>. E.g., disk0s2a or disk3p12.
The code first tries to parse the variable in this format using the
standard disk_parsedev(). If that fails, it falls back to parsing the
legacy format that has been supported by ubldr for years.
In addition to 'disk', all the valid uboot device names can also be used:
mmc, sata, usb, ide, scsi. The 'disk' device serves as an alias for all
those types and will match the Nth storage-type device found (where N is
the unit number).
loaderdev variable works correctly.
The uboot_devdesc struct is variously cast back and forth between
uboot_devdesc and disk_devdesc as pointers are handed off through various
opaque interfaces. uboot_devdesc attempted to mimic the layout of
disk_devdesc by having a devdesc struct, followed by a union of some
device-specific stuff that included a struct that contains the same fields
as a disk_devdesc. However, one of those fields inside the struct is 64-bit
which causes the entire union to be 64-bit aligned -- 32 bits of padding
is added between the struct devdesc and the union, so the whole mess ends
up NOT properly mimicking a disk_devdesc after all. (In disk_devdesc there
is also 32 bits of padding, but it shows up immediately before the d_offset
field, rather than before the whole collection of d_* fields.)
This fixes the problem by using an anonymous union to overlay the devdesc
field uboot network devices need with the disk_devdesc that uboot storage
devices need. This is a different solution than the one contributed with
the PR (so if anything goes wrong, the blame goes to me), but 95% of the
credit for this fix goes to Pawel Worach and Manuel Stuhn who analyzed the
problem and proposed a fix.

1MB was leaving very little margin in some of the worse-case scenarios with
lualoader. 2MB is still low enough that we shouldn't have any problems with
UBoot-supported boards.

lualoader in itself only uses another ~200K, but there seems to be no reason
not to bump it a little higher to give us some more wiggle room.
With this, I can boot using a menu-enabled lualoader, no problem and
reasonably fast. Some heap usage datapoints from the review:
forthloader, no menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x1203d5b0, top at 0x1208e000, used 330320
lualoader, no menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x42050028, top at 0x420ab000, used 372696
lualoader, menus, kernel loaded:
heap base at 0x42050028, top at 0x420d5000, used 544728
Since then, the no menu case for lualoader should have decreased slightly as
I've made some changes to make sure that it no longer loads any of th emenu
bits with beastie disabled.
While here, split heap size out into a HEAP_SIZE macro.

The current system is fragile and requires very careful layout of all
*_devdesc structures. It also makes it hard to change the base
devdesc. Take a page from CAM and put the 'header' in all the derived
classes and adjust the code to match.
For OFW, move the iHandle h_handle out of a slot conflicting with
d_opendata. Due to quirks in the alignment rules, this worked.
However changing the code to use d_opendata storage now that it's a
pointer is hard, so just have a separate field for it.
All other cleanups were to make the *_devdesc structures match where
they'd taken some liberties that were none-the-less compatible enough
to work.
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.

removing this argument, and expanding when rc is NULL. This
effectively completes the back out of custom scripts for tftp booted
loaders from r269153 that was started in r292344 with the new path
tricks that obsoleted it.
