This makes makesyscalls.lua more parallel-friendly, or at least not as
hostile to the idea. We get into situations where we're running parallel if
we end up with MAKE_JOBS>1 entering any of the sysent targets, since each
output file is recognized a distinct build step that needs to be executed.
Another commit will add some .ORDER to further improve the situation.

These are insignificant as far as declarations go, and we've historically
allowed it. fhlinkat in ^/sys/kern/syscalls.master, for example, currently
has a trailing comma after its final argument that this version of
makesyscalls is ignoring (not by conscious decision).
Fix it for now by actively stripping off trailing whitespace/commas until
we decide to actively prohibit it.
The current version will strip out #include directives appearing inside strings, which is clearly wrong. Improve the processing entirely in the following ways:
- Strip only whole-line comments on every single iteration
- Abort if we see a malformed line that doesn't match the key=value format
- For quoted (backtick or double quote) strings, we'll advance to the end of
the key=value pair and make sure there's not extra stuff left over
- For unquoted key=value pairs, we'll strip any trailing comments and verify
there's no internal whitespace
This has revealed the caveat that key/value pairs can't even include escaped quotes (and haven't been able to). I don't know if this is actually problematic, as we're usually looking at cases like "#include <foo>" or raw identifiers.The current version will strip out #include directives appearing inside strings, which is clearly wrong.

This currently requires a suitable lua + luafilesystem + luaposix from the
ports tree to build. Discussion is underway in D21893 to add a suitable lua
to the base system, cleverly disguised and out of the way of normal
consumers.
makesyscalls.sh is a good target for rewrite into lua as it's currently a
sh+sed+awk script that can be difficult to add on to, at times. For
instance, adding a new COMPAT* option (that mimicks the behaivor of most
other COMPAT* options) requires a fairly substantial amount of copy/paste;
see r352693 for instance. Attempts to generate part of the awk script for
COMPAT* handling was (very kindly) rejected with a desire to just rewrite
the script in a single language that can handle all of it.
