Add the ability for a device to have an "alias" handle.

Fix network device registration.
r247380:
Adjust our load device when we boot from CD under UEFI.
The process for booting from a CD under UEFI involves adding a FAT
filesystem containing your loader code as an El Torito boot image.
When UEFI detects this, it provides a block IO instance that points
at the FAT filesystem as a child of the device that represents the CD
itself. The problem being that the CD device is flagged as a "raw
device" while the boot image is flagged as a "logical partition".
The existing EFI partition code only looks for logical partitions and
so the CD filesystem was rendered invisible.
To fix this, check the type of each block IO device. If it's found to
be a CD, and thus an El Torito boot image, look up its parent device
and add that instead so that the loader will then load the kernel from
the CD filesystem. This is done by using the handle for the boot
filesystem as an alias.
Something similar to this will be required for booting from other media
as well as the loader will live in the EFI system partition, not on the
partition containing the kernel.
r247381:
Remove a scatalogical debug printf that crept in.
as this only allows us to access file systems that EFI knows about.
With a loader that can only use EFI-supported file systems, we're
forced to put /boot on the EFI system partition. This is suboptimal
in the following ways:
1. With /boot a symlink to /efi/boot, mergemaster complains about
the mismatch and there's no quick solution.
2. The EFI loader can only boot a single version of FreeBSD. There's
no way to install multiple versions of FreeBSD and select one
at the loader prompt.
3. ZFS maintains /boot/zfs/zpool.cache and with /boot a symlink we
end up with the file on a MSDOS file system. ZFS does not have
proper handling of file systems that are under Giant.
Implement a disk device based on the block I/O protocol instead and
pull in file system code from libstand. The disk devices are really
the partitions that EFI knows about.
This change is backward compatible.

1. Make libefi portable by removing ia64 specific code and build
it on i386 and amd64 by default to prevent regressions. These
changes include fixes and improvements over previous code to
establish or improve APIs where none existed or when the amount
of kluging was unacceptably high.
2. Increase the amount of sharing between the efi and ski loaders
to improve maintainability of the loaders and simplify making
changes to the loader-kernel handshaking in the future.
The version of the efi and ski loaders are now both changed to 1.2
as user visible improvements and changes have been made.

This moves the dependency on GCC's and other compiler's features into
the central sys/cdefs.h file, while the individual source files can
then refer to #ifdef __COMPILER_FEATURE_FOO where they by now used to
refer to #if __GNUC__ > 3.1415 && __BARC__ <= 42.
By now, GCC and ICC (the Intel compiler) have been actively tested on
IA32 platforms by netchild. Extension to other compilers is supposed
to be possible, of course.

NULL is passed. The address of the HCDP table can be found by
iterating over the configuration tables in the EFI system table.
To avoid more duplication, a function can be called with the GUID
of interest. The function will do the scanning. Use the function
in all places where we iterate over the configuration tables in
an attempt to find a specific one.
Bump the loader version number as the result of this.

accept load options (=command line options).
The call graph changes from *entry*->efi_main->efi_init, where
efi_main is the EFI equivalent of main to *entry*->efi_main->main,
where main is what you'd expect. efi_main now is what efi_init was.
The prototype of main follows that of C. The first argument is argc
and the second is argv. There is no third argument.
Allocation of heap pages is now handled by the EFI library and it
now deallocates the pages when main() returns or when exit() is
called. This allows us to safely return to the boot manager (or
EFI shell) without leaks. EFI applications are responsible to free
all memory themselves.
Handling of the load options is a bit tricky. There are either no
load options, load options in ASCII or load options in Unicode.
The EFI library will translate the ASCII options to Unicode options
as to simplify user code. Since the load options are passed as a
single string (if present) and main() accepts argc and argv, the
startup code also has to split the string into words and build the
argv vector. Here the trickiness starts. When the loader is started
from the EFI shell, argv[0] will automaticly load the program name.
In all other cases (ie through the boot manager), this is not the
case. Unfortunately, there's no trivial way to check. Hence, a
set of conditions is checked to determine if we need to fill in
argv[0] ourselves or not. This checking is not perfect. There are
known cases where it fails to do the right thing. The logic works
for most expected cases, though. This includes the case where no
options are given.

o Remove previously symbolicly linked <inttypes.h>, instead create a

o Add MD headers <machine/_inttypes.h> from NetBSD.
o Include <sys/stdint.h> in <inttypes.h>, as required by C99; and
include <machine/_inttypes.h> in <inttypes.h>, to fill in the
remaining requirements for <inttypes.h>.
o Add additional integer types in <machine/ansi.h> and
