ELF toolchain readelf lacked some functionality at the time other tools
(like size, strip, nm, etc.) were switched over to the ELF toolchain
versions. That has been addressed as of the last update, so we can add
it to the list.

- Compatiblity with existing manpages has been improved
- Now support ".so" directive with compressed manpages (which fixes a regression
we have since we have new man(1))
Set WITH_ELFTOOLCHAIN_TOOLS in src.conf to use the elftoolchain version
of the following tools:
* addr2line
* elfcopy (strip / mcs)
* nm
* size
* strings

mandoc(1) does not provide an equivalent of the GNU groff's soelim(1) as an
external binary. It does provide the funcitonnality but internally.
Lots if manpages in ports uses ".so" directives to include the content of
another manpage, which works properly if the manpages are not compressed.
With compressed manpages it will fail. So we need to preprocess those manpages
with soelim(1) before compressing them.
soeliminate(1) add the minimum functionnality from soelim(1) required for that
task, in order to still be able to prepare properly those manpages in case we
ship the base system only with mandoc as a manpage renderer.
soeliminate(1) accept all the arguments from soelim(1) for compatibility but
only '-I dir' is really functionnal.
Name it soeliminate and not soelim, so groff from base or ports can still call
soelim(1) for its internal use and avoid potential incompatibilities

vtfontcvt is useful for end users to convert arbitrary bitmap fonts
for use by vt(4). It can also be used as a build tool, allowing us
to keep the source font data in the src tree rather than uuencoded

In r266650, we made libatf-c and libatf-c++ private libraries so that no
components outside of the source tree could unintendedly depend on them.
This change does the same for the "atf-sh library" by moving the atf-sh
interpreter from its public location in /usr/bin/ to the private location
in /usr/libexec/. Our build system will ensure that our own test programs
use the right binary, but users won't be able to depend on atf-sh by
"mistake".

option to a selected number of Makefiles, which can greatly speed up the
build on multi-core machines, when using make -j.
This can be extended to more Makefiles later on, whenever they are
verified to work correctly with parallel building.

E.g. the build was approximately 45% faster in real time. On machines

There is no reason to keep the two knobs separate: if tests are
enabled, the ATF libraries are required; and if tests are disabled,
the ATF libraries are not necessary. Keeping the two just serves
to complicate the build.

- Add a new protect(1) command that can be used to set or revoke protection
from arbitrary processes. Similar to ktrace it can apply a change to all
existing descendants of a process as well as future descendants.
- Add a new procctl(2) system call that provides a generic interface for
control operations on processes (as opposed to the debugger-specific
operations provided by ptrace(2)). procctl(2) uses a combination of
idtype_t and an id to identify the set of processes on which to operate
similar to wait6().
- Add a PROC_SPROTECT control operation to manage the protection status
of a set of processes. MADV_PROTECT still works for backwards
compatability.
- Add a p_flag2 to struct proc (and a corresponding ki_flag2 to kinfo_proc)
the first bit of which is used to track if P_PROTECT should be inherited
by new child processes.

This is actually a fully functional build except:
* All internal shared libraries are static linked to make sure there
is no interference with ports (and to reduce build time).
* It does not have the python/perl/etc plugin or API support.
* By default, it installs as "svnlite" rather than "svn".
* If WITH_SVN added in make.conf, you get "svn".
* If WITHOUT_SVNLITE is in make.conf, this is completely disabled.
To be absolutely clear, this is not intended for any use other than
checking out freebsd source and committing, like we once did with cvs.
It should be usable for small scale local repositories that don't
need the python/perl plugin architecture.
