This was committed due to what was later diagnosed as an msdosfs bug
preventing in-place strip. This bug was fixed in r352564, and we agreed to
keep the workaround in for a bit to allow the driver fix a suitable amount
of propagation time for folks building/installing powerpc/ubldr, seeing as
how we were not in any hurry to revert.
Summary:
Install's strip capability, by way of strip(1), doesn't seem to work
correctly on msdosfs, and instead ends up truncating the resulting
binary to 0-length. As a workaround, don't strip ubldr(8). This
fixes installworld on Book-E ubldr-based platforms, which prior to this
would need to manually install ubldr separately after installworld, in
order to have a functional ubldr.
The same thing could be done on PowerNV platforms that use msdosfs /boot
volumes, since loader and loader.kboot, etc, all get truncated to 0 on
install. However, PowerNV does not use loader, instead loading from
petitboot, so it's not really necessary at this time.

Summary:
Now that mpc85xx can boot via ubldr, move ubldr to a separate
filesystem, mounted on /boot/uboot, so that a fresh install can boot correctly.

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.
