When WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=yes is set in src.conf(5), eliminate the
time, user, and host from the loader's version information. This allows
builds to produce bit-for-bit identical output.

The kernel builds reproducibly, except for the time, date, user, and
hostname baked into the kernel (reported at startup and via the
kern.version sysctl for uname). Add a build knob to disable the
inclusion of this metadata.

If set it installs LLD as /usr/bin/ld. LLD (as of version 3.9) is not
capable of linking the world and kernel, but can self-host and link many
substantial applications. GNU ld continues to be used for the world and
kernel build, regardless of how this knob is set.
It is on by default for arm64, and off for all other CPU architectures.

Hide dialog specific code behind HAVE_DIALOG. It allows to build a stripped

world is built WITHOUT_DIALOG
Reorganise a bit the code to limit the number of blocks under HAVE_DIALOG

This is added to facilitate experiments building FreeBSD without
copyleft software.
If WITHOUT_GNU_DIFF is set no /usr/bin/diff or /usr/bin/diff3 will
be built.
If WITHOUT_GNU_GREP is set then BSD grep will be installed as
/usr/bin/bsdgrep or /usr/bin/grep, depending on the WITH_BSD_GREP
knob.

All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.

In FreeBSD 11 ELF Tool Chain's elfcopy is installed as objcopy by
default, with the option to switch back to GNU objcopy by setting
WITHOUT_ELFCOPY_AS_OBJCOPY in make.conf.
We plan to remove the outdated in-tree binutils in FreeBSD 12, so
remove the temporary transition aid.
