There is still one TODO item for these calls: add file descriptor
passing. The data structures are already prepared for this. It's just
the translation that's missing.

Blocking on locks and condition variables can be accomplished by polling
and using the special filters CONDVAR, LOCK_RDLOCK and LOCK_WRLOCK.
For now it wouldn't make sense to implement this functionality into
kqueue() itself, for the reason that they are CloudABI specific and
would require us to resize 'struct kevent' to hold all of the parameters
of interest.
Add a bandaid to the CloudABI poll system call to call into the futex
code directly if it detects specific combinations of events that are
used by the C library.

This change implements two functions, cloudabi64_kevent_copyin() and
cloudabi64_kevent_copyout(), that convert CloudABI structures to
FreeBSD's struct kevent. CloudABI uses two structures: subscription_t
and event_t. The former is used for input, whereas the latter is used
for output. Unlike struct kevent, fields aren't overloaded for multiple
purposes or for separate event types.
For poll() we call into the newly introduced kern_kevent_anonymous()
function that allows us to poll without a file descriptor. This function
is not only used by poll(), but also by functions such as
sleep() and clock_nanosleep().

Futex object scopes have been renamed from using their own constants to
simply reusing the existing CLOUDABI_MAP_{PRIVATE,SHARED} flags, as they
are more accurate in this context.
Summary:
Remove the stub system call that was put in place during the system call
import and replace it by a target-dependent version stored in sys/amd64.
Initialize the thread in a way similar to cpu_set_upcall_kse(). We
provide the entry point with two arguments: the thread ID and the
argument pointer.
Test Plan:
Thread creation still seems to work, both for FreeBSD and CloudABI
binaries.

The first system call is used to set the user TLS address. Right now
this system call is invoked by the C library for both the initial thread
and additional threads unconditionally, but in the future we'll only
call this if the architecture does not support this. On recent x86-64
CPUs we could use the WRFSBASE instruction.
This system call was erroneously placed in sys/compat/cloudabi64, even
though it does not depend on any pointer size dependent datastructure.
Move it to the right place.

Add a routine similar to copyinuio() and freebsd32_copyinuio() that
copies in CloudABI's struct iovecs. These are then translated into
FreeBSD format and placed in a 'struct uio', so we can call into the
kern_*() functions.

CloudABI is a pure capability-based runtime environment for UNIX. It
works similar to Capsicum, except that processes already run in
capabilities mode on startup. All functionality that conflicts with this
model has been omitted, making it a compact binary interface that can be
supported by other operating systems without too much effort.
CloudABI is 'secure by default'; the idea is that it should be safe to
run arbitrary third-party binaries without requiring any explicit
hardware virtualization (Bhyve) or namespace virtualization (Jails). The
rights of an application are purely determined by the set of file
descriptors that you grant it on startup.
The datatypes and constants used by CloudABI's C library (cloudlibc) are
defined in separate files called syscalldefs_mi.h (pointer size
independent) and syscalldefs_md.h (pointer size dependent). We import
these files in sys/contrib/cloudabi and wrap around them in
cloudabi*_syscalldefs.h.
We then add stubs for all of the system calls in sys/compat/cloudabi or
sys/compat/cloudabi64, depending on whether the system call depends on
the pointer size. We only have nine system calls that depend on the
pointer size. If we ever want to support 32-bit binaries, we can simply
add sys/compat/cloudabi32 and implement these nine system calls again.
The next step is to send in code reviews for the individual system call
implementations, but also add a sysentvec, to allow CloudABI executabled
to be started through execve().
