Make sys/buf.h, sys/pipe.h, sys/fs/devfs/devfs*.h headers usable in
userspace, assuming that the consumer has an idea what it is for.
Unhide more material from sys/mount.h and sys/ufs/ufs/inode.h,
sys/ufs/ufs/ufsmount.h for consumption of userspace tools, with the
same caveat.
Remove unacceptable hack from usr.sbin/makefs which relied on sys/buf.h
being unusable in userspace, where it override struct buf with its own
definition. Instead, provide struct m_buf and struct m_vnode and adapt
code to use local variants.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
for the sorts of errors we run into[1]. This also gives us room to put in a
vaguely appropriate casts to silence warnings since our compiler doesn't like
when we compare ssize_t to size_t[2]. Add a cast in sblock.c[3] to silence
a warning because of signed vs. size_t hell (again). Clean up nearby
excessive parenthemutilation[4].

An aside about [4], bde notes that we do not check for a negative value for
the fs bsize. I'm nto going to do that in every situation we use it, one must
expect a reasonable program to pass down reasonable values. Some foot shooting
protection I will tolerate, some I will not. Also he suggests some possible
conditional improvements there, which I may take to heart.
PS: For me at least, this is now WARNS=5 clean...
the build. It is here to compartmentalise functionality currently duplicated
in many notable programs in the base system. It currently handles block
reads and writes, as well as reading and writing of the filesystem superblock,
and the reading/lookup of inode data. It supports both UFS and UFS2. I
will be maintaining it, and porting programs to use it, however for now, it
is simply being built as part of world.
