It implements missing man(7) macros used in base by kerberos/ntp and makes them
supported by mandoc.
This import should have been done before the removal of groff.

Prefer ${SRCTOP}/foo over ${.CURDIR}/../../foo and ${SRCTOP}/usr.bin/foo
over ${.CURDIR}/../foo for paths in Makefiles.

Note that mandoc does not use anymore sqlite3 but a home made database format
An important improvement has been made as well in makewhatis performance:
Tests on my laptop shows makewhatis on the entire system goes from 26s to 12s
libopenbsd is an internal library which
to bring in compatibility stuff from OpenBSD.
This will allow us to bring in more
OpenBSD utilities into the FreeBSD base system.
We similarly use libnetbsd for bringing in stuff from NetBSD.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

This change among other things improve search capabilities over the manpages
allowing fine grain query.
A new build option WITHOUT_MANDOCDB has been added to keep the ancient version
of the database and the tools. The plan is to entirely remove this option before
11.0-RELEASE.

- 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))
1. 50+% of NO_PIE use is fixed by adding -fPIC to INTERNALLIB and other
build-only utility libraries.
2. Another 40% is fixed by generating _pic.a variants of various libraries.
3. Some of the NO_PIE use is a bit absurd as it is disabling PIE (and ASLR)
where it never would work anyhow, such as csu or loader. This suggests
there may be better ways of adding support to the tree. Many of these
cases can be fixed such that -fPIE will work but there is really no
reason to have it in those cases.
4. Some of the uses are working around hacks done to some Makefiles that are
really building libraries but have been using bsd.prog.mk because the code
is cleaner. Had they been using bsd.lib.mk then NO_PIE would not have
been needed.
We likely do want to enable PIE by default (opt-out) for non-tree consumers
(such as ports). For in-tree though we probably want to only enable PIE
(opt-in) for common attack targets such as remote service daemons and setuid
utilities. This is also a great performance compromise since ASLR is expected
to reduce performance. As such it does not make sense to enable it in all
utilities such as ls(1) that have little benefit to having it enabled.

This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.
