The vectx API, computes the hash for verifying a file as it is read.
This avoids the overhead of reading files twice - once to verify, then
again to load.
For doing an install via loader, avoiding the need to rewind
large files is critical.
This API is only used for modules, kernel and mdimage as these are the
biggest files read by the loader.
The reduction in boot time depends on how expensive the I/O is
on any given platform. On a fast VM we see 6% improvement.
For install via loader the first file to be verified is likely to be the
kernel, so some of the prep work (finding manifest etc) done by
verify_file() needs to be factored so it can be reused for
vectx_open().
For missing or unrecognized fingerprint entries, we fail
in vectx_open() unless verifying is disabled.
Otherwise fingerprint check happens in vectx_close() and
since this API is only used for files which must be verified
(VE_MUST) we panic if we get an incorrect hash.

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a
great soul has simply nothing to do. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
testmain is a userland application intended to be built with standard
headers and whatnot, which we broke.
Fix it by having the testmain build clobber cflags, reducing it to just the
set of defines/includes it needs to build.

OK. We don't really need a bsd.stand.mk, and it was causing a -fPIC
for the toolchain to be added (bogusly) when building on amd64. Pull
all relevant defs back into defs.mk and delete bsd.stand.mk.
This saves about 15-20k on i386 loader and zfsloader which when
combined with Lua give us a lot more stack space in those constrained
environments.
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.
This was an experiment that landed in the wrong branch and was pushed
accidentally. It's best if it is ignored because the difference was
due to vers.o being different, not float.o... And it was confirmed to
not fix anything...

We need to include ficl.h after the standard includes, rather than
before them. It changes the generated code in ways that haven't been
completely analyized. This restores the old code generation (as
verified by md5 changing back for zfsloader).
This should restore GPT + ZFS and GPT + ZFS + GELI booting that was
broken in r326585 (or would have been if r326584 hadn't broken the
build).
