2a7d4d9545 kldload(8): Improve phrasing
Mountroot isn't documented in the extant manual pages - so this
phrasing, while less absolute and concise, still conveys which
modules are recommended to be handled via loader.conf(5), and it also
does a better job of elucidating that the modules can include filesystem
drivers.

866c8b8d5d kldload(8): Add note about using kld_list in rc.conf(5)
While here, also recommend that loader.conf(5) should only be used in
order to get to mountroot, as rc(8) is less fragile, faster, and is
easier to fix by booting to single-user mode instead of having to
blacklist modules in the loader.

1de7b4b805 various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified 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.

No functional change intended.

ccfb965433 Add META_MODE support.
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.
