After years in the making, lualoader is ready to make its debut. Both
flavors of loader are still built by default, and may be installed as
/boot/loader or /boot/loader.efi as appropriate either by manually creating
hard links or using LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP as documented in build(7).

Compiling FreeBSD/i386 with modern GCC triggers warnings for various
places that convert 64-bit EFI_ADDRs to pointers and vice versa.
- Cast pointers to uintptr_t rather than to uint64_t when assigning
to a 64-bit integer.
- Cast 64-bit integers to uintptr_t before a cast to a pointer.

BD_SUPPORT_FRAGS is preprocessor knob to allow partial reads in bioscd/biosdisk
level. However, we already have support for partial reads in bcache, and there
is no need to have duplication via preprocessor controls.
Note that bioscd/biosdisk interface is assumed to perform IO in 512B blocks,
so the only translation we have to do is 512 <-> native block size.

While we're not super size constrained, the x86 BIOS /boot/loader has
to be less than about 520k-530k to be reliable. The LUA loader is at
this size today. -Oz saves 15-20% on the size, keeping us safely small
enough (comparable to where we were with the 4th loader). This will
also help with sjg's work on bringing in bearssl, though we may again
be looking for space in the LUA loader.
Size table for clang 6.0.0:
default -O1 -Os -Oz
4th 442368 417792 389120 376832
lua 524288 479232 446464 430080

Create loader_{4th,lua,simp}{,.efi}. All of these are installed by
default. Create LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP to specify the default
interpreter when no other is specified. LOADER_INTERP is the current
interpreter language building. Turn building of lua on by default to
match 4th. simploader is a simplified loader build w/o any interpreter
language (but with a simple loader). This is the historic behavir you
got with WITHOUT_FORTH. Make a hard link to the default loader. This
has to be a hard link rather than the more desirable soft link because
older zfsboot blocks don't support symlinks.

From the user point of view, it makes it possible to run eg the
shell as PID 1, using 'set init_exec=/bin/sh' at the loader(8)
prompt.

Since bd_open() does early increment for reference counter and bcache
allocation, it also should undo those in case of the error.
Also remove unused variables rdev, g_err.
On a FreeNAS mini XL, with geli encrypted drives the loader crashed in
geli_read().
When we iterate over the list of disks and allocate the zfsdsk structures we
don’t zero out the gdev pointer. In one case that resulted in geli_read()
(called on the bogus pointer) dividing by zero.
Use calloc() to ensure the zfsdsk structure is always zeroed, so the pointer is
initialised to NULL. As a side benefit it gets rid of one #ifdef
LOADER_GELI_SUPPORT.

report 0 in CHS fields, making the system to think there is 0 sectors.
Add a check before comparing the calculated total with bd_sectors.

efi-autoresizecons is currently executed for every boot. If it fails, we
risk failing the boot, and we really shouldn't do that unless we absolutely
must.
Not being able to locate GOP or UGA is not a significant enough failure to
kill the boot. We always have the option to fall back to resizing ConOut to
a higher text mode resolution (if available), so do that.
This was detected by Doug [1] while attempting a bhyve + UEFI + PXE boot.
This patch was effectively also submitted by Doug, but I expanded the
comment he had originally sent me a little bit to indicate why this is an OK
idea.

number of sectors reported through the BIOS. Cylinders * heads *
sectors may not necessarily be equal to the total number of sectors
reported through int13h function 48h.
An example of this is when a Mediasonic HD3-U2B PATA to USB enclosure
with a 80 GB disk is attached. Loader hangs at line 506 of
stand/i386/libi386/biosdisk.c while attempting to read sectors beyond
the end of the disk, sector 156906855. I discovered that the Mediasonic
enclosure was reporting the disk with 9767 cylinders, 255 heads, 63
sectors/track. That's 156906855 sectors. However camcontrol and
Windows 10 both report report the disk having 156301488 sectors, not
the calculated value. At line 280 biosdisk.c sets the sectors to the
higher of either bd->bd_sectors or the total calculated at line 276
(156906855) instead of the lower and correct value of 156301488 reported
by int 13h 48h.
This was tested on all three of my Mediasonic HD3-U2B PATA to USB
enclosures.
Instead of using the higher of bd_sectors (returned by int13h) or the
calculated value, this patch uses the lower and safer of the values.

If there are no block devices, there is no need to printout
error (ENOENT).
In case of netboot, our image path has no block device, no need to make
noise about it.
1MB was leaving very little margin in some of the worse-case scenarios with
lualoader. 2MB is still low enough that we shouldn't have any problems with
UBoot-supported boards.

Note when we've found a 8250 PNP node. Only try to set hw.uart.console
if we see one (otherwise ignore serial hints). The 8250 is the only
one known to have I/O ports, so limit the guessing to when we've
positively seen one. And limit this to x86 since that's the only
platform where we have I/O ports. Otherwise, we'd set the serial port
to something crazy for the platform and fall off the cliff early in
boot.

Add some verbose debugging information to the loader's new
choices. I'll remove these / put them behind a DEBUG define at a later
time. This is to give additional information if there's any dangling
edge cases not contemplated by the code. r336789 had most of this
change, but had the wrong commit message. This refines it slightly.
