The GNU extension bits in the base system are old, no longer faithful
to upstream, and surprising in some regards. Switch to documenting
WITH_GNU_GREP_COMPAT and default GNU_GREP_COMPAT to OFF in the name of
good behavior.
According to http://www.regular-expressions.info, GNU extensions:
- Add missing quantifiers to BREs: \?, \+
- Add branching to BREs: \|
- Add backreferences (\1 through \9) to EREs
- Add \w, \W, \s, and \S corresponding to :alnum:, [^[:alnum:]],
:space:, and [^[:space:]] respectively
- Add word boundaries and anchors:
\b: word boundary
\B: not word boundary
\<: Strt of word
\>: End of word
\`: Start of subject string
\': End of subject string
These extensions are still available in /usr/bin/grep by default today,
as it is still GNU grep. As part of the bsdgrep migration plan these
extensions may be added to bsdgrep's regex support if necessary.

Bugs have been found in the fastmatch implementation as used in bsdgrep.
Some have been fixed (r316495) while fixes for others are in review
(D10098).
In comparison with the fastmatch implementation, Kyle Evans found that:
- regex(3)'s performance with literal expressions offers a speed
improvement over fastmatch
- regex(3)'s performance, both with simple BREs and EREs, seems to be
comparable
The regex implementation was imported in r226035, and the commit message
reports:
This is a temporary solution until the whole regex library is
not replaced so that BSD grep development can continue and the
backported code gets some review and testing. This change only
improves scalability slightly, there is no big performance boost
yet but several minor bugs have been found and fixed.
Introduce a WITH_/WITHOUT_BSD_GREP_FASTMATCH knob to support testing
of both approaches.

These have no effect (and WITHOUT_GNU is documented as having no
effect). I intend to later introduce a WITHOUT_GPL knob to serve a
similar purpose as WITHOUT_GNU's previously documented intent, but with
a more accurate name. To avoid confusion over the transition though just
remove the existing, nonfunctional ones.
Note that this commit also adds the default riscv settings for all
options since riscv was added to 'make targets' since the last time
this was generated.

Note that makeman's use of 'make showconfig' interacts poorly with
the COMPILER_FEATURES test in share/mk/src.opts.mk, because it tests the
host compiler, not the bootstrap compiler that will actually be used to
build world. This causes it to report that Clang is enabled by default
on MIPS and PowerPC.
For example:
% make TARGET_ARCH=mips64 showconfig | grep CLANG
MK_CLANG = yes
MK_CLANG_BOOTSTRAP = no
MK_CLANG_EXTRAS = no
MK_CLANG_FULL = yes
MK_CLANG_IS_CC = no
I am committing this version anyway to avoid extraneous diffs in
src.conf.5 after every other WITH_/WITHOUT_FOO change.
In addition, we intend to switch to a C++11 compiler for all archs for
12.0 (either by fixing Clang for those archs, or by requiring an
external toolchain), and then src.conf.5 will be correct.

compile options. Remove doxygen pointers to now deleted files. Remove
EISA and VME as examples in bus_space.9.
Retained EISA mode code for IO PIC and MPTABLES because that's not
EISA bus, per se, and some people have abused EISA to mean "EISA-like
behavior as opposed to ISA" rather than using it for EISA add-in
cards.
