cnv API is a set of functions for managing name/value pairs by cookie.
The cookie can be obtained by nvlist_next(), nvlist_get_parent() or
nvlist_get_pararr() function. This patch also includes unit tests.

The goal of this operation is to NOT install header files which shouldn't
be used outside the nvlist library.

Since METAMODE has been added, sys.mk loads bsd.mkopt.mk which ends load loading
bsd.own.mk which then defines SHLIBDIR before all the Makefile.inc everywhere.
This makes /lib being populated again.

Those functions are problematic, because there is no way to report
memory allocation problems without complicating the API, so we can
either abort or potentially return invalid results. None of which is
acceptable.
In most cases the caller knows the size of the name, so he can allocate
buffer on the stack and use snprintf(3) to prepare the name.
After some discussion the conclusion is to removed those functions,
which also simplifies the API.

Add an nvlist_set_error() function that can be used to force an
nvlist into the error state. This is useful both for writing
tests and for writing APIs that use nvlists internally.
