Although we don't use it in tree yet libstand is installed as user-

Instead of conflicting with ongoing libstand Makefile deduplication,
just add it now.
Set _PATH_DEFPATH to
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin. This is the
path in the default class in the default /etc/login.conf,
excluding ~/bin which would not be expanded properly in a string
constant.
For normal logins, _PATH_DEFPATH is overridden by /etc/login.conf,
~/.login_conf or shell startup files. _PATH_DEFPATH is still used as a
default by execlp(), execvp(), posix_spawnp() and sh if PATH is not set, and
by cron. Especially the latter is a common trap (most recently in PR
204813).

libstand is built in three places (lib/libstand, sys/boot/libstand32,
and sys/boot/userboot/libstand). Reduce Makefile duplication by
.including libstand/Makefile from sys/boot/libstand32/Makefile.
sys/boot/userboot/libstand/Makefile will be addressed later, as it
contains additional differences yet to be handled.
This change also switches libstand32 to use the new uuid_from_string

Traditionally the hcreate() function creates a hash table that uses
chaining, using a fixed user-provided size. The problem with this
approach is that this often either wastes memory (table too big) or
yields bad performance (table too small). For applications it may not
always be easy to estimate the right hash table size. A fixed number
only increases performance compared to a linked list by a constant
factor.
This problem can be solved easily by dynamically resizing the hash
table. If the size of the hash table is at least doubled, this has no
negative on the running time complexity. If a dynamically sized hash
table is used, we can also switch to using open addressing instead of
chaining, which has the advantage of just using a single allocation for
the entire table, instead of allocating many small objects.
Finally, a problem with the existing implementation is that its
deterministic algorithm for hashing makes it possible to come up with
fixed patterns to trigger an excessive number of collisions. We can
easily solve this by using FNV-1a as a hashing algorithm in combination
with a randomly generated offset basis.
Measurements have shown that this implementation is about 20-25% faster
than the existing implementation (even if the existing implementation is
given an excessive number of buckets). Though it allocates more memory
through malloc() than the old implementation (between 4-8 pointers per
used entry instead of 3), process memory use is similar to the old
implementation as if the estimated size was underestimated by a factor
10. This is due to the fact that malloc() needs to perform less
bookkeeping.

The existing implementations of POSIX tsearch() and tdelete() don't
attempt to perform any balancing at all. Testing reveals that inserting
100k nodes into a tree sequentially takes approximately one minute on my
system.
Though most other BSDs also don't use any balanced tree internally, C
libraries like glibc and musl do provide better implementations. glibc
uses a red-black tree and musl uses an AVL tree.
Red-black trees have the advantage over AVL trees that they only require
O(1) rotations after insertion and deletion, but have the disadvantage
that the tree has a maximum depth of 2*log2(n) instead of 1.44*log2(n).
My take is that it's better to focus on having a lower maximum depth,
for the reason that in the case of tsearch() the invocation of the
comparator likely dominates the running time.
This change replaces the tsearch() and tdelete() functions by versions
that create an AVL tree. Compared to musl's implementation, this version
is different in two different ways:
- We don't keep track of heights; just balances. This is sufficient.
This has the advantage that it reduces the number of nodes that are
being accessed. Storing heights requires us to also access all of the
siblings along the path.
- Don't use any recursion at all. We know that the tree cannot 2^64
elements in size, so the height of the tree can never be larger than
96. Use a 128-bit bitmask to keep track of the path that is computed.
This allows us to iterate over the same path twice, meaning we can
apply rotations from top to bottom.
Inserting 100k nodes into a tree now only takes 0.015 seconds. Insertion
seems to be twice as fast as glibc, whereas deletion has about the same
performance. Unlike glibc, it uses a fixed amount of memory.
I also experimented with both recursive and iterative bottom-up
implementations of the same algorithm. This iterative top-down version
performs similar to the recursive bottom-up version in terms of speed
and code size.
For some reason, the iterative bottom-up algorithm was actually 30%
faster for deletion, but has a quadratic memory complexity to keep track
of all the parent pointers.

variables in loader(8) and other libstand applications.
Sometimes a dhcp server provides incorrect information along with the IP
address. It would be useful to have a way to override this with
locally-supplied information, such as command line parameters passed from a
prior-stage bootloader. This change allows pre-existing env vars to take
precedence over values delivered by the dhcp or bootp server.
The bootp/dhcp code in libstand automatically creates environment variables
from the data provided by the server (dhcp.root-path, dhcp.domain-name,
etc). It also transcribes the values to some global variables such as
'rootpath' and 'hostname'.
This change does two things:
When adding dhcp.* vars to the environment, don't replace existing
vars/values.
When setting the global vars rootpath and hostname, use the
dhcp.root-path and dhcp.host-name env var values if they exist.
This allows the platform-specific part of loader(8) to obtain override
values in some platform-specific way and store them in the environment
before opening the network device. The set of values that can be overriden
is currently limited to just string options. The values that are delivered
as binary data are things that probably shouldn't be overridden (IP,
netmask, gateway, etc).
