Cosmetic boot fix.
The NetBSD boot loader loads automatically the kernel module appropriate
for the detected root file system; it is preset at "ffs". The MINIX3fs
support does not reset the underlying global variable, since there are
no use for this on MINIX. As a result, the boot loader searches for
/ffs.kmod, and issues two warnings about "module failure to open/load."

VFS: improve crashed FS resource cleanup
When VFS detects that an FS has crashed and tries to clean up
resources, it marks fairly late in the process that a vmnt is not
to be used again (to send requests to). This allows a thread to
become blocked on a vmnt after all blocked threads were stopped, but
before it finds out it shouldn't try to send to that vmnt.

VFS: fix last_dir not returning last directory
If the provided path was only a single component (i.e., without
slashes), then last_dir would return early and skip the symlink
detection (i.e., check whether the path ends in a symlink and resolve
that first before returning). This bug triggered an assert in open
which expects that an advance after an last_dir (with VMNT_WRITE lock)
does not yield another vmnt lock.

VFS: remove erroneous assert
The assert was meant as an additional check to the assert in link.c:198.
The reasoning behind the assert in link.c:198 is that once you've
obtained a write lock on a vmnt, you can't get an additional read lock
on the same vmnt. However, that does not always hold for the assert in
path.c:281 where the situation could be that you've obtained a read lock
and managed to get another read lock (this is possible). In other words,
the assert in path.c:281 is not the right place to check for that
situation.

VFS: various select fixes
- Fix locking bug when unable to send DEV_SELECT request. Upon failure
VFS tried to cancel the select operation, but this failed due to trying
to lock a filp that was already locked to send the request in the first
place. Do_select_request now handles locking of filps itself instead of
relying on the caller to do it. This fixes a crash when killing INET.
- Fix failure to revive a process after a non-blocking select operation
yielded no ready select operations when replying DEV_SEL_REPL1.
- Improve readability by using OK, SUSPEND, and standard error values as
results instead of having separate macros in select.
- Don't print not having a driver for a major device; after killing a driver
select will trigger this printf.

Full switch to clang/ELF. Drop ack. Simplify.
There is important information about booting non-ack images in
docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and
booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the
new boot monitor is recommended.
Changes in this commit:
. drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support
. facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor
can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING
. no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries
. some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases
. drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support
commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet).
. a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir
. new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/
. test compile fix
. harmonize includes
. /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no
kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping
is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even
less on the state of the machine making them now.
. rename nbsd_lib* to lib*
. reduce mtree

Remove libkern, leave just header.
Boot stuff dependencies from NetBSD.
Patch by Antoine Leca. Relocated to src/sys.
The port is using the same libminc.a as usual MINIX services (and does
not use NetBSD libkern); the headers imported from NetBSD sys/ tree
have been kept to a minimum (still numbers higher than 30 though.)
Note the peculiar way to use libraries (libsa, libi386, etc.): the
source code is shared, but each component builds its own copy of the
library, with its own set of preprocessor defines.

- When cancelling ioctls, VFS did not remember which file descriptor
to cancel and sent bogus to the driver.
- Select state was not cleaned up when select()ing process was
interrupted.
- Process trying to do a system call at the exact same time as a user
trying to interrupt the process, could cause the system call worker
thread to overwrite state belonging to the worker thread trying to
exit the process. This led to hanging threads and eventual system hang
when this happens often enough.

clean up resources associated with the mount point before the mount
