kern linker: Don't invoke dtors without having invoked ctors

I have a kernel module which fails to load because of an unrecognized
relocation type. link_elf_load_file() fails before the module's ctors
are invoked and it calls linker_file_unload(), which causes the module's
dtors to be executed, resulting in a kernel panic.

Add a flag to the linker file to ensure that dtors are not invoked if
unloading due to an error prior to ctors being invoked.

At the moment I only implemented this for link_elf_obj.c since
link_elf.c doesn't invoke dtors, but I refactored link_elf.c to make
them more similar.

kern linker: Do not touch userrefs of the kernel file

A nonzero `userrefs` of a linker file indicates that the file, either
loaded from kldload(2) or preloaded, can be unloaded via kldunload(2).
As for the kernel file, it can be unloaded by the loader but should not
be after initialization.

This change fixes regression from d9ce8a41eac9 which incidentally
increases `userrefs` of the kernel file.

ddb: Add CTF-based pretty printing

Add basic CTF support and a CTF-powered pretty-printer to ddb.

The db_ctf.* files expose a basic interface for fetching type
data for ELF symbols, interacting with the CTF string table,
and translating type identifiers to type data.

The db_pprint.c file uses those interfaces to implement
a pretty-printer for all kernel ELF symbols.
The pretty-printer works with symbol names and arbitrary addresses:
pprint struct thread 0xffffffff8194ad90

Pretty-printing currently only works after the root filesystem
gets mounted because the CTF info is not available during
early boot.

LINKER_LOAD_FILE() calls linker_load_dependencies() which will return

is no need to retry loading with a different linker, otherwise the
userland will get misleading error number ENOEXEC.

sysctl(9): Enable vnet sysctl variables to be loader tunable

Complete phase two of 3da1cf1e88f8.

In 3da1cf1e88f8, the meaning of the flag CTLFLAG_TUN is extended to
automatically check if there is a kernel environment variable which
shall initialize the SYSCTL during early boot. It works for all SYSCTL
types both statically and dynamically created ones, except for the
SYSCTLs which belong to VNETs.

This change extends the meaning further, to allow it also works for
the SYSCTLs which belong to VNETs. A typical usage is
```
VNET_DEFINE_STATIC(int, foo) = 0;
SYSCTL_INT(_net, OID_AUTO, foo, CTLFLAG_RWTUN | CTLFLAG_VNET,
&VNET_NAME(foo), 0, "Description of the foo loader tunable");
```

Note that the implementation has a limitation. It behaves the same way
as that of non-vnet loader tunables. That is, after the kernel or modules
being initialized, any changes (e.g. via kenv) to kernel environment
variable will not affect the corresponding vnet variable of subsequently
created VNETs. To overcome it, we can use TUNABLE_XXX_FETCH to fetch
the kernel environment variable into those vnet variables during vnet
constructing.

This change will fix the following SYSCTLs those belong to VNETs and
have CTLFLAG_TUN flag:
```
net.add_addr_allfibs
net.bpf.optimize_writers
net.inet.tcp.fastopen.ccache_buckets
net.link.bridge.inherit_mac
net.link.bridge.ipfw_arp
net.link.bridge.log_stp
net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge
net.link.bridge.pfil_local_phys
net.link.bridge.pfil_member
net.link.bridge.pfil_onlyip
net.link.lagg.default_use_flowid
net.link.lagg.default_use_numa
net.link.lagg.default_flowid_shift
net.link.lagg.lacp.debug
net.link.lagg.lacp.default_strict_mode
```

Although the following vnet SYSCTLs have CTLFLAG_TUN flag, theirs
values are re-fetched via TUNABLE_XXX_FETCH, thus are not affected
by this change.
```
net.inet.ip.reass_hashsize
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.cachelimit
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.hashsize
net.inet.tcp.hostcache.bucketlimit
net.inet.tcp.syncache.bucketlimit

pmc: Provide full path to modules from kernel linker

This unifies the user object and kernel module paths in libpmcstat,
allows modules loaded from non-standard locations (e.g. from a user's
home directory when testing) to be found and, since buffer is what all
the warnings here use (they were never updated when buffer_modules were
added to pick based on where the file was found) has the side-effect of
ensuring the messages are correct.

This includes obsoleting the now-superfluous -k option in pmcstat.

This change breaks the hwpmc ABI and will be followed by a bump to the
pmc major version.
