Add an kinfo sysctl to retrieve signal trampoline location for the

Note that the correctness of the trampoline length returned for ABIs

Add CTLFLAG_STATS to sysctl flags

In preparation for sysctl(8) growing the ability to only print
out boot/run-time tunables we need a way to differentiate between
RW sysctl nodes that tune a particular thing, or simply export
a stat that we want to allow the sysadmin to reset to 0 (or some
other value).

To do so, we add the CTLFLAG_STATS which should be OR'd into the
CTLFLAGs when exporting a "writable/resettable" statistic node via
sysctl.

o) Add COMPAT_FREEBSD32 support for MIPS kernels using the n64 ABI with userlands
using the o32 ABI. This mostly follows nwhitehorn's lead in implementing
COMPAT_FREEBSD32 on powerpc64.
o) Add a new type to the freebsd32 compat layer, time32_t, which is time_t in the
32-bit ABI being used. Since the MIPS port is relatively-new, even the 32-bit
ABIs use a 64-bit time_t.
o) Because time{spec,val}32 has the same size and layout as time{spec,val} on MIPS
with 32-bit compatibility, then, disable some code which assumes otherwise
wrongly when built for MIPS. A more general macro to check in this case would
seem like a good idea eventually. If someone adds support for using n32
userland with n64 kernels on MIPS, then they will have to add a variety of
flags related to each piece of the ABI that can vary. That's probably the
right time to generalize further.
o) Add MIPS to the list of architectures which use PAD64_REQUIRED in the
freebsd32 compat code. Probably this should be generalized at some point.

Define two new sysctl node flags: CTLFLAG_CAPRD and CTLFLAG_CAPRW, which
may be jointly referenced via the mask CTLFLAG_CAPRW. Sysctls with these
flags are available in Capsicum's capability mode; other sysctl nodes are
not.

Flag several useful sysctls as available in capability mode, such as memory
layout sysctls required by the run-time linker and malloc(3). Also expose
access to randomness and available kernel features.

A few sysctls are enabled to support name->MIB conversion; these may leak
information to capability mode by virtue of providing resolution on names
not flagged for access in capability mode. This is, generally, not a huge
problem, but might be something to resolve in the future. Flag these cases
with XXX comments.

__FreeBSD_version was already bumped once today, so skip the bump, but

Note that __DESCR() is used in the SYSCTL_OID() macro and so is not
needed in macros that invoke it. This use was inconsistent in the
