Limit the pool to maxproc and add hooks to allow the sysctl changing of
maxproc to adjust the pool.

This comes at a 5% performance penalty for build.sh -j8 kernel on a
Tegra TK1.

- Eliminate the global "boottime" variable, which was being accessed
without any synchronization against changes by e.g. clock_settime().
- Replace with new getbinboottime() / getnanoboottime() / getmicroboottime()
functions (naming mirrors that of other time access functions in kern_tc.c).
It returns the (maybe-converted) value of timebasebin, which also tracks
our estimate of when the system was booted (i.e. the legacy "boottime" was
redundant).

XXX There needs to be a lockless synchronization mechanism for reading
timebasebin, but this is a problem in kern_tc.c that pre-existed these
"boottime" changes. At least now the problem is centralized in one location.

Expose addresses depending on the KASLR setting (from mrg@). Restores the
status quo of exposing kernel addresses if there is no KASLR.

Fix kernel pointer leaks in the kern.lwp sysctl.

Provide a sysctl kern.expose_address to expose kernel addresses in
sysctl structure returns for non-root. Defaults to off. Turning it
on will restore sockstat/fstat and friends for regular users.

CTL_DEBUG_MAXID is only used to size a static array that the compiler

Rename min/max -> uimin/uimax for better honesty.

These functions are defined on unsigned int. The generic name
min/max should not silently truncate to 32 bits on 64-bit systems.
This is purely a name change -- no functional change intended.

HOWEVER! Some subsystems have

#define min(a, b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b))
#define max(a, b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b))

even though our standard name for that is MIN/MAX. Although these
may invite multiple evaluation bugs, these do _not_ cause integer
truncation.

To avoid `fixing' these cases, I first changed the name in libkern,
and then compile-tested every file where min/max occurred in order to
confirm that it failed -- and thus confirm that nothing shadowed
min/max -- before changing it.

I have left a handful of bootloaders that are too annoying to
compile-test, and some dead code:

cobalt ews4800mips hp300 hppa ia64 luna68k vax
acorn32/if_ie.c (not included in any kernels)
macppc/if_gm.c (superseded by gem(4))

It should be easy to fix the fallout once identified -- this way of
doing things fails safe, and the goal here, after all, is to _avoid_
silent integer truncations, not introduce them.

Maybe one day we can reintroduce min/max as type-generic things that
never silently truncate. But we should avoid doing that for a while,
so that existing code has a chance to be detected by the compiler for
conversion to uimin/uimax without changing the semantics until we can
properly audit it all. (Who knows, maybe in some cases integer
truncation is actually intended!)

Add a global vnode cache:

- vcache_get() retrieves a referenced and initialised vnode / fs node pair.
- vcache_remove() removes a vnode / fs node pair from the cache.

On cache miss vcache_get() calls new vfs operation vfs_loadvnode() to
initialise a vnode / fs node pair. This call is guaranteed exclusive,
no other thread will try to load this vnode / fs node pair.
