installboot(8): fix up markup

Don't overuse .Sy - when everything is highlighted, nothing is. Use
.Ic for options &c to get correct PostScript output (both are bold in
plain text).

Use Aq Ar inside .Pa, as both Pa and Ar are rendered as underscored
text in plain text output, and the distinction is lost.

Don't set examples in bold, but give them .Pp space around - they are
much easier to read this way.

Use consistent -width in FILES.

installboot(8): formatting improvements

Use Ar foo instead of <foo>; this is mdoc.
Other formatting tweaks.

usr.sbin/installboot: Add a command line option (-u) to set U-Boot search paths

Installboot can install U-Boot boot blocks directly into a system
image. Normally, the U-Boot files are searched for in
/usr/pkg/share/u-boot, under the expectation that most people will
build them with pkgsrc. However, it is also possible to set an
environment variable (INSTALLBOOT_UBOOT_PATHS) to a colon-separated
search path to accommodate other situations. This commit adds a
command line option (-u) to set the search path; if present, it
overrides the environment and default.

Add installboot(8) support for evbarm (and, in the future, other evb*)
boards that use u-boot. A known board database lists boards and their
respective u-boot packages. u-boot packages are discovered at run-time
(in /usr/pkg/share/u-boot, by default). These packages contain board
database overlays that describe u-boot installation procedure that's
specific for that board.

Support this as a native tool and as a host tool. The native tool
will attempt to determine the running board type using OpenFirmware
calls. Host tool and native tool alike may also specify a board type
directly using the "-o board=xxx option" or have installboot(8) determine
the board type from a device tree blob using "-o dtb=/path/to/board.dtb".
A "-o media=xxx" option is provided for boards that have different u-boot
binaries and/or installation procedures for different media types (e.g.
SDMMC, eMMC, or USB).

This is trivial to extend to other evb* platforms that use u-boot, even if
they don't use FDT for autoconfiguration.

merge the rest of sbmips into evbmips. install the stand files in
/usr/mdec/sbmips/ and document them in installboot(8) even though
it isn't really ported yet. also build the SBMIPS kernels.

unfortunately, sbmips has been broken since mips64 merge, but the
fix can happen in the evbmips version, which we might merge into
the older trees anyway.

XXX: releng can turn off sbmips* builds now for -current.

Appease various mandoc -Tlint warnings and update copyright while we're here


# fdfdea60 24-Feb-2014 skrll <skrll@NetBSD.org>

Rename NetBSD/hp700 to NetBSD/hppa.

Unfortunately our VCS isn't very helpful here.

Add missing word.


# 1ed3378e 10-Mar-2012 dsl <dsl@NetBSD.org>

Some FAT16 filesystems don't have 'hidden sectors' correctly set to
the offset of the filesystem on the disk.
Let '-b s1blk' be used to fix the value.


# 497d6adb 11-Feb-2012 ast <ast@NetBSD.org>

Use "NetBSD 6.0" and not "NetBSD 6" and sound less like a broken record.
Add note where the actual example is because that's where it's expected.
Part of earlier commit ok-ed by releng@


# f25325b8 10-Feb-2012 wiz <wiz@NetBSD.org>
