Overhaul of the EVFILT_VNODE kevent(2) filter:

- Centralize vnode kevent handling in the VOP_*() wrappers, rather than
forcing each individual file system to deal with it (except VOP_RENAME(),
because VOP_RENAME() is a mess and we currently have 2 different ways
of handling it; at least it's reasonably well-centralized in the "new"
way).
- Add support for NOTE_OPEN, NOTE_CLOSE, NOTE_CLOSE_WRITE, and NOTE_READ,
compatible with the same events in FreeBSD.
- Track which kevent notifications clients are interested in receiving
to avoid doing work for events no one cares about (avoiding, e.g.
taking locks and traversing the klist to send a NOTE_WRITE when
someone is merely watching for a file to be deleted, for example).

In support of the above:

- Add support in vnode_if.sh for specifying PRE- and POST-op handlers,
to be invoked before and after vop_pre() and vop_post(), respectively.
Basic idea from FreeBSD, but implemented differently.
- Add support in vnode_if.sh for specifying CONTEXT fields in the
vop_*_args structures. These context fields are used to convey information
between the file system VOP function and the VOP wrapper, but do not
occupy an argument slot in the VOP_*() call itself. These context fields
are initialized and subsequently interpreted by PRE- and POST-op handlers.
- Version VOP_REMOVE(), uses the a context field for the file system to report
back the resulting link count of the target vnode. Return this in tmpfs,
udf, nfs, chfs, ext2fs, lfs, and ufs.

- Add a new vnode op: VOP_PARSEPATH.
- Move namei_getcomponent to genfs_vnops.c and call it genfs_parsepath.
- Add a parsepath entry to every vnode ops table.

VOP_PARSEPATH takes a directory vnode to be searched and a complete
following path and chooses how much of that path to consume. To begin
with, all parsepath calls are genfs_parsepath, which locates the first
'/' as always.

Note that the call doesn't take the whole struct componentname, only
the string. The other bits of struct componentname should not be
needed and there's no reason to cause potential complications by
exposing them.

Make VOP_RECLAIM do the last unlock of the vnode.

VOP_RECLAIM naturally has exclusive access to the vnode, so having it
locked on entry is not strictly necessary -- but it means if there
are any final operations that must be done on the vnode, such as
ffs_update, requiring exclusive access to it, we can now kassert that
the vnode is locked in those operations.

We can't just have the caller release the last lock because some file
systems don't use genfs_lock, and require the vnode to remain valid
for VOP_UNLOCK to work, notably unionfs.

Add VOP_FALLOCATE and VOP_FDISCARD to every vnode ops table I can
find.

The filesystem ones all call genfs_eopnotsupp - right now I am only
implementing the plumbing and we can implement fallocate and/or
fdiscard for files later.

The device ones call spec_fallocate (which is also genfs_eopnotsupp)
and spec_fdiscard, which dispatches to the device-level op.

The fifo ones all call vn_fifo_bypass, which also ends up being
EOPNOTSUPP.

The current implementation of vn_lock() is racy. Modification of
the vnode operations vector for active vnodes is unsafe because it
is not known whether deadfs or the original file system will be
called.

- Pass down LK_RETRY to the lock operation (hint for deadfs only).

- Change deadfs lock operation to return ENOENT if LK_RETRY is unset.

- Change all other lock operations to check for dead vnode once
the vnode is locked and unlock and return ENOENT in this case.

With these changes in place vnode lock operations will never succeed
after vclean() has marked the vnode as VI_XLOCK and before vclean()
has changed the operations vector.
