Add containment for the cloning devices hack in vn_open.

Cloning devices (and also things like /dev/stderr) work by allocating
a struct file, stuffing it in the file table (which is a layer
violation), stuffing the file descriptor number for it in a magic
field of struct lwp (which is gross), and then "failing" with one of
two magic errnos, EDUPFD or EMOVEFD.

Before this commit, all callers of vn_open in the kernel (there are
quite a few) were expected to check for these errors and handle the
situation. Needless to say, none of them except for open() itself did,
resulting in internal negative errnos being returned to userspace.

This hack is fairly deeply rooted and cannot be eliminated all at
once. This commit adds logic to handle the magic errnos inside
vn_open; now on success vn_open returns either a vnode or an integer
file descriptor, along with a flag that says whether the underlying
code requested EDUPFD or EMOVEFD. Callers not prepared to cope with
file descriptors can pass NULL for the extra return values, in which
case if a file descriptor would be produced vn_open fails with
EOPNOTSUPP.

Since I'm rearranging vn_open's signature anyway, stop exposing struct
nameidata. Instead, take three arguments: an optional vnode to use as
the starting point (like openat()), the path, and additional namei
flags to use, restricted to NOCHROOT and TRYEMULROOT. (Other namei
behavior, e.g. NOFOLLOW, can be requested via the open flags.)

This change requires a kernel bump. Ride the one an hour ago.
(That was supposed to be coordinated; did not intend to let an hour
slip by. My fault.)

Round of uvm.h cleanup.

The poorly named uvm.h is generally supposed to be for uvm-internal
users only.

- Narrow it to files that actually need it -- mostly files that need
to query whether curlwp is the pagedaemon, which should maybe be
exposed by an external header.

- Use uvm_extern.h where feasible and uvm_*.h for things not exposed
by it. We should split up uvm_extern.h but this will serve for now
to reduce the uvm.h dependencies.

- Use uvm_stat.h and #ifdef UVMHIST uvm.h for files that use
UVMHIST(ubchist), since ubchist is declared in uvm.h but the
reference evaporates if UVMHIST is not defined, so we reduce header
file dependencies.

- Make uvm_device.h and uvm_swap.h independently includable while
here.

Introduce struct pathbuf. This is an abstraction to hold a pathname
and the metadata required to interpret it. Callers of namei must now
create a pathbuf and pass it to NDINIT (instead of a string and a
uio_seg), then destroy the pathbuf after the namei session is
complete.

Update all namei call sites accordingly. Add a pathbuf(9) man page and
update namei(9).

The pathbuf interface also now appears in a couple of related
additional places that were passing string/uio_seg pairs that were
later fed into NDINIT. Update other call sites accordingly.
