LinuxKPI: add firmware loading support

Implement linux firmware KPI compat code.
This includes: request_firmware() request_firmware_nowait(),
request_firmware_direct(), firmware_request_nowarn(),
and release_firmware().

Given we will try to map requested names from natively ported
or full-linuxkpi-using drivers to a firmware(9) auto-loading
name format (.ko file name and image name matching),
we quieten firmware(9) and print success or failure (unless
the _nowarn() version was called) in the linuxkpi implementation.
At the moment we try up-to 4 different naming combinations,
with path stripped, original name, and requested name with '/'
or '.' replaced.

We do not currently defer loading in the "nowait" case.

Finish process of moving the LinuxKPI module into the default kernel build.

- Move all files related to the LinuxKPI into sys/compat/linuxkpi and
its subfolders.
- Update sys/conf/files and some Makefiles to use new file locations.
- Added description of COMPAT_LINUXKPI to sys/conf/NOTES which in turn
adds the LinuxKPI to all LINT builds.
- The LinuxKPI can be added to the kernel by setting the
COMPAT_LINUXKPI option. The OFED kernel option no longer builds the
LinuxKPI into the kernel. This was done to keep the build rules for
the LinuxKPI in sys/conf/files simple.
- Extend the LinuxKPI module to include support for USB by moving the
Linux USB compat from usb.ko to linuxkpi.ko.
- Bump the FreeBSD_version.
- A universe kernel build has been done.
