Rename struct device to struct _device

types.h defines device_t as a typedef of struct device *. struct device
is defined in subr_bus.c and almost all of the kernel uses device_t.
The LinuxKPI also defines a struct device, so type confusion can occur.

This causes bugs and ambiguity for debugging tools. Rename the FreeBSD
struct device to struct _device.

Remove obsolete check for GCC < 3 and support for Intel Compiler

We no longer support old versions of GCC. Remove this check by
assuming it's false. That will make the entire expression false. Also
remove support for Intel compiler, it's badly bitrotted. Technically,
this removes support for C89 and K&R from compilers that don't define
_Bool in those compilation environments as well. I'm unaware of any
working compiler today for which that would be relevant (pcc has it
and tcc sadly isn't working for other reasons), though if one

Change the vm_ooffset_t type to unsigned.

The type represents byte offset in the vm_object_t data space, which
does not span negative offsets in FreeBSD VM. The change matches byte
offset signess with the unsignedness of the vm_pindex_t which
represents the type of the page indexes in the objects.

This allows to remove the UOFF_TO_IDX() macro which was used when we
have to forcibly interpret the type as unsigned anyway. Also it fixes
a lot of implicit bugs in the device drivers d_mmap methods.

Make struct xinpcb and friends word-size independent.

Replace size_t members with ksize_t (uint64_t) and pointer members
(never used as pointers in userspace, but instead as unique
idenitifiers) with kvaddr_t (uint64_t). This makes the structs
identical between 32-bit and 64-bit ABIs.

On 64-bit bit systems, the ABI is maintained. On 32-bit systems,
this is an ABI breaking change. The ABI of most of these structs
was previously broken in r315662. This also imposes a small API
change on userspace consumers who must handle kernel pointers
becoming virtual addresses.

Fix the encoding of major and minor numbers in 64-bit dev_t by restoring
the old encodings for the lower 16 and 32 bits and only using the
higher 32 bits for unusually large major and minor numbers.

Fix the encoding of major and minor numbers in 64-bit dev_t by restoring
the old encodings for the lower 16 and 32 bits and only using the
higher 32 bits for unusually large major and minor numbers. This
change breaks compatibility with the previous encoding (which was only
used in -current).

Fix truncation to (essentially) 16-bit dev_t in newnfs v3.

Any encoding of device numbers gives an ABI, so it can't be changed
without translations for compatibility. Extra bits give the much
larger complication that the translations need to compress into fewer
bits. Fortunately, more than 32 bits are rarely needed, so
compression is rarely needed except for 16-bit linux dev_t where it
was always needed but never done.

The previous encoding moved the major number into the top 32 bits.
Almost no translation code handled this, so the major number was blindly
truncated away in most 32-bit encodings. E.g., for ffs, mknod(8) with
major = 1 and minor = 2 gave dev_t = 0x10000002; ffs cannot represent
this and blindly truncated it to 2. But if this mknod was run on any
released version of FreeBSD, it gives dev_t = 0x102. ffs can represent
this, but in the previous encoding it was not decoded, giving major = 0,
minor = 0x102.

The presence of bugs was most obvious for exporting dev_t's from an
old system to -current, since bugs in newnfs augment them. I fixed
oldnfs to support 32-bit dev_t in 1996 (r16634), but this regressed
to 16-bit dev_t in newnfs, first to the old 16-bit encoding and then
further in -current. E.g., old ad0 with major = 234, minor = 0x10002
had the correct (major, minor) number on the wire, but newnfs truncated
this to (234, 2) and then the previous encoding shifted the major
number into oblivion as seen by ffs or old applications.

I first tried to fix this by translating on every ABI/API boundary, but
there are too many boundaries and too many sloppy translations by blind
truncation. So use the old encoding for the low 32 bits so that sloppy
translations work no worse than before provided the high 32 bits are
not set. Add some error checking for when bits are lost. Keep not
doing any error checking for translations for almost everything in
compat/linux.

compat/freebsd32/freebsd32_misc.c:
Optionally check for losing bits after possibly-truncating assignments as
before.

compat/linux/linux_stats.c:
Depend on the representation being compatible with Linux's (or just with
itself for local use) and spell some of the translations as assignments in
a macro that hides the details.

fs/nfsclient/nfs_clcomsubs.c:
Essentially the same fix as in 1996, except there is now no possible
truncation in makedev() itself. Also fix nearby style bugs.

kern/vfs_syscalls.c:
As for freebsd32. Also update the sysctl description to include file
numbers, and change it to describe device ids as device numbers.

sys/types.h:
Use inline functions (wrapped by macros) since the expressions are now
a bit too complicated for plain macros. Describe the encoding and
some of the reasons for it. 16-bit compatibility didn't leave many
reasonable choices for the 32-bit encoding, and 32-bit compatibility
doesn't leave many reasonable choices for the 64-bit encoding. My
choice is to put the 8 new minor bits in the low 8 bits of the top 32
bits. This minimizes discontiguities.

This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.

Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.

This change has been broken out to facilitate MFC'ing drivers back to 10 without

Change the cap_rights_t type from uint64_t to a structure that we can extend
in the future in a backward compatible (API and ABI) way.

The cap_rights_t represents capability rights. We used to use one bit to
represent one right, but we are running out of spare bits. Currently the new
structure provides place for 114 rights (so 50 more than the previous
cap_rights_t), but it is possible to grow the structure to hold at least 285
rights, although we can make it even larger if 285 rights won't be enough.

The structure definition looks like this:

struct cap_rights {
uint64_t cr_rights[CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION + 2];
};

The initial CAP_RIGHTS_VERSION is 0.

The top two bits in the first element of the cr_rights[] array contain total
number of elements in the array - 2. This means if those two bits are equal to
0, we have 2 array elements.

The top two bits in all remaining array elements should be 0.
The next five bits in all array elements contain array index. Only one bit is
used and bit position in this five-bits range defines array index. This means
there can be at most five array elements in the future.

To define new right the CAPRIGHT() macro must be used. The macro takes two
arguments - an array index and a bit to set, eg.

#define CAP_PDKILL CAPRIGHT(1, 0x0000000000000800ULL)

We still support aliases that combine few rights, but the rights have to belong
to the same array element, eg:

#define CAP_LOOKUP CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000000400ULL)
#define CAP_FCHMOD CAPRIGHT(0, 0x0000000000002000ULL)

#define CAP_FCHMODAT (CAP_FCHMOD | CAP_LOOKUP)

There is new API to manage the new cap_rights_t structure:

cap_rights_t *cap_rights_init(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
void cap_rights_clear(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);
bool cap_rights_is_set(const cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

bool cap_rights_is_valid(const cap_rights_t *rights);
void cap_rights_merge(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
void cap_rights_remove(cap_rights_t *dst, const cap_rights_t *src);
bool cap_rights_contains(const cap_rights_t *big, const cap_rights_t *little);

Capability rights to the cap_rights_init(), cap_rights_set(),
cap_rights_clear() and cap_rights_is_set() functions are provided by
separating them with commas, eg:

cap_rights_t rights;

cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_READ, CAP_WRITE, CAP_FSTAT);

There is no need to terminate the list of rights, as those functions are
actually macros that take care of the termination, eg:

#define cap_rights_set(rights, ...) \
__cap_rights_set((rights), __VA_ARGS__, 0ULL)
void __cap_rights_set(cap_rights_t *rights, ...);

Thanks to using one bit as an array index we can assert in those functions that
there are no two rights belonging to different array elements provided
together. For example this is illegal and will be detected, because CAP_LOOKUP
belongs to element 0 and CAP_PDKILL to element 1:

cap_rights_init(&rights, CAP_LOOKUP | CAP_PDKILL);

Providing several rights that belongs to the same array's element this way is
correct, but is not advised. It should only be used for aliases definition.

This commit also breaks compatibility with some existing Capsicum system calls,
but I see no other way to do that. This should be fine as Capsicum is still
experimental and this change is not going to 9.x.
