Document EINTEGRITY errors for many system calls.

EINTEGRITY was previously documented as a UFS-specific error for
mount(2). This documents EINTEGRITY as a filesystem-independent error
that may be reported by the backing store of a filesystem.

While here, document EIO as a filesystem-independent error for both
mount(2) and posix_fadvise(2). EIO was previously only documented for
UFS for mount(2).

For 32-bit machines rollback the default number of vnode pager pbufs
back to the lever before r343030. For 64-bit machines reduce it slightly,
too. Together with r343030 I bumped the limit up to the value we use at
Netflix to serve 100 Gbit/s of sendfile traffic, and it probably isn't a
good default.

Provide a loader tunable to change vnode pager pbufs count. Document it.

New sendfile(2) syscall. A joint effort of NGINX and Netflix from 2013 and
up to now.

The new sendfile is the code that Netflix uses to send their multiple tens
of gigabits of data per second. The new implementation features asynchronous
I/O, when I/O operations are launched, but not awaited to be complete. An
explanation of why such behavior is beneficial compared to old one is
going to be too long for a commit message, so we will skip it here.

Additional features of new syscall are extra flags, which provide an
application more control over data sent. The SF_NOCACHE flag tells
kernel that data shouldn't be cached after it was sent. The SF_READAHEAD()
macro allows to specify readahead size in pages.

The new syscalls is a drop in replacement. No modifications are required
to applications. One can take nginx binary for stable/10 and run it
successfully on head. Although SF_NODISKIO lost its original sense, as now
sendfile doesn't block, and now means something completely different (tm),
using the new sendfile the old way is absolutely safe.
