Change our ELF binary branding to something more acceptable to the Binutils
maintainers.

After we established our branding method of writing upto 8 characters of
the OS name into the ELF header in the padding; the Binutils maintainers
and/or SCO (as USL) decided that instead the ELF header should grow two new
fields -- EI_OSABI and EI_ABIVERSION. Each of these are an 8-bit unsigned
integer. SCO has assigned official values for the EI_OSABI field. In
addition to this, the Binutils maintainers and NetBSD decided that a better
ELF branding method was to include ABI information in a ".note" ELF
section.

With this set of changes, we will now create ELF binaries branded using
both "official" methods. Due to the complexity of adding a section to a
binary, binaries branded with ``brandelf'' will only brand using the
EI_OSABI method. Also due to the complexity of pulling a section out of an
ELF file vs. poking around in the ELF header, our image activator only
looks at the EI_OSABI header field.

Note that a new kernel can still properly load old binaries except for
Linux static binaries branded in our old method.

*
* For a short period of time, ``ld'' will also brand ELF binaries
* using our old method. This is so people can still use kernel.old
* with a new world. This support will be removed before 5.0-RELEASE,
* and may not last anywhere upto the actual release. My expiration
* time for this is about 6mo.
*

Make brandelf explain itself a little better on error.
Also, at Boris' suggestion, add -l option to list known
ELF types.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The $Id$ line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

.\" $Id$
.\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

.Sh AUTHOR -> .Sh AUTHORS. Use .An/.Aq.

Use the .Tn macro for a couple of generic FreeBSD references.
This has the desired side-effect of preventing a bad hyphenation

Add a manpage for brandelf(1). Minor stylistic fixes, and a buffer
overrun fix, too.
