MFC r325834,r325997,326502: Move sys/boot to stand/
This is effectively a direct commit to stable/11, due to differences between
stable/11 and head. Changes to DTS in sys/boot/fdt/dts were often
accompanied by kernel changes. Many of these were also risc-v updates that
likely had many more dependencies to MFC.
Because of this, sys/boot/fdt/dts remains as-is while everything else in
sys/boot relocates to stand/.
r325834: Move sys/boot to stand. Fix all references to new location
r325997: Remove empty directories.
r326502: Document the sys/boot -> stand move in hier.7 and the top-level README.

Because ZFS boot code was very fragile in the past and real PITA to debug,
introduce zfsboottest.sh script that will verify if it will be possible to boot
from the given pool.
# zfsboottest.sh system
Where "system" is pool name of the pool we want to boot from.
What is being verified by the script:
- Does the pool exist?
- Does it have bootfs property configured?
- Is mountpoint property of the boot dataset set to 'legacy'?
Dataset configured in bootfs property has to be mounted to perform more
checks:
- Does the /boot directory in boot dataset exist?
- Is this dataset configured as root file system in /etc/fstab or set
in vfs.root.mountfrom variable in /boot/loader.conf?
By using zfsboottest tool the script will read all the files in /boot
directory using ZFS boot code and calculate their checksums.
Then, it will walk /boot directory using find(1) though regular file sytem
and also read all the files in /boot directory and calculate their checksums.
If any of the files cannot be looked up, read or checksum is invalid it will
be reported and booting off of this pool is probably not possible.
Some additional checks may be interesting as well. For example if the disks
contain proper pmbr and gptzfsboot code or if all expected files in /boot/
are present.
When upgrading FreeBSD, one should snapshot datasets that contain operating
system, upgrade (install new world and kernel) and use zfsboottest.sh to verify
if it will be possible to boot from new configuration. If all is good one
should upgrade boot blocks, by eg.:
# gpart -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptzfsboot -i 1 ada1
If something is wrong, one should rollback datasets and report the problems.

- Allow to specify multiple files to check, eg.
zfsboottest gpt/system0 gpt/system1 - /boot/kernel/kernel /boot/zfsloader
- Instead of printing file's content calculate MD5 hash of the file,
so it can be easly compared to the hash calculated via file system.
- Some other minor improvements.
