Merge the projects/release-pkg branch to head.
This allows packaging the base system with pkg(8), including but not limited to providing the ability to provide upstream binary update possibilities for non-tier-1 architectures.
This merge is a requirement of the 11.0-RELEASE, and as such, thank you to everyone that has tested the project branch.
Documentation in build(7) etc. is still somewhat sparse, but updates to those parts will follow.

Remove fallback to fork(2) if pdfork(2) is not available. If the parent process dies, the process descriptor will be closed and pdfork(2)ed child will be killed, which is not the case when regular fork(2) is used.
The PROCDESC option is now part of the GENERIC kernel configuration, so we can start depending on it.
Add UPDATING entry to inform that this option is now required and log detailed instruction to syslog if pdfork(2) is not available:
The pdfork(2) system call is not available; recompile the kernel with options PROCDESC

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.

Let rwhod use libulog.
I am not planning on providing a mechanism tot stat() the database files directly. The disadvantage of this, is that rwhod will now be a little bit more heavy than it used to be. It normally used to fstat() the file descriptor to see whether the file had changed, but this is now impossible to implement, meaning we have to parse the entire utmp file each 180 seconds.
This is probably not an issue on modern 16-way servers, but if it turns out to be a problem, we'll think of something.

Ensure that received packets are at least as long as the rwho packet header before trying to process them. Without this sanity check, rwhod can attempt to byte-swap all of memory when a short packet is received, and so dies with a SIGBUS.
While I'm here, change two other syslog messages to be more informative: use dotted quad rather than hex notation for IP addresses, and include the source IP in the 'bad from port' message.

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.
