arm64 lib32: prepare arm64 headers to redirect to arm

In order to compile lib32 libraries and other 32-bit code on arm64,
<machine/foo.h> needs to be redirected to an arm header rather
than arm64 when building with -m32. Ifdef the arm64 headers that
are installed in /usr/include/machine and used by user-level software
(including references from /usr/include/*.h) so that if __arm__ is
defined when including the arm64 version, <arm/foo.h> is included
rather than using the rest of the file's contents. Some arm headers
had no arm64 equivalent; headers were added just to do the redirection.
These files use #error if __arm__ is not defined to guard against
confusion. Also add an include/arm Makefile, and modify Makefiles
as needed to install everything, including the arm files in
/usr/include/arm. fenv.h comes from lib/msun/arm/fenv.h.

The new arm64 headers are:
acle-compat.h
cpuinfo.h
sysreg.h

Add rudimentary support for building FreeBSD/arm64 with COMPAT_FREEBSD32.

Right now I'm using two Raspberry Pi's (2 and 3) to test CloudABI
support for armv6, armv7 and aarch64. It would be nice if I could
restrict this to just a single instance when testing smaller changes.
This is why I'd like to get COMPAT_CLOUDABI32 to work on arm64.

As COMPAT_CLOUDABI32 depends on COMPAT_FREEBSD32, at least for the ELF
loading, this change adds all of the bits necessary to at least build a
kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD32. All of the machine dependent system calls
are still stubbed out, for the reason that implementations for these are
only useful if actual support for running FreeBSD binaries is added.
This is outside the scope of this work.

Implement userspace gettimeofday(2) with HPET timecounter.

Right now, userspace (fast) gettimeofday(2) on x86 only works for
RDTSC. For older machines, like Core2, where RDTSC is not C2/C3
invariant, and which fall to HPET hardware, this means that the call
has both the penalty of the syscall and of the uncached hw behind the
QPI or PCIe connection to the sought bridge. Nothing can me done
against the access latency, but the syscall overhead can be removed.
System already provides mappable /dev/hpetX devices, which gives
straight access to the HPET registers page.

Add yet another algorithm to the x86 'vdso' timehands. Libc is updated
to handle both RDTSC and HPET. For HPET, the index of the hpet device
to mmap is passed from kernel to userspace, index might be changed and
libc invalidates its mapping as needed.

Remove cpu_fill_vdso_timehands() KPI, instead require that
timecounters which can be used from userspace, to provide
tc_fill_vdso_timehands{,32}() methods. Merge i386 and amd64
libc/<arch>/sys/__vdso_gettc.c into one source file in the new
libc/x86/sys location. __vdso_gettc() internal interface is changed
to move timecounter algorithm detection into the MD code.

Measurements show that RDTSC even with the syscall overhead is faster
than userspace HPET access. But still, userspace HPET is three-four
times faster than syscall HPET on several Core2 and SandyBridge
machines.

# 4d22d07a 06-Dec-2015 Konstantin Belousov <kib@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for usermode (vdso-like) gettimeofday(2) and
clock_gettime(2) on ARMv7 and ARMv8 systems which have architectural
generic timer hardware. It is similar how the RDTSC timer is used in
userspace on x86.

Fix a permission problem where generic timer access from EL0 (or
userspace on v7) was not properly initialized on APs.

For ARMv7, mark the stack non-executable. The shared page is added for
all arms (including ARMv8 64bit), and the signal trampoline code is
moved to the page.

Add the start of the arm64 machine headers. This is the subset needed to
start getting userland libraries building.
