linux(4): Uniformly dev_t arguments translation

The two main uses of dev_t are in struct stat and as a parameter of the
mknod system calls.
As of version 2.6.0 of the Linux kernel, dev_t is a 32-bit quantity
with 12 bits set asaid for the major number and 20 for the minor number.
The in-kernel dev_t encoded as MMMmmmmm, where M is a hex digit of the
major number and m is a hex digit of the minor number.
The user-space dev_t encoded as mmmM MMmm, where M and m is the major
and minor numbers accordingly. This is downward compatible with legacy
systems where dev_t is 16 bits wide, encoded as MMmm.
In glibc dev_t is a 64-bit quantity, with 32-bit major and minor numbers,
encoded as MMMM Mmmm mmmM MMmm. This is downward compatible with the Linux
kernel and with legacy systems where dev_t is 16 bits wide.
In the FreeBSD dev_t is a 64-bit quantity. The major and minor numbers
are encoded as MMMmmmMm, therefore conversion of the device numbers between
Linux user-space and FreeBSD kernel required.

linux(4): Move use_real_names knob to the linux.c

MI linux.[c|h] are the module independent in terms of the Linux emulation
layer (ie, intended for both ISA - 32 & 64 bit), analogue of MD linux.h.
There must be a code here that cannot be placed into the corresponding by
common sense MI source and header files, i.e., code is machine independent,
but ISA dependent.
For the use_real_names knob, the code must be placed into the
linux_socket.[c|h], however linux_socket is ISA dependent.

linuxolator: add netlink support

Add the glue code to support netlink in Linuxolator.
linux_common(4) now depends on netlink(4).

All netlink protocol constants are consistent with the Linux version.
However, certain OS-specific constants such as AF_INET6, interface
flags or default routing table id, are different between FreeBSD and
Linux. Thus, it may be needed to rewrite some message parts or even
rewrite the whole message, adding or removing some TLVs. The core
netlink implementation code provides efficient rewriting callbacks
which Linuxolator now uses.

linux(4): Fix the type of a constant in the signal mask macro

Since l_sigset_t is 64-bit unsigned on all Linuxulators, fix the type
of a constant in the signal mask manipulation macro.
The suffix L indicates type long which is 32-bit on i386, therefore,
bitwise operations between a 32-bit constant and 64-bit signal mask
lead to the wrong result.

linux(4): Rework Linux ppoll system call.

For now the Linux emulation layer uses in kernel ppoll(2) without
conversion of user supplied fd 'events', and does not convert the
kernel supplied fd 'revents'.

At least POLLRDHUP is handled by FreeBSD differently than by
Linux. Seems that Linux silencly ignores POLLRDHUP on non socket fd's
unlike FreeBSD, which does more strictly check and fails.

Rework the Linux ppoll, using kern_poll and converting 'events'
and 'revents' values.
While here, move poll events defines to the MI part of code as they
mostly identical on all arches except arm.

linux(4): Improve netlink diagnostics

Add some missing netlink_family definitions and produce vaguely
human-readable error messages for those definitions, like we used to do for
just ROUTE and KOBJECT_UEVENTS.

Additionally, if we know it's a netfilter socket but didn't find it in the
table, fall back to printing that instead of the generic handler ("socket
domain 16, ...").

No change to the emulator correctness, just mildly improved diagnostics for
gaps.

linuxolator: implement memfd_create syscall

This effectively mirrors our libc implementation, but with minor fudging --
name needs to be copied in from userspace, so we just copy it straight into
stack-allocated memfd_name into the correct position rather than allocating
memory that needs to be cleaned up.

The sealing-related fcntl(2) commands, F_GET_SEALS and F_ADD_SEALS, have
also been implemented now that we support them.

Note that this implementation is still not quite at feature parity w.r.t.
the actual Linux version; some caveats, from my foggy memory:

- Need to implement SHM_GROW_ON_WRITE, default for memfd (in progress)
- LTP wants the memfd name exposed to fdescfs
- Linux allows open() of an fdescfs fd with O_TRUNC to truncate after dup.
(?)

Interested parties can install and run LTP from ports (devel/linux-ltp) to
confirm any fixes.

Our bsd_to_linux_sockaddr() and linux_to_bsd_sockaddr() functions
alter the userspace sockaddr to convert the format between linux and BSD versions.
That's the minimum 3 of copyin/copyout operations for one syscall.

Also some syscall uses linux_sa_put() and linux_getsockaddr() when load
sockaddr to userspace or from userspace accordingly.

To avoid this chaos, especially converting sockaddr in the userspace,
rewrite these 4 functions to convert sockaddr only in kernel and leave
only 2 of this functions.

Also in order to reduce duplication between MD parts of the Linuxulator put
struct sockaddr conversion functions that are MI out into linux_common module.
