xdisk - Link into tree, add manual page

* Link the xdisk driver into the tree and add a quick manual page.
The xdisk driver uses libdmsg + the hammer2 service daemon to
implement remote block devices over a network.

The hammer2 service daemon is the lynchpin of the system, see
the section on setting up /etc/hammer2 in the hammer2 manual page
for more information.

* xdisk works like a dedicated block device, so is NOT like a NFS share.
At any given time, a particular block device should only be open for
writing by a single client. The driver needs some work w/regards to
maintaining open ref counts and such across the mini-cloud. Multiple
clients should not try to share the same block device.

That said, filesystem performance over xdisk block devices should be
very good. Since the filesystem is running on the client-side, system
buffer cache, read-ahead, and write buffering may be fully employed
and performance will generally be better than NFS.

* Note that libdmsg has been in the tree awhile but is still considered
highly experimental. It uses encrypted connections but the encryption
is not considered to be robust at this time. Authentication is implemented
via a combination of public/private key pairs and IP addresses.

The hammer2 manual page describes the directives that may be used to
create these keys.

kernel/isp: Unify firmware handling with the rest of the system.

* Convert firmware binary data from C arrays in a header files to
uuencode .uu files. Byte order of the firmware image is
little-endian. As far as DragonFly BSD supports only little-endian
architectures it's ok. But in case of a big-endian architecture the
byte order must be changed before firmware is processed by the isp
driver.

* Move the .uu images to a sys/contrib/dev/isp.

* Add a script for conversion of firmware stored in arrays in the C
header files to .uu files. This is for getting the firmware changes
from the other BSD systems more easily.

* Remove use of ispfw module that contains firmwares for all of the
isp.4 driver devices. User can pick a module for a particular device
instead of having firmwares for all of the devices loaded.

* Document that the kitchen sink ispfw.ko module with all firmware is
gone.

kernel - Remove old SCSI drivers - aic, aic7xxx, ahc, ahd

* Remove these drivers. They were pinnacles of their time, requiring
incredibly complex state machines for sequencing old-style SCSI busses.
CAM was created to support these babies. But alas, they became obsolete
many years ago.

* They were from the 32-bit ISA and PCI (not PCIe) PC era. DragonFlyBSD
doesn't even boot on those old machines any more, being 64-bit only.

* Also deals with some -j races in the aic sub-build.

mps(4): Sync with FreeBSD.

This a still in progress port of the new, LSI-supported version of the
mps(4) driver from FreeBSD.

Some of the changes are (from FreeBSD's commit msg):

- Integrated RAID (IR) support.
- Support for WarpDrive controllers.
- Support for SCSI protection information (EEDP).
- Support for TLR (Transport Level Retries), needed for tape drives.
- Improved error recovery code.
- ioctl interface compatible with LSI utilities.

This commit also moves the driver from sys/dev/disk to sys/dev/raid.

It still fails attaching at this stage. Work on it will continue in
master.

Also isp(4) can now be loaded as a module. The firmwares have been
separated into per-firmware modules, too.

It was tested with an old DEC KZPBA-CX (1040 based) SCSI adapter.
