Remove the filesystem tracing feature

This is a legacy interface from 4.4BSD, and it was
introduced to overcome shortcomings of ptrace(2) at that time, which are
no longer relevant (performance). Today /proc/#/ctl offers a narrow
subset of ptrace(2) commands and is not applicable for modern
applications use beyond simplistic tracing scenarios.

This removal will simplify kernel internals. Users will still be able to
use all the other /proc files.

This change won't affect other procfs files neither Linux compat
features within mount_procfs(8). /proc/#/ctl isn't available on Linux.

Remove:
- /proc/#/ctl from mount_procfs(8)
- P_FSTRACE note from the documentation of ps(1)
- /proc/#/ctl and filesystem tracing documentation from mount_procfs(8)
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL documentation from kauth(9)
- source code file miscfs/procfs/procfs_ctl.c
- PFSctl and procfs_doctl() from sys/miscfs/procfs/procfs.h
- KAUTH_REQ_PROCESS_PROCFS_CTL from sys/sys/kauth.h
- PSL_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/proc.h
- P_FSTRACE (0x00010000) from sys/sys/sysctl.h

Reduce code complexity after removal of this functionality.

Update TODO.ptrace accordingly: remove two entries about /proc tracing.

Do not keep legacy notes as comments in the headers about removed
PSL_FSTRACE / P_FSTRACE, as this interface had little number of users
(close or equal to zero).

Proposed on tech-kern@.

All filesystem tracing utility users are encouraged to switch to ptrace(2).

add an auxv node.

* Split sys/kern/sys_process.c into three parts:
1 - ptrace(2) syscall for native emulation
2 - common ptrace(2) syscall code (shared with compat_netbsd32)
3 - support routine

* Split sys/kern/sys_process.c into three parts:
1 - ptrace(2) syscall for native emulation
2 - common ptrace(2) syscall code (shared with compat_netbsd32)
3 - support routines that are shared with PROCFS and/or KTRACE

* Add module glue for #1 and #2. Both modules will be built-in to the
kernel if "options PTRACE" is included in the config file (this is
the default, defined in sys/conf/std).

* Mark the ptrace(2) syscall as modular in syscalls.master (generated
files will be committed shortly).

* Conditionalize all remaining portions of PTRACE code on a new kernel
option PTRACE_HOOKS.

XXX Instead of PROCFS depending on 'options PTRACE', we should probably
just add a procfs attribute to the sys/kern/sys_process.c file's
entry in files.kern, and add PROCFS to the "#if defineds" for
process_domem(). It's really confusing to have two different ways
of requiring this file.

Move code shared by procfs and the kernel proper out of procfs and
into the kernel proper (renaming functions from procfs_* to process_*).

Cleanup how file system configuration information is declared, grouping
related information together, with the file system code itself.

This is just low-hanging fruit -- more to come.
