zstd: Move to a new zstd package

Zstd is a discrete, self-contained system component. To match how we
package zlib, bzip2 and xz, move it to its own package, with a separate
lib package.

Add the new package to the minimal set, since this is a core component
that users expect to be installed.

This change adds a new package to the system so, until we have a proper
policy on how to handle this in release/stable branches, it should not
be MFC'd.

cam: Reduce overly long timeout values for initial device probing

Currently, we have very long timeouts for the initial probing
commands. However, these are not appropriate for modern (post 2010) SCSI
disks. Sandards since SPC3 state that these commands should not wait for
media access. Since we retry them several times during the initial bus
scan, these delays can delay the boot by minutes (5 minutes per errant
disk in our expereince). These delays don't help and only hurt, so
reduce the TESTUNITREADY, INQUIRY and MODESENSE commands (during the
initial probe). Provide sysctl/tuneables to change the time for these
and also the REPORTLUNS commands for people that might need to adjust
them for devices that violate this belief but none-the-less work with
longer timeouts.
kern.cam.tur_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s)
kern.cam.inquiry_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s)
kern.cam.reportluns_timeout (default is 60s)
kern.cam.modesense_timeout (default was 60s, now 1s)
This can be partially merged: the sysctls can, but the new defaults likely
shouldn't.

In 95c20faf11a1 and ecd8245e0d77 kib introduced support to have the
kernel linker stop resolving local symbols from other files, but did
not enable it by default to avoid surprises. Flip the default now,
before FreeBSD 16.0.

sysctls are available to revert to the previous behaviour if necessary.

libpam: Move to a new "pam" package

OpenPAM is a discrete, largely self-contained system component.
Users may not need PAM for many use-cases (e.g. jails, containers),
so move it to its own package.

Use LIB_PACKAGE to create a separate pam-lib package for libpam,
so that applications that support PAM don't need to bring in all
the PAM modules if PAM isn't actually in use.

Add pam to the minimal sets, since this is a core system component that
people expect to be installed. This means all supported installation
methods will install the PAM modules by default, so don't add explicit
dependencies on the PAM modules from things that use PAM (e.g. runtime),
allowing custom/embedded systems to omit these easily.

This change adds a new package to the system so, until we have a proper
policy on how to handle this in release/stable branches, it should not
be MFC'd.

flua is a standalone third-party component that deserves its own

This saves ~500kB in FreeBSD-utilities for systems which don't

Put the sound package in the optional set rather than minimal, since

(including nearly all servers) won't want it installed.

Add a pkg-triggers(5) hook to run makewhatis when new manpages are
installed, so that apropos(1) works. This depends on a new pkg(8)
feature expected to be in in the upcoming 2.3.2 release; in the mean
time, this is a no-op (i.e., having an older pkg doesn't break anything,
it just won't run the trigger).

packages: Remove the tests-dev package

We don't want a tests-dev package, because this means set-devel depends
on tests-dev, which transitively depends on tests, which means you can't
install set-devel without also getting tests.

The only real "dev" files in tests-dev are from ATF (libprivateatf),
so move that to its own package and add a dependency from tests.

Also move Kyua to its own package, since this might be useful for
running tests even when the user doesn't want the whole set of base
tests installed.

Add a dependency from -tests to both -atf and -kyua, and a dependency
on -set-base, since the tests won't work without the full base system
installed.

The remaining "dev" files in tests are actually test artifacts, not real
development libraries. Add a new NO_DEV_PACKAGE option to bsd.lib.mk,
which causes dev files to be installed in the base package instead of
creating a -dev package, and set this option for everything that
installs test libraries.

While here, add a slightly more informative description for the tests
package.
