Don't let cpu_set_syscall_retval() clobber exec_setregs().

Upon successful completion, the execve() system call invokes
exec_setregs() to initialize the registers of the initial thread of the
newly executed process. What is weird is that when execve() returns, it
still goes through the normal system call return path, clobbering the
registers with the system call's return value (td->td_retval).

Though this doesn't seem to be problematic for x86 most of the times (as
the value of eax/rax doesn't matter upon startup), this can be pretty
frustrating for architectures where function argument and return
registers overlap (e.g., ARM). On these systems, exec_setregs() also
needs to initialize td_retval.

Even worse are architectures where cpu_set_syscall_retval() sets
registers to values not derived from td_retval. On these architectures,
there is no way cpu_set_syscall_retval() can set registers to the way it
wants them to be upon the start of execution.

To get rid of this madness, let sys_execve() return EJUSTRETURN. This
will cause cpu_set_syscall_retval() to leave registers intact. This
makes process execution easier to understand. It also eliminates the
difference between execution of the initial process and successive ones.
The initial call to sys_execve() is not performed through a system call
context.

sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.

The kernel sends signals to the processes via ABI specific sv_sendsig method.
Native ABI do not need signal conversion, only emulators may want this. Usually
emulators implements its own sv_sendsig method. For now only ibcs2 emulator does
not have own sv_sendsig implementation and depends on native sendsig() method.
So, remove any extra attempts to convert signal numbers from native sendsig()
methods except from i386 where ibsc2 is living.

Do not qualify the mcontext_t *mcp argument for set_mcontext(9) as
const. On x86, even after the machine context is supposedly read into
the struct ucontext, lazy FPU state save code might only mark the FPU
data as hardware-owned. Later, set_fpcontext() needs to fetch the
state from hardware, modifying the *mcp.

The set_mcontext(9) is called from sigreturn(2) and setcontext(2)
implementations and old create_thread(2) interface, which throw the
*mcp out after the set_mcontext() call.
