arm: Improve the creation of kernel.bin

Instead of relinking the kernel without elf headers, replace them with
a binary blob of the same length starting with a jump to the kernel's start
address. This ensures that all symbols stay at the same offsets as in
the original kernel, so kernel.debug remains valid also for kernel.bin.

Also ensure that the awk script used runs with the neutral locale defined.
Awk 'write' is a locale compilant, and script is used to write binary data
to a file, so it needs to ensure that bytes > 127 are written unchanged.

While I'm on, set the neutral locale also for arm64, where the same script is
used to generate the kernel booti image.

arm: Introduce MK_KERNEL_BIN to control generation of kernel.bin

It's sometimes desirable to generate kernel.bin and install it. While
the mainstream has moved on to UEFI booting on arm, some specialized
gear can't support it. For that gear, we unconditionally generate
kernel.bin. Add a knob so that WITH_KERNEL_BIN or WITHOUT_KERNEL_BIN
control its generation and installation. config files should add
'makeoptions WITH_KERNEL_BIN=t' to enable it. Since its use is
specialized, it is off by default now since the arm world has largely
moved on to UEFI.

It only affects arm and arm64 (since those are the only two that support
it).

readelf is not a bootstrap tool and so cannot be relied upon to exist.
On macOS there is no system readelf, and even on Linux or FreeBSD where

Instead of making it a bootstrap tool, just use nm as that suffices and
already is a bootstrap tool.

Per-thread stack canary on arm64

With the update to llvm 13 we are able to tell the compiler it can find
the SSP canary relative to the register that holds the userspace stack
pointer. As this is unused in most of the kernel it can be used here
to point to a per-thread SSP canary.

As the kernel could be built with an old toolchain, e.g. when upgrading
from 13, add a warning that the options was enabled but the compiler
doesn't support it to both the build and kernel boot.

While here change the way to get the linux version, simply hardcode

to put it in the CFLAGS.
As a bonus we now have the bindings docs available
in sys/contrib/device-tree/Bindings/ so no need to link to the Linux repo

Eliminate the generated ldscript for arm and arm64, and strip $a/$d marker
symbols from the linked kernel.

The main thrust of this change is to generate a kernel that has the arm
"marker" symbols stripped. Marker symbols start with $a, $d, $t or $x, and
are emitted by the compiler to tell other toolchain components about the
locations of data embedded in the instruction stream (literal-pool
stuff). They are used for generating mixed-endian binaries (which we don't
support). The linked kernel has approximately 21,000 such symbols in it,
wasting space (500K in kernel.full, 190K in the final linked kernel), and
sometimes obscuring function names in stack tracebacks.

This change also simplifies the way the kernel is linked. Instead of using
sed to generate two different ldscript files to generate both an elf kernel
and a binary (elf headers stripped) kernel, we now use a single ldscript
that refers to a "text_start" symbol, and we provide the value for that
symbol using --defsym on the linker command line.
