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.

Attempt to determine the modes in which 8-bit wide characters are actually
9 wide.

I only need this to improve the mouse cursor, but it has always been
needed to select and/or adjust fonts.

This is complicated because there are no standard parameter tables
giving this bit of information directly, and the device register bit
giving the information can't be trusted even if it is read from the
hardware. Use a heuristic to guess if the device register can be
trusted. (The device register is normally read from the BIOS mode
table, but on my system where the device register is wrong, the mode
table doesn't match the hardware and is not used; the device registers
are used in this case.)

Reset the DAC to 6-bit mode before calling the BIOS to set the screen
mode. This works around bugs in at least 2 Intel BIOSes for our
subsequent setting of the DAC back to 8-bit mode. The bug caused dark
(mostly 1/4-intensity) colors for all except the first setting to a
VESA graphics mode (including for settings to the current mode).

Remove restoration (with less bits) of the palette in vesa_unload()
after resetting the DAC to 6-bit mode. Depend on the BIOS to keep
the palette consistent with the DAC for the simpler reset case like
we do everywhere else in places that are actually important.

Setting the video mode should reset everything to defaults, although
we usually don't want that. Even the buggy BIOSes set the DAC to the
default 6-bit mode, and set the palette to a default that matches the
DAC. We don't undo the reset for most things, but we do undo it for
the DAC (more precisely, we change to an 8-bit DAC if possible, and
this is the only way that we set to an 8-bit DAC; it is accidental
that if the DAC was in 8-bit mode from a previous mode switch then
setting it to 8-bit mode is an undo). The buggy BIOSes are confused
by our setting of the DAC to 8-bit mode in the "undo" case. They
should multiply palette entries by 4 to match, but they actually leave
all palette entries except #2 (green) and #248-255 (unused) untouched.
Green is mysteriously scaled from 0x2a to 0x6a, and #248-255 are scaled
correctly.

Our support for the 8-bit DAC had almost no effect except to enable
bugs. Syscons barely supports 16 colors, so it doesn't benefit much
from having a palette with 16 million colors instead of only 256K.
Applications can manage the palette using FBIO_{GET,SET}PALETTE, but
the palette managed by this is only used in the less interesting modes
(text and non-truecolor graphics modes up to 8 bits wide), and the
kernel loses the changes on any mode switch (including to another vt
in a different mode).

This is caused because vga_sub_configure (which is called if the VGA adapter
is attached after VESA tried to initialize), points to vesa_configure, which
doesn't initialize the VESA mutex. In order to fix it, make sure
vga_sub_configure points to vesa_load, so that all the needed vesa
components are properly initialized.

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
