problems when fetch(1) was passed `-o -'. The rationale of this change

Adapt fdesc to be mounted on /dev/fd and remove fd, stdin, stdout and
stderr nodes. More specific items of this patch:
o Removed support for symbolic links, and the need for
fdesc_readlink().
o Put all the code from fdesc_attr() into fdesc_getattr() and removed
fdesc_attr(). This also made it easier to properly give all nodes
unique inode numbers.
o The removal of all non-fd nodes allowed the removal of the fdesc_read(),
fdesc_write(), and fdesc_ioctl() nodes, since we no longer have nodes
that get special handling.
o Correct the component name validity-checking in fdesc_lookup(). It
previously detected the end of the string by checking for a terminating
NUL, now it uses cnp->cn_namelen.
o Handle kqueue files as FIFOs. This is probably the closest file type
to represent this type of file there is, and it is unfortunately not
very representative of a kqueue. Creation time is not supported by
kqueue, so ctime, mtime and atime are all set to the current time when
getattr() was called.
o Also set st_[mca]time to the current time since there's no data in
socket structures that can be used to fill this in (FIFOs).
o Simplify fdesc_readdir() since it only has to report the numbered
fd nodes. Add `.' and `..' directory links as well.
o Remove read bits from directories as they tend to confuse programs
like tar(1).

Introduced a type `vop_t' for vnode operation functions and used
it 1138 times (:-() in casts and a few more times in declarations.
This change is null for the i386.

The type has to be `typedef int vop_t(void *)' and not `typedef
int vop_t()' because `gcc -Wstrict-prototypes' warns about the
latter. Since vnode op functions are called with args of different
(struct pointer) types, neither of these function types is any use
for type checking of the arg, so it would be preferable not to use
the complete function type, especially since using the complete
type requires adding 1138 casts to avoid compiler warnings and
another 40+ casts to reverse the function pointer conversions before
calling the functions.

Remove the thread argument from the FSD (File-System Dependent) parts of
the VFS. Now all the VFS_* functions and relating parts don't want the
context as long as it always refers to curthread.

In some points, in particular when dealing with VOPs and functions living
in the same namespace (eg. vflush) which still need to be converted,
pass curthread explicitly in order to retain the old behaviour.
Such loose ends will be fixed ASAP.

While here fix a bug: now, UFS_EXTATTR can be compiled alone without the
UFS_EXTATTR_AUTOSTART option.

VFS KPI is heavilly changed by this commit so thirdy parts modules needs
to be recompiled. Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to signal such
situation.

- Add locking to all filesystem operations in fdescfs and flag it as MPSAFE.
- Use proper synhronization primitives to protect the internal fdesc node cache
used in fdescfs.
- Properly initialize and uninitalize hash.
- Remove unused functions.

Since fdescfs might recurse on itself, adding proper locking to it needed some
tricky workarounds in some parts to make it work. For instance, a descriptor in
fdescfs could refer to an open descriptor to itself, thus forcing the thread to
recurse on vnode locks. Because of this, other race conditions also had to be
fixed.
