Retire non-NEW_PCIB code and remove config option

All architectures enable NEW_PCIB in DEFAULTS (arm being the most recent
to do so in 121be555997b (arm: Set NEW_PCIB in DEFAULTS rather than a
subset of kernel configs")), so it's time we removed the legacy code
that no longer sees much testing and has a significant maintenance
burden.

x86: move EARLY_AP_STARTUP into DEFAULTS

EARLY_AP_STARTUP was introduced in 2016 (commit fdce57a04219) with note:

As a transition aid, the new behavior is moved under a new
kernel option (EARLY_AP_STARTUP). This will allow the option
to be turned off if need be during initial testing. I hope to
enable this on x86 by default in a followup commit ...

It was enabled by default, but became effectively mandatory (on x86)
some time later. Move it to DEFAULTS to avoid an unbootable system if
the option is left out of a custom kernel configuration file.

netlink: add NETLINK to the DEFAULTS for each architecture

NETLINK is going to replace rtsock and a number of other ioctl/sysctl interfaces.
In-base utilies such as route(8), netstat(8) and soon ifconfig(8)
are being converted to use netlink sockets as a transport between
kernel and userland.
In the current configuration, it still possible have the kernel
without NETLINK (`nooptions NETLINK`) and use the aforementioned
utilies by buidling the world with `WITHOUT_NETLINK` src.conf knob.
However, this approach does not cover the cases when person unintentionally
builds a custom kernel without netlink and tries to use the standard userland.

This change adds `option NETLINK` to the default options for each
architecture, fixing the custom kernel issue.
For arm, this change uses `std.armv6` and `std.armv7` (netlink already in)
instead of DEFAULTS.

tcp: make CUBIC the default congestion control mechanism.

This changes the default TCP Congestion Control (CC) to CUBIC.
For small, transactional exchanges (e.g. web objects <15kB), this
will not have a material effect. However, for long duration data
transfers, CUBIC allocates a slightly higher fraction of the
available bandwidth, when competing against NewReno CC.

geom(4): Kill GEOM_PART_EBR_COMPAT option

Take advantage of Warner's nice new real GEOM aliasing system and use it for
aliased partition names that actually work.

Our canonical EBR partition name is the weird, not-default-on-x86-prior-to-
this-revision "da1p4+00001234." However, if compatibility mode (tunable
kern.geom.part.ebr.compat_aliases) is enabled (1, default), we continue to
provide the alias names like "da1p5" in addition to the weird canonical
names.

Naming partition providers was just one aspect of the COMPAT knob; in
addition it limited mutability, in part because it did not preserve existing
EBR header content aside from that of LBA 0. This change saves the EBR
header for LBA 0, as well as for every EBR partition encountered. That way,
when we write out the EBR partition table on modification, we can restore
any bootloader or other metadata in both LBA0 (the first data-containing EBR
may start after 0) as well as every logical EBR we read from the disk, and
only update the geometry metadata and linked list pointers that describe the
actual partitioning.

(This change does not add support for the 'bootcode' verb to EBR.)

For i386, remove config options CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG, CPU_DISABLE_SSE
and device npx.

This means that FPU is always initialized and handled when available,
and SSE+ register file and exception are handled when available. This
makes the kernel FPU code much easier to maintain by the cost of
slight bloat for CPUs older than 25 years.

CPU_DISABLE_CMPXCHG outlived its usefulness, see the removed comment
explaining the original purpose.

Remove support for Xen PV domU kernels. Support for HVM domU kernels
remains. Xen is planning to phase out support for PV upstream since it
is harder to maintain and has more overhead. Modern x86 CPUs include
virtualization extensions that support HVM guests instead of PV guests.
In addition, the PV code was i386 only and not as well maintained recently
as the HVM code.
- Remove the i386-only NATIVE option that was used to disable certain
components for PV kernels. These components are now standard as they
are on amd64.
- Remove !XENHVM bits from PV drivers.
- Remove various shims required for XEN (e.g. PT_UPDATES_FLUSH, LOAD_CR3,
etc.)
- Remove duplicate copy of <xen/features.h>.
- Remove unused, i386-only xenstored.h.
