sys: make the kernel metadata pointer global

The way we got the kernel metadata pointer was by calling
preload_search_by_type with one of the following three: "elf kernel",
"elf32 kernel" and "elf64 kernel". Which one(s) we used wasn't
consistent though. Sometimes we would only try "elf kernel", and other
times we would try one of the latter two if the first failed. However,
the loader only ever sets "elf kernel" as the kernel type.

Now, the kmdp is a global, preload_kmdp, and it's initialized using
preload_initkmdp in machdep.c (or machdep_boot.c on arm/64).
preload_initkmdp takes a single boolean argument that tells us whether
not finding the kmdp is fatal or not.

Add a routine to dump boot metadata

The boot metadata (also referred to as modinfo, or preload metadata)
provides information about the size and location of the kernel,
pre-loaded modules, and other metadata (e.g. the EFI framebuffer) to be
consumed during by the kernel during early boot. It is encoded as a
series of type-length-value entries and is usually constructed by
loader(8) and passed to the kernel. It is also faked on some
architectures when booted by other means.

Although much of the module information is available via kldstat(8),
there is no easy way to debug the metadata in its entirety. Add some
routines to parse this data and allow it to be printed to the console
during early boot or output via a sysctl.

Since the output can be lengthly, printing to the console is gated
behind the debug.dump_modinfo_at_boot kenv variable as well as the
BOOTVERBOSE flag. The sysctl to print the metadata is named
debug.dump_modinfo.

Have preload_delete_name() free pages backing preloaded data.

On i386 and amd64, add a vm_phys segment for physical memory used to
store the kernel binary and other preloaded data. This makes it
possible to free such memory back to the system once it is no longer
needed, e.g., when a preloaded kernel module is unloaded. Previously,
it would have remained unused.

sys/kern: adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

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.
