Various entropy integration improvements.

- New /etc/security check for entropy in daily security report.

- New /etc/rc.d/entropy script runs (after random_seed and rndctl) to
check for entropy at boot -- in rc.conf, you can:

. set `entropy=check' to halt multiuser boot and enter single-user
mode if not enough entropy

. set `entropy=wait' to make multiuser boot wait until enough entropy

Default is to always boot without waiting -- and rely on other
channels like security report to alert the operator if there's a
problem.

- New man page entropy(7) discussing the higher-level concepts and
system integration with cross-references.

- New paragraph in afterboot(8) about entropy citing entropy(7) for
more details.

This change addresses many of the issues discussed in security/55659.
This is a first draft; happy to take improvements to the man pages and
scripted messages to improve clarity.

I considered changing motd to include an entropy warning with a
reference to the entropy(7) man page, but it's a little trickier:
- Not sure it's appropriate for all users to see at login rather than
users who have power to affect the entropy estimate (maybe it is,
just haven't decided).
- We only have a mechanism for changing once at boot; the message would
remain until next boot even if an operator adds enough entropy.
- The mechanism isn't really conducive to making a message appear
conditionally from boot to boot.

# 1.34 26-Feb-2020 riastradh

Draft man pages for the standard users and groups.

These are currently listed in order of uid because I went through
src/etc/group and src/etc/master.passwd line by line, and sorting any
other way after the fact -- like lexicographically, how it should be
-- was kinda inconvenient.

Feel free to sort, add information, add historical references,
correct any mistakes, &c., so that these remain living documents
describing NetBSD's standard users and groups and practices around
them.

Remove tests.7 in objdir before copying to it.

If one's source tree has non-writable files (because of CVSREAD=t, or
someone else owns it, or it's on some read-only filesystems, some
other reason), recently-added makefile code would cp tests.foo.7 in
the sources to tests.7 in objdir, preserving permissions, but not
forcing the copy. A subsequent copy would result in an error, failing
the build. Therefore, rm -f the target file before doing the copy.

(Arguably there should some standard support for this, but copying
files from the source directory to objdir is quite unusual.)

# 1.29 25-Feb-2013 jmmv

Provide Kyua instructions in tests(7) when MKKYUA!=no.

I was first going to do this by doing automatic replacements of special
macros within the tests.7 file, but that turned out to be too complex
and confusing.

Instead, just rename the previous tests.7 to tests.atf.7 and add a new
tests.kyua.7 file. Choose which one to install as tests(7) depending on
the MKKYUA knob.

# 1.21 02-Mar-2007 wiz

Add simple pkgsrc(7) man page linking to pkg_add, pkg_delete, pkg_info
and the pkgsrc guide. Requested by Alan Barrett.


# 1.20 02-Mar-2007 wiz

packages(7) has (finally!) completely been integrated in the pkgsrc guide,
remove it.


# 1.19 04-Dec-2006 pavel

Move the description of sysctl MIBs from sysctl.3 to a new manual page
sysctl.7. Remove the list of MIBs from sysctl.8 so we don't have to
maintain duplicate information, as proposed by YAMAMOTO Takashi on
tech-userlevel. Also remove references to header files from sysctl.8.

The numeric constants remain documented, they are still needed in some
cases. See the discussion on tech-userlevel. ("mib list in sysctl.8")

OK by YAMAMOTO Takashi.
