manu | Add support for USB-to-serial adapter in UEFI bootstrap.
This change lets UEFI bootstrap use any UEFI supported serial port.
com0 to com3 remain used for EISA based serial ports. com4 and over
are used for serial ports based on something else (USB, PCI or whatever).
Support for non-EISA serial ports may be provided by UEFI. An open
source UEFI driver exists for FTDI FT232R USB-to-serial adapter.
The change also introduce the kconsdev command, to select the kernel
console device without altering the bootstrap console device. This
useful because the device names can differ in bootstrap and kernel.
For instance an USB-to-serial device could be com4 in boostrap and
ucom0 for the kernel.
An upcoming change will add console suport to ucom(4).

manu | Add reloc keyworkd to let EFI bootstrap load amd64 kernel at any address
EFI bootstrap assumes it can copy the amd64 kernel to its ELF load
address (that is KERNTEXTOFF - KERNBASE = 0x200000), but it can
clash with previous UEFI memory allocation, as described here:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/tech-kern/2023/04/07/msg028833.html
This change adds a reloc keyword for controling where the EFI
boostrap will copy the kernel image. Possible values are:
default - the default and prior behavior, copy at 0x200000.
none - do not copy and use the kernel image where it was loaded.
address - specify an explicit address where to copy the kernel.
This comes with an amd64 kernel patch that makes it self-relocatable.
It first discover where it was loaded in memory, and if this is
different than the expected 0x200000, hhe the kernel relocates
itself and start over at the right address.

Remove banner printing code from bootloaders, add it to libsa.
This harmonizes efiboot and the various x86 bootloaders to use shared
code for printing the banner. By friendly coincidence, it also adds
support for specifying 'banner=' in arm efiboot's boot.cfg, as on x86.

manu | Add multiboot 2 support to x86 bootloaders
multiboot 2 is required to boot Xen on an EFI system.
This also require a kernel patch for properly discovering
the ACPI RSDP, which is available after 20190912, in
src/sys/arch/x86/acpi/acpi_machdep.c 1.26-1.28
There are a few missing bit in this multiboot 2 implementation
(which are unused by Xen):
- Header tags Address, Freambuffer, and Relocatable are ignored
- Tags APM and Network are not provided
- Tags ACPI old and ACP new are only provided for ACPI boot
- Tag boot device does not provides the subpart (BSD disklabel partition)
Notes:
- multiboot2 is disabled in dosboot, otherwise the binary
gets too big and build fails.
- in src/sys/arch/i386/stand/efiboot, consinit() is renamed
as efi_consinit() to avoid prototype conflicts in src/sys/sys/systm.h

Merge x86 boot options in x86/boot(8) and add undocumented UEFI options
We were supposed to keep the option list in x86/boot(8), x86/dosoot(8)
and x86/pxeboot(8) in sync, but it did not happen, hence it may work
better with all the options in x86/boot(8). Also add the undocumented
UEFI boot options.
Add a SELFRELOC kernel option for the sake of documentation clarity.
Instead of telling that x86/boot(8) reloc command needs a kernel able
to self relocate, we can tell it needs a kernel built with the
SELFRELOC option. This keeps the reader from wondering what could
make a kernel able to self relocate.
Remove XXX todo marker left by mistake
Raise the version for new feature (here reloc command)

Merge x86 boot options in x86/boot(8) and add undocumented UEFI options
We were supposed to keep the option list in x86/boot(8), x86/dosoot(8)
and x86/pxeboot(8) in sync, but it did not happen, hence it may work
better with all the options in x86/boot(8). Also add the undocumented
UEFI boot options.
Add a SELFRELOC kernel option for the sake of documentation clarity.
Instead of telling that x86/boot(8) reloc command needs a kernel able
to self relocate, we can tell it needs a kernel built with the
SELFRELOC option. This keeps the reader from wondering what could
make a kernel able to self relocate.
Remove XXX todo marker left by mistake
