The primary reason for the import is a likely GPL taint of the
original MINIX3 syslogd. As a result, this import may still
have some rough edges.

This patch adds support for Unix98 pseudo terminals, that is,
posix_openpt(3), grantpt(3), unlockpt(3), /dev/ptmx, and /dev/pts/.
The latter is implemented with a new pseudo file system, PTYFS.
In effect, this patch adds secure support for unprivileged pseudo
terminal allocation, allowing programs such as tmux(1) to be used by
non-root users as well. Test77 has been extended with new tests, and
no longer needs to run as root.
The new functionality is optional. To revert to the old behavior,
remove the "ptyfs" entry from /etc/fstab.
Technical nodes:
o The reason for not implementing the NetBSD /dev/ptm approach is that
implementing the corresponding ioctl (TIOCPTMGET) would require
adding a number of extremely hairy exceptions to VFS, including the
PTY driver having to create new file descriptors for its own device
nodes.
o PTYFS is required for Unix98 PTYs in order to avoid that the PTY
driver has to be aware of old-style PTY naming schemes and even has
to call chmod(2) on a disk-backed file system. PTY cannot be its
own PTYFS since a character driver may currently not also be a file
system. However, PTYFS may be subsumed into a DEVFS in the future.
o The Unix98 PTY behavior differs somewhat from NetBSD's, in that
slave nodes are created on ptyfs only upon the first call to
grantpt(3). This approach obviates the need to revoke access as
part of the grantpt(3) call.
o Shutting down PTY may leave slave nodes on PTYFS, but once PTY is
restarted, these leftover slave nodes will be removed before they
create a security risk. Unmounting PTYFS will make existing PTY
slaves permanently unavailable, and absence of PTYFS will block
allocation of new Unix98 PTYs until PTYFS is (re)mounted.

__STDC__ is used to mitigate the differences between K&R C and the
ANSI C standard. Nearly every compiler now supports ANSI C, so
there is no need to support non-standard compilers.

* Remove undef NULL, EOF, getchar, putchar
* Rename putchar, getchar, _putchar, _getchar to putch, getch, _putch,
_getch to avoid conflict with libc functions.
* Rename UP() to UP1() (for UP 1 line) to avoid conflict with UP
definition in termcap.h. Rename DN1 LF1 RT1 for consistency.
* Add termcap.h for prototypes for tputs and friends.
* Add libterminfo references to Makefile
* Add return value to _putch() to make it work as tputs expects.
* Make putch() call _putch()
* Remove UNIX ifdefs and all code in the !UNIX branches.

Removes the following man pages:
* awk.1x -- for a version of awk we no longer have
* kermit.1x -- seems gone altogether
* macros.1x -- not useful for anyone anymore
Moves the following man pages:
* mined.1x -- Moved to minix/commands/mined/mined.1
and reformatted to use the mdoc macros instead of the
Minix macros so that it displays properly.
Removes /usr/man/man1x from the directory tree.

The escape sequences for the function keys used to be separated
out in older versions of Minix when they were different for m68k
and intel. Support for m68k was dropped and that code was
removed, leaving the ifdef i386. Since the sequences are the
same for i386 and arm, there is no need to keep the ifdef i386.

The jump-to-start hack is not resetting global variables, resulting in
a crash after several such restarts cause an overflow in the network
table. This patch fixes that particular issue, but more similar
issues (in particular memory leaks) are bound to come up. As such this
is a stopgap measure until we can get rid of the old dhcpd altogether.
This resolves the additional issue reported in #2.

- synchronize request type with ioctl by making it unsigned long;
- unbreak VFS requests, as they were being sent to PM;
- use proper ioctl direction flags (and new numbers) for requests;
- remove some needless header inclusions;
- svrctl is in libc, make its message name reflect this;
- keep backward compatibility: svrctl is part of the userland ABI.

/etc/profile enables by default tabcompletion, as well as emacs mode,
in order to keep the old MINIX ash behavior.
Note: The shell now refuses to source a script without a relative or
absolute path.
This means:
- '. myscript.sh' fails, while
- '. ./myscript.sh' succeeds
