This patch performs an initial import of the infrastructure and a
subset of the NetBSD set of rc startup and shutdown scripts. The
"initial" refers to the fact that this is not yet a full switch to the
NetBSD rc system: the MINIX ramdisk rc script, which (typically) runs
as the first thing, is kept as is. After mounting the root file
system, the ramdisk rc script will start the NetBSD rc infrastructure
by invoking /etc/rc, however. The regular MINIX startup-and-shutdown
script has been moved from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.minix, and is now
invoked as part of the NetBSD rc infrastructure through a bridge rc
script /etc/rc.d/minixrc. /etc/rc.minix invokes /usr/etc/rc as before.
Switching over the ramdisk to the NetBSD system and decomposing the
MINIX rc.minix script into smaller components are left to future work.
Also, the current pkgsrc etc/rc.d auto-start functionality is left as
is, even though it should be removed (see the etc/usr/rc comment).

This rename is unfortunately necessary because NetBSD has decided to
create its own service(8) utility, and we will want to import theirs
as well. The two can obviously not coexist.
Also move ours from /bin to /sbin, as it is a superuser-only utility.

This change is a long overdue switch-over from the old MINIX set of
user and group accounts to the NetBSD set. This switch-over is
increasingly important now that we are importing more and more
utilities from NetBSD, several of which expect various user accounts
to exist. By switching over in one go, we save ourselves various
headaches in the long run, even if the switch-over itself is a bit
painful for existing MINIX users.
The newly imported master.passwd and group files have three exceptions
compared to their NetBSD originals:
1. There is a custom "service" account for MINIX 3 services. This
account is used to limit run-time privileges of various system
services, and is not used for any files on disk. Its user ID may
be changed later, but should always correspond to whatever the
SERVICE_UID definition is set to.
2. The user "bin" has its shell set to /bin/sh, instead of NetBSD's
/sbin/nologin. The reason for this is that the test set in
/usr/tests/minix-posix will not be able to run otherwise.
3. The group "operator" has been set to group ID 0, to match its old
value. This tweak is purely for transitioning purposes: as of
writing, pkgsrc packages are still using root:operator as owner and
group for most installed files. Sometime later, we can change back
"operator" to group ID 5 without breaking anything, because it does
not appear that this group name is used for anything important.

Scripts for generating boot-to-ramdisk images are now available. These
can be used for example to boot from PXE or from a USB stick, as the
ramdisk are self-contained and do not rely on any block devices after
being loaded into RAM.
The image generation framework has also been slightly cleaned up in
order to better accomodate tarball sets bundling in images.

The CD now boots directly from the ISO 9660 filesystem instead of using
MBR partitioning with Minix file systems. This saves some space on the
CD and reduces memory requirements by some unknown amount as the root
ramdisk is completely eliminated.
The x86 hard drive image creation is also rewritten in the same
fashion.
The setup is modified to be more NetBSD-like (unpacking sets
tarballs instead of blindly copying the CD contents). Splitting MINIX
into sets is done in another commit due to it being a nightmare to
rebase.
Since MINIX lacks union mounts for now, a bunch of ramdisks are
generated at run-time to make parts of the filesystem writeable for the
CD. This solution isn't ideal, but it's enough for an installation CD.

Trying to boot Minix3 master on an appliance/sbc like ALIX fails, as
the service command throws an error. Making the rc script more robust
solves it.

The NetBSD version is seriously broken--it is unable to match lines
against an empty pattern--and appears to be unmaintained.
The new version is the latest OpenBSD grep, with a number of MINIX-
specific changes marked as such, and an additional number of
(signed/unsigned, const) fixes to pass compilation.
Since this is not NetBSD code, move back the entire thing into
minix/usr.bin.

. the minix init started rc with the 'bootargs' variable.
this can now be cleanly passed to rc by executing sysenv
from the ramdisk rc script.

/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

Changes provoked by debugging / making 'PM: INIT died' error debuggable.
This was caused (in one instance) by a missing /dev/console (and everything
else) on the boot time ramdisk.
. sanity-check against this case by checking for console
. PM: print init stacktrace and exit status when init dies
. eliminate some explicitly invoked ${MAKE}s and a rm -rf in
Makefiles, causing race conditions; use explicit ordering (.WAIT)
instead, moving some of the burden of dependencies of partial builds
to the user. On the plus side, generate ramdisk just once.
. make mkfs.mfs fail as soon as it sees an error missing file in
the proto file. - except for EACCES on minix native for the mfs
test. also fix some fmt warnings.
. init: include debug info in executable

This is an attempt at simplifying the Makefile, by specifying the home
directory of every utility, instead of trying to guess depending on some
variable.
While this is a bit more verbose, this simplifies the logic. This also makes
it simpler to add / remove programs from the ramdisk.
