Remove support for booting off of firewire, and for having dcons via
firewire in the loader. Kernel support for these things is unchanged.
Discussed on arch@ and the current state is not working (and the build
was wrong to boot).

buildworld already runs the stand build in parallel[1], so make it easier to
identify ordering issues by properly establishing dependencies or adding
.WAIT where needed.
Everything in stand/ relies on libsa, either directly or indirectly, because
libsa build is where the stand headers get installed and it gets linked in
most places.
Interpreters depend on their libs, machine dirs usually depend on top-level
libs that are getting built and at least one of the interpreter flavors.
For i386, order btx/libi386/libfirewire before everything else using a
big-ol-.WAIT hammer. btx is the most common dependency, but the others are
used sporadically. This seems to be where the race reporting on the mailing
list is- AFAICT, the following sequence is happening:
1.) One of the loaders gets built based on stale btx/btxldr
2.) btx/btxldr gets rebuilt
3.) installworld triggers loader rebuild because btx was rebuilt after
This seems like the most plausible explanation, as they've verified system
time and timestamps.
While we're here, let's switch stand/ over to a completely parallel build so
we can work out these kinds of issues in isolation rather than in the middle
of a larger build.

Create loader_{4th,lua,simp}{,.efi}. All of these are installed by
default. Create LOADER_DEFAULT_INTERP to specify the default
interpreter when no other is specified. LOADER_INTERP is the current
interpreter language building. Turn building of lua on by default to
match 4th. simploader is a simplified loader build w/o any interpreter
language (but with a simple loader). This is the historic behavir you
got with WITHOUT_FORTH. Make a hard link to the default loader. This
has to be a hard link rather than the more desirable soft link because
older zfsboot blocks don't support symlinks.

We no longer really need a separate zfsloader. It was useful when we
were first supporting ZFS and had limited ability to properly boot off
of ZFS without the special boot loader. Now that the boot loader has
matured, go the way loader.efi pioneered and just build one
binary. Change the name of the loader to load in the secondary boot
blocks to be just /boot/loader. Provide a symbolic link from zfsloader
to loader so people who have not upgraded their boot blocks are not
affected. This has the happy benefit of making coexistence easier as
well (fewer binaries in the matrix).

This is part of a project for adding the ability to create hybrid CD/USB boot
images. In the BIOS case when booting from something that isn't a CD we need
some extra boot code to actually find our next stage (loader) within an
ISO9660 filesystem. This code will reside in a GPT partition (similar to
gptboot(8) from which it is derived) and looks for /boot/loader in an
ISO9660 filesystem on the image.

One does not simply convert to SUBDIR.yes in stand without making everything
else in the affected files SUBDIR.yes -- there are better ways to do this.
Use SUBDIR.${MK_*} where appropriate. r330248 eliminated most of the
offenders, sweep the rest under the rug.

For directories that don't many anything, add NO_OBJ=t just before we
include bsd.init.mk. This prevents them from creating an OBJ
directory. In addition, prevent defs.mk from creating the machine
related links in these cases. They aren't needed and break, at least
on stable, the read-only src tree build.
