The Makefile rule to create vers.c for loader version info was previously duplicated in each of the various loader Makefiles. Instead, share a common rule in Makefile.inc.

Instead of repeating "%s, Revision %s" "(%s %s)" in each loader, just create the full version string in vers.c Reviewed by: bapt MFC after: 1 month Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D8823
Add a new 'netproto' variable which can be set for now to NET_TFTP or NET_NFS (default to NET_NONE) From the dhcp options if one sets the root-path option to: "ip:path", the loader will consider it is booting over NFS (meaning same behaviour as the default current behaviour) if the dhcp option "tftp server address" is set (option 150) the loader will consider it is booting over tftpfs, it will then consider the root-path options with 2 possible case 1. "path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed by the option 150, and the files will be retrieved under "path" on the tftp server 2. "ip:path" then the IP of the tftp server will be the one passed in the option "overwritting the IP from the option 150. We could not "abuse" the rootpath option in the form or tftp://ip:path because this is already used for other purpose by iPXE preventing any chainload from iPXE to the FreeBSD loader. Given at each open(), the loader loops over all available filesystems and keep the "best" error, we needed to prevent tftpfs to fallback on nfs and vice versa. the tftpfs and nfs implementation in libstand now return EINVAL early if 'netproto' for that purpose.

The block cache implementation in loader has proven to be almost useless, and in worst case even slowing down the disk reads due to insufficient cache size and extra memory copy. Also the current cache implementation does not cache reads from CDs, or work with zfs built on top of multiple disks. Instead of an LRU, this code uses a simple hash (O(1) read from cache), and instead of a single global cache, a separate cache per block device. The cache also implements limited read-ahead to increase performance. To simplify read ahead management, the read ahead will not wrap over bcache end, so in worst case, single block physical read will be performed to fill the last block in bcache. Booting from a virtual CD over IPMI: 0ms latency, before: 27 second, after: 7 seconds 60ms latency, before: over 12 minutes, after: under 5 minutes.
