spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

sys/sys: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.

Overhaul if_enc(4) and make it loadable in run-time.

Use hhook(9) framework to achieve ability of loading and unloading
if_enc(4) kernel module. INET and INET6 code on initialization registers
two helper hooks points in the kernel. if_enc(4) module uses these helper
hook points and registers its hooks. IPSEC code uses these hhook points
to call helper hooks implemented in if_enc(4).

For vendors like Juniper, extensibility for sockets is important. A
good example is socket options that aren't necessarily generic. To
this end, OSD is added to the socket structure and hooks are defined
for key operations on sockets. These are:
o soalloc() and sodealloc()
o Get and set socket options
o Socket related kevent filters.

One aspect about hhook that appears to be not fully baked is the return
semantics (the return value from the hook is ignored in hhook_run_hooks()
at the time of commit). To support return values, the socket_hhook_data
structure contains a 'status' field to hold return values.

Internalise handling of virtualised hook points inside
hhook_{add|remove}_hook_lookup() so that khelp (and other potential API
consumers) do not have to care when they attempt to (un)hook a particular hook
point identified by id and type.

# 601d4c75 13-Jun-2013 Lawrence Stewart <lstewart@FreeBSD.org>

Add support for non-virtualised hhook points, which are uniquely identified by
type and id, as compared to virtualised hook points which are now uniquely
identified by type, id and a vid (which for vimage is the pointer to the vnet
that the hhook resides in).

All hhook_head structs for both virtualised and non-virtualised hook points
coexist in hhook_head_list, and a separate list is maintained for hhook points
within each vnet to simplify some vimage-related housekeeping.

- Introduce the Hhook (Helper Hook) KPI. The KPI is closely modelled on pfil(9),
and in many respects can be thought of as a more generic superset of pfil.
Hhook provides a way for kernel subsystems to export hook points that Khelp
modules can hook to provide enhanced or new functionality to the kernel. The
KPI has been designed to ensure hook points pose no noticeable overhead when
no hook functions are registered.

- Introduce the Khelp (Kernel Helpers) KPI. Khelp provides a framework for
managing Khelp modules, which indirectly use the Hhook KPI to register their
hook functions with hook points of interest within the kernel. Khelp modules
aim to provide a structured way to dynamically extend the kernel at runtime in
an ABI preserving manner. Depending on the subsystem providing hook points, a
Khelp module may be able to associate per-object data for maintaining relevant
state between hook calls.

- pjd's Object Specific Data (OSD) KPI is used to manage the per-object data
allocated to Khelp modules. Create a new "OSD_KHELP" OSD type for use by the
Khelp framework.

- Bump __FreeBSD_version to 900028 to mark the introduction of the new KPIs.
