ath(4): Remove MIPS AHB frontend and join PCI one w/ main support again

Following the removal of general MIPS support, there's no longer a need
to have the AHB bus-frontend in place, which according to Linux sources
also isn't used with any non-MIPS SoCs. For simplicity, PCI bus support
is only made conditional on the main one again, i. e. device ath_pci is
removed, and built into the main module, i. e. if_ath_pci.ko obsoleted,
respectively.
Effectively, this reverts the following commits and associated changes:

amd64: Bump MAXCPU to 1024 (from 256)

Hardware with more than 256 CPU cores is currently available and will
become increasingly common over FreeBSD 14's lifetime. Increase MAXCPU
in the amd64 GENERIC kernel configuration to 1024.

Earlier commits increased some related limits. These prerequisite
commits include at least:

- d7ed40243769 Increase MAX_APIC_ID safeguard to 0x800
- d1639e43c589 cpuset: increase userland maximum size to 1024

Global and allocated arrays sized by MAXCPU result in excessive bloat
on systems with lower core counts. In addition, some code used u_char
(8 bits) to hold a CPU index, which is not valid if MAXCPU is greater
than 256.

A number of recent commits addressed these sorts of issues, including
at least:

- 133935d26f20 pf: atomically increment state ids
- 74ac712f72cf vmm: Dynamically allocate a couple of per-CPU state save areas
- 78cfa762ebf2 callout: Move per-CPU callout state into the dpcpu region
- 42f722e721cd amd64: store pcids pmap data in pcpu zone
- 9801e7c275f6 smp_topo: dynamically allocate group array
- 9fb6718d1b18 smp: Dynamically allocate the stoppcbs array
- 2bb16c635249 x86: retire use of intr_bind

There are some additional allocations still to be converted and
more scalability work is required to make effective use of very high
core count systems, but this change allows us to boot on these systems
and provides a Kernel Binary Interface (KBI) for the FreeBSD 14 release
that supports these configurations.

Special thanks to AMD for providing hardware to test these changes.

atkbc: Better test for old chromebooks

Older Chromebooks have issues in their embedded controller (EC) firmware
which need working around in atkbd and atkbdc. On these systems, rather
than use a standard EC, Google used their own arm-based EC. For a while,
its firmware incorrectly implemented the i8042, requiring workaroundsd
in the driver.

Implement a heuristic recommended by MrChromebox <mrchromebox@gmail.com>
to detect them: If the bios.version starts with Google_, or the maker is
either Google or GOOGLE, assume that it's a chromebook with the affected
bios. While this isn't strictly true, the number of updated systems
without the bug is very small and this will exclude all the non-Google
coreboot user that use a standard EC. There's no simple way to test the
hardware to see if it's implemented with the buggy EC.

libtacplus: Allow additional AV pairs to be configured.

* Replace hand-rolled input tokenizer with openpam_readlinev() which supports line continuations and has better quoting and escaping.
* Simplify string handling by merging struct clnt_str and struct srvr_str into just struct tac_str.
* Each server entry in the configuration file can now have up to 255 AV pairs which will be appended to the ones returned by the server in response to a successful authorization request.

This allows nss_tacplus(8) to be used with servers which do not provide identity information beyond confirming the existence of the user.

This adds a dependency on libpam, however libtacplus is currently only used by pam_tacplus(8) (which is already always used with libpam) and the very recently added nss_tacplus(8) (which is extremely niche). In the longer term it might be a good idea to split this out into a separate library.
