Retire obsolete GDB 6.1.1

GDB 6.1.1 was released in June 2004 and is long obsolete. It does not
support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes
limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of
DWARF2 debugging information.

It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which
extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash.
Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed.

Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path
for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the
excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

Switch net.add_addr_allfibs default to 0.

The goal of the fib support is to provide multiple independent
routing tables, isolated from each other.
net.add_addr_allfibs default tries to shift gears in the opposite
direction, unconditionally inserting all addresses to all of the fibs.

There are use cases when this is necessary, however this is not a
default expected behaviour, especially compared to other implementations.

Provide WARNING message for the setups with multiple fibs to notify
potential users of the feature.

Now that config(8) has supported include for 19 years, transition to
including the NOTES files. include support didn't exist at the time,
nor did the envvar stuff recently added. Now that it does, eliminate
the building of LINT files by just including everything you need.

Note: This may cause conflicts with updating in some cases.
find sys -name LINT\* -rm

Turn MALLOC_PRODUCTION into a regular src.conf(5) option

For historical reasons, defining MALLOC_PRODUCTION in /etc/make.conf has
been used to turn off potentially expensive debug checks and statistics
gathering in the implementation of malloc(3).

It seems more consistent to turn this into a regular src.conf(5) option,
e.g. WITH_MALLOC_PRODUCTION / WITHOUT_MALLOC_PRODUCTION. This can then
be toggled similar to any other source build option, and turned on or
off by default for e.g. stable branches.
