kern: fix setgroups(2) and getgroups(2) to match other platforms

On most other platforms observed, including OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux,
these system calls have long since been converted to only touching the
supplementary groups of the process. This poses both portability and
security concerns in porting software to and from FreeBSD, as this
subtle difference is a landmine waiting to happen. Bugs have been
discovered even in FreeBSD-local sources, since this behavior is
somewhat unintuitive (see, e.g., fix 48fd05999b0f for chroot(8)).

Now that the egid is tracked outside of cr_groups in our ucred, convert
the syscalls to deal with only supplementary groups. Some remaining
stragglers in base that had baked in assumptions about these syscalls
are fixed in the process to avoid heartburn in conversion.

For relnotes: application developers should audit their use of both
setgroups(2) and getgroups(2) for signs that they had assumed the
previous FreeBSD behavior of using the first element for the egid. Any
calls to setgroups() to clear groups that used a single array of the
now or soon-to-be egid can be converted to setgroups(0, NULL) calls to
clear the supplementary groups entirely on all FreeBSD versions.

libc: further adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using mis-identified 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.

Add abstime kqueue(2) timers and expand struct kevent members.

Add abstime kqueue(2) timers and expand struct kevent members.

This change implements NOTE_ABSTIME flag for EVFILT_TIMER, which
specifies that the data field contains absolute time to fire the
event.

To make this useful, data member of the struct kevent must be extended
to 64bit. Using the opportunity, I also added ext members. This
changes struct kevent almost to Apple struct kevent64, except I did
not changed type of ident and udata, the later would cause serious API
incompatibilities.

The type of ident was kept uintptr_t since EVFILT_AIO returns a
pointer in this field, and e.g. CHERI is sensitive to the type
(discussed with brooks, jhb).

Unlike Apple kevent64, symbol versioning allows us to claim ABI
compatibility and still name the new syscall kevent(2). Compat shims
are provided for both host native and compat32.

Commit the 64-bit inode project.

Extend the ino_t, dev_t, nlink_t types to 64-bit ints. Modify
struct dirent layout to add d_off, increase the size of d_fileno
to 64-bits, increase the size of d_namlen to 16-bits, and change
the required alignment. Increase struct statfs f_mntfromname[] and
f_mntonname[] array length MNAMELEN to 1024.

ABI breakage is mitigated by providing compatibility using versioned
symbols, ingenious use of the existing padding in structures, and
by employing other tricks. Unfortunately, not everything can be
fixed, especially outside the base system. For instance, third-party
APIs which pass struct stat around are broken in backward and
forward incompatible ways.

Kinfo sysctl MIBs ABI is changed in backward-compatible way, but
there is no general mechanism to handle other sysctl MIBS which
return structures where the layout has changed. It was considered
that the breakage is either in the management interfaces, where we
usually allow ABI slip, or is not important.

Struct xvnode changed layout, no compat shims are provided.

For struct xtty, dev_t tty device member was reduced to uint32_t.
It was decided that keeping ABI compat in this case is more useful
than reporting 64-bit dev_t, for the sake of pstat.

Update note: strictly follow the instructions in UPDATING. Build
and install the new kernel with COMPAT_FREEBSD11 option enabled,
then reboot, and only then install new world.

Credits: The 64-bit inode project, also known as ino64, started life
many years ago as a project by Gleb Kurtsou (gleb). Kirk McKusick
(mckusick) then picked up and updated the patch, and acted as a
flag-waver. Feedback, suggestions, and discussions were carried
by Ed Maste (emaste), John Baldwin (jhb), Jilles Tjoelker (jilles),
and Rick Macklem (rmacklem). Kris Moore (kris) performed an initial
ports investigation followed by an exp-run by Antoine Brodin (antoine).
Essential and all-embracing testing was done by Peter Holm (pho).
The heavy lifting of coordinating all these efforts and bringing the
project to completion were done by Konstantin Belousov (kib).
