ircrc: use aux/trampoline or tlsclient for connections, add -T flag for tls
previously ircrc dialed through /net itself and resolved ips on its own. this prevented the use of an ip address, and also prevented use of ipv6. now you can use an ip, or a dns name that resolves to ipv6. the -T flag is also added to use tlsclient for encrypted connections.

vga, vesa: scaling modes
At least on some NVIDIA cards the default scaling mode makes
black borders visible on all sides, even on native resolution.
This patch adds a generic "scaling MODE" command to vgactl
and adds support for it on VESA through NVIDIA VBE OEM extension.
It hasn't been tested on any other video cards, but shouldn't
break anything as the scaling mode is only set on write to vgactl.

zynq: only tmpmap() while splhi(), remove unneeded coherence() after tmpunmap(), splhi() in l2free()
we have to call tmpmap() with interrupts disabled as the map
is a per cpu and a interrupt can preempt us while we where
commited to use a entry but *before* we wrote it!
tmpunmap() already calls coherence() before flushpg() so it
is not needed after tmpunmap().
splhi() in l2free() isnt needed as l2free() is always called
with interrupts disabled from mmuswitch() and mmurelease().

ip: exclude "don't fragment" bit from ipv4 reassembly test
other operating systems always set the "don't fragment" bit
in ther outgoing ipv4 packets causing us to unnecesarily
call ip4reassemble() looking for a fragment reassembly queue.
the change excludes the "don't fragment" bit from the test
so we now call ip4reassemble() only when the "more fragmens"
bit is set or a fragment offset other than zero is given.

kernel: avoid inconsistent reads in /proc/#/fd and /proc/#/ns
to allow bytewise access to /proc/#/fd, the contents of the file where
recreated on each call. if fd's had been closed or reassigned between
the reads, the offset would be inconsistent and a read could start off
in the middle of a line. this happens when you cat /proc/#/fd file of
a busy process that mutates its filedescriptor table.
to fix this, we now return one line record at a time. if the line
fits in the read size, then this means the next read will always start
at the beginning of the next line record. we remember the consumed
byte count in Chan.mrock and the current record in Chan.nrock. (these
fields are free to usefor non-directory files)
if a read comes in and the offset is the same as c->mrock, we do not
need to regenerate the file and just render the next c->nrock's record.
for reads smaller than the line count, we have to regenerate the content
up to the offset and the race is still possible, but this should not
be the common case.
the same algorithm is now used for /proc/#/ns file, allowing a simpler
reimplementation and getting rid of Mntwalk state strcture.

mpshutdown() used to call acpireset() making it impossible to build

kernel: new mount cache
this is a new more simple version of the mount cache
that does not require dynamic allocations for extends.
the Mntcache structure now contains a page bitmap
that is used for quick page invalidation. the size
of the bitmap is proportional to MAXCACHE.
instead of keeping track of cached range in the
Extend data structure, we keep all the information
in the Page itself. the offset from the page where
the cache range starts is in the low PGSHIT bits and
the end in the top bits of Page.va.
we choose Page.daddr to map 1:1 the Mountcache number
and page number (pn) in the Mountcache. to find a page,
we first check the bitmap if the page is there and then
do a pagelookup() with the daddr key.

acme: fix buffer overrun in xfidutfread() and xfidruneread(), cleanup
the utf8 buffers b1 where allocated from fbufalloc() which gives
us BUFSIZE bytes, but Xfid->count can be bigger than that. so just
emalloc() the requested number of bytes.
when converting from Runes to utf-8, we have to account for the
terminating '\0' byte snprint() places, so fix the maxrune number
calculation instead of using BUFSIZE+1 as buffer size.
A buffer can be overflowed in the init function of kbmap.c by using a filename of more than 112 characters.
sample output:
% cd /sys/lib/kbmap
% touch aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
% kbmap
kbmap 1974: suicide: sys: trap: fault write addr=0xa6a96510 pc=0x000011df
offending code is most likely the call to sprint in the init function of /sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c,
which in this case writes /sys/lib/kbmap/$file to a 128-bit buffer.
I'm willing to submit a patch for this myself along with a few minor improvements/fixes to kbmap
if I can figure out the nuances of doing so.
