rS354942: Port the NetBSD KCSAN runtime to FreeBSD.

Summary

This imports the NetBSD KCSan runtime into FreeBSD. KCSAN is the Kernel
Concurrency Sanitizer. It uses the thread sanitizer hooks to check
kernel memory accesses are not racy.

Every 1024 memory accesses a cell is created and the runtime performs a
short wait. If any other memory accesses touch the same memory in a
non-atomic way the runtime warns about a data race.

Test Plan

Booted on amd64 and arm64. Other architectures will need minimal work
in machine/atomic.h and machine/bus.h to port to them.

sys/amd64/conf/GENERIC
109	I won't enable this by default, but will leave it on for now for testing
sys/arm64/conf/GENERIC
28	This is disabled to allow testing on a ThunderX in Sentex.

424	Can this be upstreamed?
sys/arm64/conf/GENERIC
28	NUMA doesn't work on ThunderX?

sys/amd64/include/csan.h
59	If the delay is small this is fine, else look at pause() how to properly use DELAY().

sys/amd64/include/csan.h
59	It's 10us. It needs to be long enough for the other threads to perform memory accesses on the same location without slowing the execution too much.
sys/arm64/conf/GENERIC
28	Not when booting with fdt.

sys/amd64/include/csan.h
59	Why is the delay argument 64-bit. Maybe make it just 16-bits ?

sys/amd64/include/csan.h
59	I haven't changed that code from NetBSD.

Update to version I expect to commit

sys/arm64/include/bus.h
328	Should this change be committed separately?
sys/sys/systm.h
375	How about: copystr(...) kcsan_copystr(__VA_ARGS__) Or you can skip the ()'s around the arguments, because they are already separated by comma.
