a5921bc365 Update share/examples/* to properly install /usr/share/examples.
As result of this, a new examples package is now created.

Note, this is only effective with 'SHARED=copies' (the default),
as the 'SHARED=symlinks' mechanism will create a symlink to the
source tree version of the file(s).

bedca8b119 Uuencode the sample "binary" firmware image file (instead of explicitly
adding \0 bytes).  This is a technique that would be used in an actual
driver and is more suitable as an example.

ce5a491af8 Avoid having a binary file in our source tree and instead create it at
build time, to avoid possible grief maintaining FreeBSD source in
alternative version control tools.

6aec1278dc firmware(9) is a subsystem to load binary data into the kernel via a
specially crafted module.  There are several handrolled sollutions to this
problem in the tree already which will be replaced with this.  They include
iwi(4), ipw(4), ispfw(4) and digi(4).
