- Added a generic bhnd_nvram_parser API, with support for the TLV format
used on WGT634U devices, the standard BCM NVRAM format used on most
modern devices, and the "board text file" format used on some hardware
to supply external NVRAM data at runtime (e.g. via an EFI variable).
- Extended the bhnd_bus_if and bhnd_nvram_if interfaces to support both
string-based and primitive data type variable access, required for
common behavior across both SPROM and NVRAM data sources.
- Extended the existing SPROM implementation to support the new
string-based NVRAM APIs.
- Added an abstract bhnd_nvram driver, implementing the bhnd_nvram_if
atop the bhnd_nvram_parser API.
- Added a CFE-based bhnd_nvram driver to provide read-only access to
NVRAM data on MIPS SoCs, pending implementation of a flash-aware
bhnd_nvram driver.

This adds support for the NVRAM handling and the basic SPROM
hardware used on siba(4) and bcma(4) devices, including:
* SPROM directly attached to the PCI core, accessible via PCI configuration
space.
* SPROM attached to later ChipCommon cores.
* SPROM variables vended from the parent SoC bus (e.g. via a directly-attached
flash device).
Additional improvements to the NVRAM/SPROM interface will
be required, but this changeset stands alone as working
checkpoint.

This is an initial work in progress to use the replacement bhnd
bus code for devices which support it.
* Add manpage updates for bhnd, bhndb, siba
* Add kernel options for bhnd, bhndbus, etc
* Add initial support in if_bwn_pci / if_bwn_mac for using bhnd
as the bus transport for suppoted NICs
* if_bwn_pci will eventually be the PCI bus glue to interface to bwn,
which will use the right backend bus to attach to, versus direct
nexus/bhnd attachments (as found in embedded broadcom devices.)
The PCI glue defaults to probing at a lower level than the bwn glue,
so bwn should still attach as per normal without a boot time tunable set.
It's also not fully fleshed out - the bwn probe/attach code needs to be
broken out into platform and bus specific things (just like ath, ath_pci,
ath_ahb) before we can shift the driver over to using this.
Tested:
* BCM4311, STA mode
* BCM4312, STA mode
