New file descriptor allocation code in FreeBSD

[Xin LI]

FYI, the performance difference caused by this commit is very impressive on
FreeBSD:

While porting this back to -STABLE and DragonFly is not trivial (many 5-ish
calls :( ), but I think it is worthy to have a look on it :)

>   New file descriptor allocation code, derived from similar code
introduced
>   in OpenBSD by Niels Provos.  The patch introduces a bitmap of allocated
>   file descriptors which is used to locate available descriptors when a
new
>   one is needed.  It also moves the task of growing the file descriptor
table
>   out of fdalloc(), reducing complexity in both fdalloc() and do_dup().

>   Debts of gratitude are owed to tjr@ (who provided the original patch on

>   (for assistance with pxeboot(8)).
