Don't return EPERM in setre[ug]id() just because the caller passes in

The magic number conflicted with the rotting disabled one in ext2fs for

Removed messy debugging variable/constant/sysctl debug.doreallocblks.
Lite2 removed it, and we don't use the code that it controls.
This is valueable for library code which needs to be able to find out
whether the current process is or *was* set[ug]id at some point in the
past, and may have a "tainted" execution environment. This is especially
a problem with the trend to immediately revoke privs at startup and regain
them for critical sections. One problem with this is that if a cracker
is able to compromise the program while it's still got a saved id, the
cracker can direct the program to regain the privs. Another problem is
that the user may be able to affect the program in some other way (eg:
setting resolver host aliases) and the library code needs to know when it
should disable these sorts of features.

The only visible difference should be that a non-root setuid program
(eg: inn's "rnews" program) that is setuid to news, can completely
"become" uid news. (ie: setuid(geteuid()) This was allowed in
traditional 4.2/4.3BSD and is now "blessed" by Posix as a special
case of "appropriate privilige".
Also, be much more careful with the P_SUGID flag so that we can use it
for issetugid() - only set it if something changed.

unp_internalize() fills in the cmesgcred structure with the sending

- Did the client send ancillary data?

o No, refuse to authenticate the client.
- The the client send data of type SCM_CREDS?
o Yes, proceed.

rev.1.10 two years ago. Children continued to run at splhigh()
after returning from vm_fork(). This mainly affected kernel
processes and init. For ordinary processes, interrupts are normally
unmasked a few instructions later after fork() returns (it may be
important for syscall() not to reschedule the child processes).
Kernel processes had workarounds for the problem. Init manages to
start because some routines "know" that it is safe to go to sleep
despite their caller starting them at a high ipl. Then its ipl
gets fixed on its first normal return from a syscall.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

Firstly, now our read-ahead clustering is on a file descriptor basis and not
on a per-vnode basis. This will allow multiple processes reading the
same file to take advantage of read-ahead clustering. Secondly, there
previously was a problem with large reads still using the ramp-up
algorithm. Of course, that was bogus, and now we read the entire
"chunk" off of the disk in one operation. The read-ahead clustering
algorithm should use less CPU than the previous also (I hope :-)).

Broke locking on named pipes in the same way as locking on non-vnodes

The fix involves negative logic. Named pipes are now distinguished from
other types of files with vnodes, and there is additional code to handle
vnodes and named pipes in the same way only where that makes sense (not
for lseek, locking or TIOCSCTTY).
This makes unexpected faults (in an interrupt handler) more likely
