When taking user input, don't show asterisks as the user types
but instead spin a twiddle. Implement Ctrl-U to clear user input.
If the buffer is empty, either because the user has yet to type
anything, presses Ctrl-U at any time, or presses backspace enough
to end in an empty buffer, the twiddle is erased to provide feed-
back to the user.

Also, increase the number of regions we can handle from 5 to 16.

redzone below the stack pointer for scratch space and requires
interrupt and signal frames to avoid overwriting it. However, EFI uses
the Windows ABI which does not support this. As a result, interrupt
handlers in EFI push their interrupt frames directly on top of the
stack pointer. If the compiler used the red zone in a function in the
EFI loader, then a device interrupt that occurred while that function
was running could trash its local variables. In practice this happens
fairly reliable when using gzipfs as an interrupt during decompression
can trash the local variables in the inflate_table() function
resulting in corrupted output or hangs.
Fix this by disabling the redzone for amd64 EFI binaries. This
requires building not only the loader but any libraries used by the
loader without redzone support.
Thanks to Jilles for pointing me at the redzone once I found the stack
corruption.

(for example, a large mfsroot). Note that for EFI the kernel and
modules (as well as other metadata files such as splash screens or
memory disk images) are loaded into a statically-sized staging area.
When the EFI loader exits it copies this staging area down to the
location the kernel expects to run at.
- Add bounds checking to the copy routines to fail attempts to access
memory outside of the staging area. Previously loading a combined
kernel + modules larger than the staging size (32MB) would overflow
the staging area trashing whatever memory was afterwards. Under
Intel's OVMF firmware for qemu this resulted in fatal faults in the
firmware itself. Now the attempt will fail with ENOMEM.
- Allow the staging area size to be configured at compile time via
an EFI_STAGING_SIZE variable in src.conf or on the command line.
It accepts the size of the staging area in MB. The default size
remains 32MB.

it caused loader to crash.

When building some of the boot loaders with clang, and DEBUG_FLAGS or
CFLAGS having '-g' in it, clang outputs several assembly directives that
are too new for our version of binutils.
Therefore, assemble the resulting .s files with clang instead. A more
general solution can be implemented when a GNU as-compatible driver for
clang's integrated assembler appears.
