Log Message:
Rework MAKEDEV:

    *   Use "mknod -F netbsd -r" to create nodes, instead of
        "rm ; mknod; chmod; chown".
        This means permissions & ownership of existing nodes will
        not be changed.
        This is up to 30% faster when populating an empty /dev,
        and nearly 2x faster when re-running on an existing /dev.

    *   New options:
        -f              force change of permission & ownership of existing
                        devices
        -m mknod        override name/path of mknod program
                        (which defaults to $TOOL_MKNOD, then "mknod").
        -s              generate mtree(8) specfile instead of creating devices

    *   Remove /usr/etc from $PATH; not needed anymore.

    *   Provide functions to create devices & directories:
            mkdev name [b|c] major minor [mode{=600} [gid{=0} [uid{=0}]]]
                create device node `name' with the appropriate permissions
            lndev src target
                create a symlink from src to target
            makedir dir mode
                create directory with appropriate mode

    *   UIDs and GIDs are hardcoded in at MAKEDEV generation time.
        (Unfortunately there's not a simple way of determining a GID
        a la "id -n user" for determining a UID).

This was tested by generating MAKEDEV for each MACHINE,MACHINE_ARCH
combination and comparing the results of "MAKEDEV all" from the
previous version to the new one.
(This testing actually highlighted mistakes in the previous configuration!)

Simplify distrib/common/Makefile.makedev to use "MAKEDEV -s"
