Internally libyuv uses malloc & free for short time dynamic memory
allocation during image transformation. The converted images are
such large, that the Libc allocator will create and destroy new Genode
dataspace per image. In time sensitive code paths, the overhead can be
noticeable by the caller of the image transformation.
The patch adds the option to register callbacks in the libyuv library to
implement the image allocation by users of the library. They may implement
caching strategies to avoid the overhead, e.g. as seen with qemu-usb and
the webcam model.
Dynamically loading the `compat-libc` breaks `fork(2)` on Genode.
Switch `compat-libc` to a special api package that provides a source
file for statically linking the library, analogous to the `blit`
package. This also requires a quirk in Goa but should prevent breaking
`fork()` and removes the runtime and archive dependencies for Rust
packages using `compat-libc`.

Implement FBSD_1.0 versions of libc functions ('stat', 'fstat'). The
functions are versioned with @FBSD_1.0, and therefore, will not clash
with libc during linking. However, to be called by our dynamic linker,
the library must be before libc in the NEEDED section of the binary
using it. This requires the lib to be in front of libc in the LIBS
variable. The library currently will call libc 'stat' and 'fstat' by
looking up the symbols via 'dlsym'.

The main user of libsparkcrypto in the past was the CBE block encryption
ecosystem. However, the CBE was replaced with the Tresor block encryption that
uses libcrypto instead.

This little library implements rudimentary format-string support. It is
useful for porting 3rd-party code that ought not depend on a full libc.
Issue #2064
Since the lwip library is used only by the vfs_lwip plugin, this patch
moves the Genode-specific support code local to the VFS plugin, easing
further simplification and allowing for a tighter integration with the
VFS plugin.
The recipes for api/lwip and src/vfs_lwip stay separate as both parts
use different licenses.
Issue #4697
* Switch mesa support from DRI to gallium
Supported drivers are
- softpipe (Sebstian Sumpf)
- iris for Intel GPUs (Alexander Boetcher)
- etnaviv for Vivante GPUs (Josef Söntgen)
* Mesa's generated files are placed into 'contrib/mesa-<hash>/generated'
and are cloned per default from a separate Git repo in order to avoid
hash updates upon package build. In case you need to generate files
yourself use
! prepare_port mesa GENERATE_FILES=1
issue #4254
Support for iris and etnvaviv
* entaviv:
- libdrm on FreeBSD is not prepared for !PCI (and libc our is missing
<sys/pciio.h>
- missing <sys/types.h> include in xf86drmMode.c
- etnaviv relies on linux header files - dummy in $(INC_DIR)
- IOCTL FreeBSD ↔ Linux have swapped IO/OUT bit
- O_CLOEXEC differs between FreeBSD ↔ Linux
issue #4254
- API packages for: libusb, libuvc, and libyuv
- Source packages for: API packages + USB webcam app
- Meta package for USB webcam
- Raw package for USB webcam configuration
