r314450:

Add additional __FreeBSD_version guards around the hsearch_r testcases

The reasoning for this is the same as r276046: to ease MFCing the tests
to ^/stable/10 .

This was accidentally missed in r313439

Merge content from ^/projects/netbsd-tests-upstream-01-2017 into ^/head

The primary end-goal of this drop is ease future merges with NetBSD and
collaborate further with the NetBSD project.

The goal was (largely, not completely as some items are still oustanding
in the NetBSD GNATS system) achieved by doing the following:
- Pushing as many changes required to port contrib/netbsd-tests
  back to NetBSD as possible, then pull the upstream applied changes
  back in to FreeBSD.
- Diff reduce with upstream where possible by:
-- Improving libnetbsd header, etc compat glue.
-- Using _SED variables to modify test scripts on the fly for items
   that could not be upstreamed to NetBSD.

As a bonus for this work, this change also introduces testcases for
uniq(1).

Many thanks to Christos for working with me to get many of the changes
back into the NetBSD project.

In collaboration with:	Christos Zoulas <christos@netbsd.org>

src/tests: The FreeBSD test suite
=================================

This file describes the build infrastructure of the FreeBSD test suite.
If you are only interested in using the test suite itself, please refer
to tests(7) instead.

The build of the test suite is organized in the following manner:

* The build of all test artifacts is protected by the MK_TESTS knob.
  The user can disable these with the WITHOUT_TESTS setting in
  src.conf(5).

* The goal for /usr/tests/ (the installed test programs) is to follow
  the same hierarchy as /usr/src/ wherever possible, which in turn drives
  several of the design decisions described below.  This simplifies the
  discoverability of tests.  We want a mapping such as:

    /usr/src/bin/cp/      -> /usr/tests/bin/cp/
    /usr/src/lib/libc/    -> /usr/tests/lib/libc/
    /usr/src/usr.bin/cut/ -> /usr/tests/usr.bin/cut/
    ... and many more ...

* Test programs for specific utilities and libraries are located next
  to the source code of such programs.  For example, the tests for the
  src/lib/libcrypt/ library live in src/lib/libcrypt/tests/.  The tests/
  subdirectory is optional and should, in general, be avoided.

* The src/tests/ hierarchy (this directory) provides generic test
  infrastructure and glue code to join all test programs together into
  a single test suite definition.

* The src/tests/ hierarchy also includes cross-functional test programs:
  i.e. test programs that cover more than a single utility or library
  and thus don't fit anywhere else in the tree.  Consider this to follow
  the same rationale as src/share/man/: this directory contains generic
  manual pages while the manual pages that are specific to individual
  tools or libraries live next to the source code.

In order to keep the src/tests/ hierarchy decoupled from the actual test
programs being installed --which is a worthy goal because it simplifies
the addition of new test programs and simplifies the maintenance of the
tree-- the top-level Kyuafile does not know which subdirectories may
exist upfront.  Instead, such Kyuafile automatically detects, at
run-time, which */Kyuafile files exist and uses those directly.

Similarly, every directory in src/ that wants to install a Kyuafile to
just recurse into other subdirectories reuses this Kyuafile with
auto-discovery features.  As an example, take a look at src/lib/tests/
whose sole purpose is to install a Kyuafile into /usr/tests/lib/.
The goal in this specific case is for /usr/tests/lib/ to be generated
entirely from src/lib/.
