The change associated with gerrit #14300 removed support for older
Linux kernels (2.6.10 and earlier).
The commit 'Import of code from autoconf-archive' (d8205bbb4) introduced
a check for Autoconf 2.64. Autoconf 2.64 was released in 2009.
The commit 'regen.sh: Use libtoolize -i, and .gitignore generated
build-tools' (a7cc505d3) introduced a dependency on libtool's '-i'
option. Libtool supported the '-i' option with libtool 1.9b in 2004.
Update the INSTALL instructions to document a minimum Linux kernel
level and the minimum levels for autoconf and libtool.
Notes: RHEL4 (EOL in 2017) had a 2.6.9 kernel and RHEL5 has a 2.6.18
kernel. RHEL5 has libtool 1.5.22 and autoconf 2.59, RHEL6 has libtool
2.2.6 and autoconf 2.63, and RHEL7 has libtool 2.4.2 and autoconf 2.69.

According to <https://www.freebsd.org/security/unsupported.html>,
FreeBSD 8.x EoL was on August 1, 2015, and FreeBSD 9.x EoL was on
December 31, 2016. Remove our support for these versions, since they
haven't been supported by FreeBSD itself for a while.
FreeBSD 10.x EoL was on October 31, 2018, which has passed, but was
less than a year ago. So keep 10.x in for now.
Adjust our preprocessor checks accordingly:
- In FBSD-specific dirs, assume AFS_FBSD100_ENV and lower is always
true. Assume __FreeBSD_version is always at least 1000000.
- In non-FBSD dirs, convert AFS_FBSD100_ENV and lower to AFS_FBSD_ENV.

Several files were still referencing the alpha_dux* and alpha_osf*
sysnames. The code for these platforms has been removed, so get rid of
this cruft.

Add support for the arm64/aarch64 architecture on Linux 2.6+. The
param header file is mostly combined from arm and amd64.
Note that the code for syscall interception has not been updated for
arm64, so this will not build on arm64 without support for kernel
keyrings. This also does not define any AFS syscall number, since no
number in the Linux arm64 syscall table is "free" for us to use, as
far as I am aware.

CTF is a reduced form of debug information similar to DWARF and stab. It
describes types and function prototypes. The principal objective of the
format is to shrink the data size as much as possible so that it could
be included in a production environment. MDB, DTrace, and other tools
use CTF debug information to read and display structures correctly.
This commit introduces a new configure option called --with-ctf-tools.
This option can be used to specify an alternative path where the tools
can be found. If the path is not provided, the tools will be searched
in a set of default directories (including $PATH). The CTF debugging
information will only be included if the corresponding --enable-debug /
--enable-debug-kernel is specified.
Note: at the moment, the Solaris kernel module is the only module
benefited by this commit.

Pick some fairly old versions of clang and gcc and document them
as the minimum supported version. This will let us make assumptions
about compiler features that are available when using those compilers.

We enabled pthreaded ubik by default in commit 27cb0d3888,
and it is no longer considered beta or experimental. There is no longer
a need for separate documentation of it, and adjust the options
listing in INSTALL accordingly.
[kaduk@mit.edu: adjust for the changed default behavior.]

Remove obsolete configure options and document all remaining options
other than some provided by Autoconf and some that are currently not
very interesting.
Document that, on modern Linux systems, configure can find the kernel
build system and headers by itself and doesn't need the flag.
Include some more information in README about changing the default
installation paths, and mention that the da* versions of the file server
and volserver also aren't stripped.
Remove the generic GNU installation instructions, which aren't useful
for OpenAFS.
