libnbcompat: Convert to a proper package.

Building this inline meant an excessive number of copies were built
during bootstrap, one for every package that required it.  Now only
one package is built, significantly reducing bootstrap time.

Log message:
libnbcompat: fix chflags(2) issue on Linux

Linux does not have the chflags(2) syscall. Some versions of libc
have a stub that just returns ENOSYS. Not all versions of libc
have this stub so just avoid the potentially missing symbol
and return ENOSYS directly on Linux.

Log message:
libnbcompat: Rework in-place linking.

Prevent libtool from detecting -lnbcompat in the command line arguments
then declaring it as a dependency in the resulting libtool archive.

Filter -lnbcompat from all of the environment when compiling an
in-place copy to prevent circular dependencies.

Drop LIBNBCOMPAT_USE_PIC, I can't find anywhere this is used in the
tree, it's incomplete (needs handling in mk/) and complicates things
needlessly.

What still needs to be done is figure out why certain packages don't
seem to properly link with libnbcompat when USE_FEATURES is used - it's
a long-term problem, might be related to some newer build systems not
using ${LIBS}.

Bootstrap tested on Darwin and NetBSD.
