This patch converts rp(4) from timeout(9) to callout(9). To do this cleanly,
it replaces a single, global timer that walks tables of controllers and ports
to a per-controller timer. This works much better with locking (since the
locks are per-controller) and removes the need for various global lookup
tables in the driver. The patch is against HEAD but probably applies to 9 and
10 as well.

Note that this driver is using a deprecated API that will be removed in 11.
If no one tests updates to this driver then it is not feasible to continue
maintaining it in the tree. In that case, it will be removed from HEAD one
month from today.
