>Description:
npf ships with various extension modules such as ext_log and ext_rndblock.

npfctl(8) loads extension modules from `/lib/npf/ext_%s.so'.

For some reason, however, we also install versioned shlib symlinks like /lib/npf/ext_log.so.0 and /lib/npf/ext_log.so.0.0.  And userland ABI compat versions like /lib/i386/npf/ext_log.so on amd64, /lib/o32/npf/ext_log.so on mips64, &c.  These extra files are never used and should be eliminated.
>How-To-Repeat:
code inspection
>Fix:
1. set the appropriate makefile settings in src/lib/npf/mod.mk
2. update the set lists
3. figure out how to obsolete just compat entries, not the non-compat entries they're based on
