Description

While addressing OS-7835, I discovered that all of the uts/*/unix Makefiles use the generic MAPFILE name to build the unix module, rather than something more specific. This gets in the way of other machine-specific modules using such a name that makes sense. The variable for the unix mapfile should probably be renamed to UNIX_MAPFILE.

To test this, I initiated a new build of the uts/i86pc/unix component and checked to make sure the appropriate mapfile was passed to ld(1) via -M. After performing the build, I booted up on the resulting PI and verified that it does boot and operate as expected.
