bsdinstall: Add ntpdate option

When you install a computer for the first time, the date in the CMOS sometimes
not accurate and you need to ntpdate as ntpd will fail a the time difference

bsdinstall: Add ntpdate option

When you install a computer for the first time, the date in the CMOS sometimes
not accurate and you need to ntpdate as ntpd will fail a the time difference
is too big.
Add an option in bsdinstall to enable ntpdate that will do that for us.

The `local: Not in a function' is obvious, and was introduced by myself in
SVN revision 256348.

The latter two are caused by the attempt to use "\" to continue the line
after using the ">>" redirect. This appears to attempt to write a file with
the name " " in the current directory and subsequently attempts to execute
the file that was originally intended for writing (which is not executable;
hence the `Permission denied'). That was introduced in SVN r228192 about
2 years ago, apparently unnoticed until I started going over the debug
outputs very carefully.

sed(1): Use /i instead of /I

the i modifier was added in r259132 since POSIX recently agreed to add
it. Switch uses of /I to /i.

Remove the dumpdev configuration dialog, merge it into the regular
services configuration and enable it by default. Committed with
slight change to menu text for length and content.

Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with

Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with
pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.
Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming
weeks.

Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while
temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work
will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release
integration.

Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
