bsdinstall: add menu to install firmware

Add a menu to the installer to run fwget(8) inside the newly installed
system to install firmware known to be needed.
This requires working netowrking.

This is needed at least for wireless currently for when we entirely
stop shipping new firmware in src.git to have working networking on
the installed system (we already do need this for at least rtw89).

Fix scripted installation from media without local distfiles.

The bsdinstall script target did not have the infrastructure to fetch
distfiles from a remote server the way the interactive installer does
on e.g. bootonly media. Solve this by factoring out the parts of the
installer that deal with fetching missing distributions into a new
install stage called 'fetchmissingdists', which is called by both the
interactive and scripted installer frontends.

In the course of these changes, cleaned up a few other issues with
the fetching of missing distribution files and added a warning if
fetching the MANIFEST file, which is used to verify the integrity of
the distribution files. We should at some point add cryptographic
signatures to MANIFEST so that it can be fetched safely if not present
on the install media (which it is for bootonly media).

Add installer support for PS3 and PowerNV systems, also laying the
foundation for invoking efibootmgr as part of new-style EFI booting on
x86. On PS3 and PowerNV, which are booted using Linux kexec from petitboot
rather than by loader(8), install the kernel and the rest of /boot to a
FAT partition and set up the appropriate petitboot configuration file
there.

The new bootconfig installer stage can do platform-dependent modifications
more complex than partition layout and installation of boot blocks and can
be used to (as here) set up some special configuration files, run efibootmgr,
or boot0cfg.

Add new System Hardening menu and options to bsdinstall.

This patch add new 'hardening' file responsible for new bsdinstall
'System Hardening' menu allowing users to set some sane and carefully
picked system security options (like random process id's, hiding
other users/groups processes and others).

All options are OFF by default in this patch due to POLA principle
with intention to turn change some of them to ON by default in future.

Add zfsboot module as an option for automatic configuration. Default is
to run interactively but it can be scripted too (optinally completely
non-interactive). Currently supports GELI and all ZFS vdev types. Also
performs validation on selections/settings providing error messages if
necessary, explaining (in plain language) what the issue is. Currently
the auto partitioning of naked disks only supports GPT and MBR (VTOC8
pending for sparc64), so is only available for i386/amd64 install.

Split netconfig into three parts:
- netconfig - what auto will call which in turn will check for
IPv4 and IPv6 to be available and ask the user to configure it
by calling
- netconfig_ipv4 doing DHCP and static IPv4 addresses, and
- netconfig_ipv6 doing rtsol and static IPv6 addresses,
and then checking, querying and updating resolv.conf upon return.
Both DHCP and rtsol (in the future) might update resolv.conf already so
we seed ourselves from that file if available.

Add mirror selection for FTP installs. To support TBEMD installs
(e.g. powerpc64), this looks in a slightly different default path than now,
specifying both $MACHINE and $MACHINE_ARCH:
MIRROR/pub/FreeBSD/releases/`uname -p`/`uname -m`/`uname -r`

How to handle TBEMD properly probably merits some more discussion, but,
since no such 9.0-CURRENT distfiles exist at the moment, all existing
mirrors presently fail anyway.

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!
