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.

This patch add new 'hardening' file responsible for new bsdinstall

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.

bsdinstall: Suggest the GPT+Active workaround on Dell T5810

The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS mode
without the Active flag in the Protective MBR. Suggest the workaround
during installation.

Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior,
I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would like
to suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say,
2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems before
committing such a change.

Add support for two workarounds for known issues booting GPT in legacy mode on some hardware

For Lenovo laptops with buggy bios (x220, t420, t520):
Write the 0xee entry into the second slot in the pmbr instead of the first

For some Dell and HP models:
The BIOS gives a warning message when booting in legacy mode from a GPT partitioned disk where the 0xee partition in the pmbr is not flagged active
For models known to have this problem, mark the pmbr active during installation

Use smbios data to identify machines known to be affected by any of the above, and offer the user the option to apply the workaround

In bsdinstall's ufs auto mode (autopart partition wizard):
Allow users to select which type of partition table to use
Keep current defaults: MBR for BIOS, GPT for UEFI
This allows users to choose GPT for legacy boot if they wish
