- Rework MANIFEST generation and parsing via bsdinstall(8).
- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

Introduce $BASEBITSDIR for clarity and in order to avoid repeating this
mistake in the future. Fixing this ensures that we pick up the newly built
boot code and loader native to the target, which is especially relevant
when cross-building release images.
- It is pointless to specify an endianess for ISO 9660 images so strip that.

- Use ln -fs to create a symlink.
- Remove pkgadd for docports.
- Use WITHOUT_JADETEX=yes instead of WITH_JADETEX=no.
- Add {WORLD,KERNEL}_FLAGS to [BTWK]MAKE.
- Use makefs(8) and gpart(8) for sparc64 ISO image[2].
- Add publisher option to makefs(8)[2].

Volume Descriptor (section 7.4). In short, upper-case alphanumeric + some
symbols only. While the makefs utility automatically converts the characters,
$LABEL should be consistent in the scripts.
makes booting more reliable (and working at all on USB sticks). While here,
move responsibility for setting up fstab into the various platform mk-*.sh
scripts.

this script, without it sparc64 ISO building was consistently failing
because the /dev/md0 device name was not present when the commands
following mdconfig ran. Apparently there is the possibility of a delay
between when mdconfig finishes and the names become visible in /dev.
Yes, we could code this better than an unconditional call to "sleep 5"
but IMHO we should fix the underlying problem instead.

Also make sure bsdlabel(8) (along with the disklabel(8) compat
link) still appear on the fixit floppies of platforms that use
it natively (alpha, i386, and pc98).
