Disconnect the dependency on the kernel package from the runtime
package. There are a number of problems here:
1) The runtime package installed into a chroot or a jail would
include the kernel package, changing the behavior of how jails
work now [1];
2) As result of (1), it is possible a binary may incorrectly
resolve kernel symbols [2]; in addition, it is possible there
will be unexpected fallout with 32-bit jails on a 64-bit host
kernel [2].

svnversion metadata to the runtime and kernel packages.
Instead of traversing src/sys, as is done by newvers.sh for uname(1),
a full tree walk is done to prevent userland and/or modifications
from not being reflected in a modified tree (M).

Use PPID and PID to kill off the pre-install and parent pkg(8)
processes unless 'Y' or 'y' are entered at the prompt if the user
wants to proceed with upgrading the kernel and userland at the same
time.
This restores some of the logic and intent of r322327, with the
caveat of printing "child process terminated unexpectedly."

It appears I misunderstand process forking and signal handling in
how the pre-/post-install scripts are executed internally by pkg(8).
In some cases (not all), ^C when prompted to cancel the kernel
package update will stop the pre-install script from executing, but
allow pkg(8) to continue extracting the package when it is not the
intent.
In order to keep somewhat of an anti-footshooting measure in place,
print the recommendation to install the kernel package first if
ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES is false and TERM is set, then sleep for 5 seconds
to allow the user to see the message.

The idea here is that, provided upstream pkg(8) maintainers accept
the proposed change, the kernel.ucl will contain a post-install
script causing pkg(8) to emit a message informing to reboot the
system after the kernel is upgraded using 'pkg upgrade', so the
new userland is installed on the running new kernel. At present,
this functionality does not exist in pkg(8), but will help ensure
the upgrade path follows that from UPDATING. To work around this
for now, evaluate ASSUME_ALWAYS_YES, and prompt the user if they
wish to proceed if not set to true.
Since there is a kernel dependency, and a non-GENERIC kernel may
be in use, update Makefile.inc1 to replace '%KERNCONF%' in the
runtime.ucl with the first-built kernel set either via command line
or in make.conf(5).
