Enabling the PID randomization option in bsdinstall(8)'s hardening menu
now randomizes the effective value of kern.randompid on each boot.
Previous behaviour:
When kern.randompid was enabled via the the bsdinstall(8) hardening menu,
a random value was generated and placed in the systems /etc/sysctl.conf as
kern.randompid=value
This makes the value of kern.randompid static across reboots.
New behaviour:
When kern.randompid is enabled via the bsdinstall(8) hardening menu, the
line kern.randompid=1 is placed in the systems /etc/sysctl.conf.
This takes advantage of a new kernel feature and makes the value of
kern.randompid be randomized by the kernel on each reboot.

This was originally added as "exit $SUCCESS" but with nothing to set the
SUCCESS variable. Thus it became an exit with no argument, which just
exits with the status of the preceding command.

The usual case of a mismatched checksum for installer snapshots
(e.g., -CURRENT, -ALPHA*) is that a newer snapshot has been built and
the old install sets have been replaced. Provide a specific error
message for checksum mismatches there that suggests looking for a newer
snapshot.

As discussed previously, in order to introduce new OS hardening
defaults, we've added them to bsdinstall in 'off by default' mode.
It has been there for a while, so the next step is to change them
to 'on by defaul' mode, so that in future we could simply enable
them in base OS.
