This reduces the FreeBSD boot time by approximately 5 seconds,
roughly equally divided betwenn two factors:
* Disk I/O is faster in the EFI loader since it can perform larger
I/Os. (The BIOS loader is limited due to the use of bounce buffers
in sub-1M memory.)
* The EFI console is much faster than the VGA console.
Note however that not all EC2 instance types support UEFI; as a
general rule the newer instances (based on Amazon's "Nitro" platform)
support UEFI but the older instances (based on Xen) do not.

The default boot method for amd64 AMIs is BIOS, but at AMI creation
time a flag can be set to specify that UEFI should be used instead.
This commit adds a variable AMIBOOTMETHOD which, if set to "UEFI",
causes the appropriate flag to be set during AMI creation.
The only boot method supported by EC2 for arm64 is UEFI.
The names of AMIs are also amended to include the boot method; they
now look like "FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20210915 UEFI".

The mangling was present in the initial revision of the script, but its
purpose is not clear. It may have been to avoid defining make(1)
variables with a dash in the name, but this is permitted. Furthermore,
it results in invalid dependency information if a dependency's name
contains an underscore, causing e.g., libcompiler_rt-dev to depend on
libcompiler-rt, and resulting in warnings when installing base system
packages. Remove the mangling.

Using makefs instead reduces the privileges needed to build VM images,
simplifies the script (no need to copy files to a fresh image at the end),
and improves portability by allowing generation of cross-endian images.
As a result of the last, this patch also adds support for generation of
powerpc64 and powerpc64le VM images.
No other changes to the output. Tested and working for both amd64 and

These images only ever worked on Apple Powermacs, which are now a very
old platform, and did so only for a very loose definition of "worked"
(they booted on a small subset of supported machines). Moreover, all
the machines they *did* boot on also would boot from a memstick made
by dd'ing an CD image to a flash drive. Since a flash drive prepared
in this way would also boot all the newer systems we support, the
memstick images were strictly less functional than the CD images, even
for booting from memory sticks.
