Remove world-readability from the root directory. Sensitive information may be
stored in /root and we diverge here from normative administrative practice, as
well as installation defaults of other Unix-alikes. The wheel group is still
permitted to read the directory.
750 is no more restrictive than defaults for the rest of the open source
Unix-alike world. In particular, Ben Woods surveyed DragonFly, NetBSD,
OpenBSD, ArchLinux, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Slackware, and Ubuntu. None have a
world-readable /root by default.

Mount the UEFI ESP on /boot/efi. No current system uses this by default, but
there are many ad-hoc schemes that do this in /efi or /esp or /uefi and adding a
new directory at the top-level would have a much higher likelihood of
collision. Document this in /etc/mtree/BSD.root.mtree and create EFIDIR and
related variables in bsd.own.mk.

The former is fairly vague; these are FDT overlays to be applied to the
running system, so /boot/dtb is a sensible location to put it without
cluttering up /boot/dtb even further if desired.
/boot/overlays was recently added without belonging to a package. It's only
used by bootloaders at the moment, so add it to the 'runtime' package to get
added with ubldr and friends.
Fix distrib-dirs METALOG generation while we're here. History elsewhere
seems to indicate that bapt@ fixed this to pull in all attributes from
mtrees while generating the METALOG. This fix got clobbered somewhere later,
so restore it.

After calling the cap_init(3) function Casper will fork from it's original
process, using pdfork(2). Forking from a process has a lot of advantages:
1. We have the same cwd as the original process.
2. The same uid, gid and groups.
3. The same MAC labels.
4. The same descriptor table.
5. The same routing table.
6. The same umask.
7. The same cpuset(1).
From now services are also in form of libraries.
We also removed libcapsicum at all and converts existing program using Casper

tree support includes a device tree source compiler dtc(8) which
converts .dts files into .dtb files. /boot/loader will load dtb files
from this directory by default, allowing for fewer differences between
images for different SoCs. Compiled dts files will wind up here
eventually as an alternative to embedding them into the kernel.
Document this in hier(7), as well as add missing entries for
/boot/firmware and /boot/zfs, though the latter two should only be
considered place holders if someone wants to make them better.
