lualoader has moved to a model where the user is expected to disable color
as desired, rather than disabling it automatically for serial boots, due to
more wide-spread support for color sequences.
In a similar vain, though also to reduce special cases, lualoader no
longer disables the beastie menu automatically for !x86. This was done in
Forth land with a different loader.rc that simply didn't invoke the menu
routines, thus wasn't necessary.
This set of changes puts release images back to how they would've been
experienced prior to the switch to Lua.

the probing and attaching of the PS/2 mouse (not present on EC2) and
keyboard (emulated, but not accessible via EC2).
Note that we disable atkbd0 separately even though during device probing
it shows up as a child of atkbdc0; this is necessary because the device
is also initialized during the early console setup from hammer_time.
This change cuts the kernel boot time on an EC2 c5.4xlarge instance from
7259ms down to 4727 ms.

When booting via EFI on arm we have no way to know the dtb file to load
and we always use the one provided from the bootloader.
This works in most case but :
U-Boot have some really old DTB for some boards, the sync from Linux isn't done automatically for all boards
Some boards (like TI BeagleBone series) use one u-boot for all the model and it doesn't embed the DTBs
Some boards (like IMX6 based ones), don't embed the DTB
We want u-boot to load and patch the DTB with the mac address or the display
node enabled or not.

Since we have now EFI framebuffer enabled for ARM64 if we boot on a board
with an screen, u-boot will set up a EFI GOP framebuffer and we won't boot
using the serial console.
Also on RPI3 the firmware always setup the framebuffer area resulting in u-boot
always setup the EFI GOP and FreeBSD never using the serial console.

They were added for unclear reasons in r277263. The current OpenSSH
defaults (7.5+) are reasonable, and do not include the insecure rc4 cipher:
chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com,
aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,
aes128-gcm@openssh.com,aes256-gcm@openssh.com,
aes128-cbc,aes192-cbc,aes256-cbc
I think I recall there being a reason for a specific list of ciphers on GCE
at the time, but I do not recall what it was, and cannot find any
current GCE documentation of such a list.
So, just revert the explicit configuration and use sane openssh defaults.

the /boot/kernel/linker.hints file, which breaks loading some of the modules
with dependencies, eg cfiscsi.ko.
This is a minimal fix for ARM images, in order to safely MFC it before
11.2-RELEASE. Afterwards, however, I believe we should actually just change
the default (as in, etc/defaults/rc.conf). The reason is that it's required
for every image that's being cross-built, as kldxref(1) cannot handle files
for non-native architectures. For the one that is not - amd64 - having it
on by default doesn't change anything - the script is noop if the linker.hints
already exists.
The long-term solution would be to rewrite kldxref(1) to handle other
architectures, and generate linker.hints at build time.

Since Amazon provides NTP servers within their network, this should
be far superior to using the default NTP pools; and since the service
is provided by Amazon there's very little risk in enabling it by
default. (If someone is able to compromise Amazon's NTP servers and
exploit them to attack EC2 instances, they would almost certainly be
able to compromise EC2 instances even without ntpd running...)

Relnotes: EC2 instances now keep their clocks synchronized using
the Amazon Time Sync Service (aka. NTP).
EC2 instances are normally launched with an SSH public key specified,
which is then used for logging in (by default, as 'ec2-user'). Having
ChallengeResponseAuthentication enabled (as FreeBSD's default sshd_config
does) has no functional effect in a new EC2 instance, since you can't log
in using a password until a password has been set -- but having this
enabled results in alerts from automated scanning tools which can detect
that sshd advertises support for keyboard-interactive logins (since they
can't detect that accounts have no password set).
EC2 users who want to use passwords to log in to their instances will need
to set 'ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes' in FreeBSD 12.0 and later.

native builds, and /usr/obj/<target>.<target_arch>/<srcdir> for cross builds to
a new simpler format of /usr/obj/<srcdir>/<target>.<target_arch>. This
new format is used regardless of cross or native build. It allows
easier management of multiple source tree object directories.
