geom_gettree probably never fails, and if it does there isn't much of
a fallback other than aborting partitioning. However, a few places
were checking the return value and not doing anything with it
triggering a unused-but-set-variable warning. Checking the errors
resolves the warning.
While here, check for errors in other places that weren't checking for
them at all, remove a spurious double call (the second call overwrote
the mesh structure leaking all the pointers from the first), and close
a few resource leaks on error paths.

When not doing tree walks, it is bad for sub-dirs to depend on
parents. Move the generation of opt_osname.h to distextract
and have others that need that depend on it.
In usr.sbin/bsdinstall use SUBDIR_DEPEND_ so tree walking still works.

Fix bsdinstall "Auto (UFS) Guided Disk Setup" and sade(8) "Auto".
The problem is a string comparison failure, it arose during the

* dialog uses only form.text while bsdialog differentiates between
form.init and form.value.
* dialog always allocates memory for form values while bsddialog only

If the disk parameter "DEFAULT" is set in place of an actual device name,
or no disk is specified for the PARTITIONS parameter, the installer will
follow the logic used in the automatic-partitioning mode, in which it
will either provide a selection dialog for one of several disks if
several are present or automatically select it if there is only one. This
simplifies the creation of fully-automatic installation media for
hardware or VMs with varying disk names.

Because the ESP mount point (/boot/efi) is in mtree, tar will attempt to
extract a directory at that point post-mount when the system is installed.
Normally, this is fine, since tar can happily set whatever properties it
wants. For FAT32 file systems, however, like the ESP, tar will attempt to
set mtime on the root directory, which FAT does not support, and tar will
interpret this as a fatal error, breaking the install (see
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/1516). This issue would
also break scripted installs on bare-metal POWER8, POWER9, and PS3
systems, as well as some ARM systems.
This patch solves the problem in two ways:
- If stdout is a TTY, use the distextract stage instead of tar, as in
interactive installs. distextract solves this problem internally and
provides a nicer UI to boot, but requires a TTY.
- If stdout is not a TTY, use tar but, as a stopgap for 13.0, exclude
boot/efi from tarball extraction and then add it by hand. This is a
hack, and better solutions (as in the libarchive ticket above) will
obsolete it, but it solves the most common case, leaving only
unattended TTY-less installs on a few tier-2 platforms broken.
In addition, fix a bug with fstab generation uncovered once the tar issue
is fixed that umount(8) can depend on the ordering of lines in fstab in a
way that mount(8) does not. The partition editor now writes out fstab in
mount order, making sure umount (run at the end of scripted, but not
interactive, installs) succeeds.

Per hier(7), the ESP will be mounted at /boot/efi. On UFS systems,
any existing ESP will be reused and mounted there; otherwise, a new one
will be made. On ZFS systems, space for an ESP is allocated on all disks
in the root pool, but only the partition actually used to boot is set up
and mounted.
This makes future upgrades of the EFI loader easier (upgrade scripts can
just change /boot/efi) and also greatly simplifies the parts of the
installer involved in initialization of the ESP. It also makes the
installer's behavior correspond to the documentation in hier(7).

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32

loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry

Right now is possible to modify bootable partition type to
non-bootable type without getting warning from partedit.
Example: if you auto parition drive for arm64, you will
get freebsd-ufs as bootable partition; now you are able
to change bootable partition type to freebsd-zfs; there
will be no warning and the system will install but
will not be bootable afterwards.
After this fix, partedit will issue the same warning it
does when user attempts to create bootable partition of
not supported type, notyfing a user about incoming
problem and allowing to think the decision over before
commiting the schema.
This has been tested on amd64 and arm64.
