EC2 instances from sysctl.conf to loader.conf; these can all be set as
loader tunables, and setting them in loader.conf gives us the right
behaviour in the event of a kernel panic taking place prior to when
sysctl.conf is processed.

This keeps the existing El Torito entries for BIOS and UEFI boot code and
adds a GPT in the ISO image's System Area containing boot code for BIOS that
will load /boot/loader from the ISO filesystem and execute it. We then use
etdump to find the EFI System Partition image in the El Torito catalog and
add an entry to the GPT that allows EFI to find it.

Some BIOSes have trouble booting from GPT in non-UEFI mode. This is
commonly reported with Lenovo laptops, including my x220. As we do not
currently support booting FreeBSD/i386 via UEFI there's no reason to
prefer GPT.
The "vestigial swap partition" was added in r265017 to work around an
issue with loader's GPT support, so we should not need it when using
MBR.
We may want to make the same change to amd64, although the issue there is
mitigated by such systems booting via UEFI in the common case.

UEFI booting requires an EFI System Partition (ESP). On most storage devices
this will be in a specific partition type. To allow booting from CD/ISO
filesystems, UEFI will look for an ESP in the form of a FAT filesystem image
embedded in the image. Historically FreeBSD has added one of these to its
amd64 ISO images but marked it as simply another i386 boot image. Luckily for
us most UEFI implementations are rather forgiving and work this out for us.
This change adds the ability to mark a boot image as being a UEFI image. It
also modifies our ISO generation to use this marking for the UEFI image we
embed.

kernel.ucl uses a hardcoded boot/kernel for kldxref, which is the incorrect
directory when we're installing extra kernels that aren't the "default"
kernel (placed at boot/kernel).
Fix this by instead using a new %KERNELDIR% that we now replace in
Makefile.inc1 with "kernel" for the default kernel and "kernel.${_kernel}"
for these extra kernels so that, e.g. /boot/kernel.SHIVA, will get properly
kldxref'd upon update and avoid outdated linker.hints.

The Pine64 root filesystem was incorrectly created directly on the MBR
partition. This can cause the loader to get confused when loading the
kernel from this filesystem.
The loader will see this as a small partition meaning later checks to
ensure it doesn't read past the end of the disk incorrectly report a
failure. This seems to work mostly by accident with the released images as
they are smaller than the reported size, however after growfs has run the
image may no longer boot.

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.
