GELI is used on a SSD or inside virtual machine, so that guest can tell
host that it is no longer using some of the storage.
Enabling BIO_DELETE passthru comes with a small security consequence - an
attacker can tell how much space is being really used on encrypted device and
has less data no analyse then. This is why the -T option can be given to the
init subcommand to turn off this behaviour and -t/T options for the configure
subcommand can be used to adjust this setting later.

This commit also includes a fix from Fabian Keil freebsd-listen at
fabiankeil.de for 'configure' on onetime providers which is not strictly
related, but is entangled in the same code, so would cause conflicts if
separated out.
Since METAMODE has been added, sys.mk loads bsd.mkopt.mk which ends load loading
bsd.own.mk which then defines SHLIBDIR before all the Makefile.inc everywhere.
This makes /lib being populated again.

Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

partitions of types other than "freebsd-boot" (in particular, "efi").
This allows the removal of some nasty hacks for supporting PowerPC systems,
in particular aliasing freebsd-boot to apple-boot on APM and an IBM-specific
code on MBR.
This changes the installer to use the correct names, which also breaks a
degeneracy in the meaning of "freebsd-boot" that allows the addition
of support for some newer IBM systems that can boot from GPT in addition to
MBR. Since I have no idea how to detect which those systems are, leave
the default on IBM PPC systems as MBR for now.
This partitioning scheme is used in DragonFlyBSD. It is similar to
BSD disklabel, but has the following improvements:
* metadata has own dedicated place and isn't accessible through partitions;
* all offsets are 64-bit;
* supports 16 partitions by default (has reserved place for more);
* has reserved place for backup label (but not yet implemented);
* has UUIDs for partitions and partition types;

uses it since it wasn't a simple mechanical change, and will be
addressed in a future commit.
