4a8eeedbb1 Don't require operators to override the list of network filesystem 
types (networkfs_types) with a version that includes the original
list.

This increases the scope for user error and also means that systems with
networkfs_types set in /etc/rc.conf will not benefit from changes to the
list in /etc/defaults/rc.conf on upgrade.

Instead, store the default list in /etc/rc itself and allow the operator
to append to that list by specifying her own list in networkfs_types.

Rename networkfs_types to extra_netfs_types accordingly, as the new name
better describes the purpose of the variable.  Default the value to
'NO'.

d7fb353a43 Re-introduce the fix that delays mounting of network filesystems until 
the network is initialized.  This was first implemented in rev 1.268
of src/etc/rc, but was backed out at wollman's request.

The objection was that the right place for the fix is in mount(8).
Having looked at that problem, I find it hard to believe that
the hoops one would have to jump through can be justified by the
desire for purity alone.

Note that there are reported issues surrounding nfsclient kernel
support and mount_nfs(8), which currently make NFS an ugly exception
to the general case.

With this change, systems with non-NFS network filesystems configured
for mounting on startup in /etc/fstab are no longer guaranteed to
fail on startup.

3626f83327 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to 
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:

Subject: Using a larger block size on large filesystems

schemes is raised.
