Disable Duplicate Address Detection in EC2 instances. The networking
configuration in EC2, with IPv6 addresses assigned by DHCPv6 and
host egress filtering, makes "duplicate addresses" impossible.
This speeds up the boot process in EC2 by 2 seconds.

This reduces the FreeBSD boot time by approximately 5 seconds,
roughly equally divided betwenn two factors:
* Disk I/O is faster in the EFI loader since it can perform larger
I/Os. (The BIOS loader is limited due to the use of bounce buffers
in sub-1M memory.)
* The EFI console is much faster than the VGA console.
Note however that not all EC2 instance types support UEFI; as a
general rule the newer instances (based on Amazon's "Nitro" platform)
support UEFI but the older instances (based on Xen) do not.

The default boot method for amd64 AMIs is BIOS, but at AMI creation
time a flag can be set to specify that UEFI should be used instead.
This commit adds a variable AMIBOOTMETHOD which, if set to "UEFI",
causes the appropriate flag to be set during AMI creation.
The only boot method supported by EC2 for arm64 is UEFI.
The names of AMIs are also amended to include the boot method; they
now look like "FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT-amd64-20210915 UEFI".

The mangling was present in the initial revision of the script, but its
purpose is not clear. It may have been to avoid defining make(1)
variables with a dash in the name, but this is permitted. Furthermore,
it results in invalid dependency information if a dependency's name
contains an underscore, causing e.g., libcompiler_rt-dev to depend on
libcompiler-rt, and resulting in warnings when installing base system
packages. Remove the mangling.
