Warner Losh 62a7dae44d release: Use standard mount points for arm MBR boot images
Traditionally, we've used /boot/msdos for the MBR mount point for the SD
images that we produced. For GPT and bsdinstall, we've used
/boot/efi. Migrate to using /boot/efi for MBR as well and add a
/boot/msdos -> /boot/efi symlink for compatibility (which may disappear
before 14.0, but will remain on the stable branches).

When we first created the arm images, there was no EFI booting and the
FAT partion on an MBR image was used to hold the firmware, uboot.bin,
SoC config files and ubldr.  When we transitioned to uboot with EFI, we
put the loader files in the same partition. Later we standardized on
/boot/efi at about the same time we added GPT support to the RE produced
images. We left the MRB case as /boot/msdos for legacy reasons and since
it wasn't always EFI. Later, we dropped support of non-EFI booting on
the RE produced images, so the duality of /boot/msdos diminished even
more. Since so little secondary meaning remains, putting it all in
/boot/efi standardizes the location and reflects the RE images
better as using efi-only booting.

In addition, always label the msdosfs partion 'efi'. While a small
misnomer on some systems that store other files in the ESP, it was
requested in review for more consistency for similar reasons to the
mountpoint rename. There was no way to have an 'alias' or 'second label'
here, so this breaks compatibility. Since the images are self-contained,
this was judged to be an acceptable change.
