Glen Barber e07ca0423d Implement an evil workaround that prevents UFS/MSDOS labels from being
written to disk with newfs(8) and newfs_msdosfs(8).

When iterating through snapshot builds in serial, it is possible for
a build failure to leave stale md(4) devices behind, in some cases, they
could have a UFS or MSDOS filesystem label assigned.

If the md(4) is not destroyed (or not able to be destroyed, as has
happened recently due to my own fault), the filesystem label that
already exists can interfere with a new md(4) device that is targeted to
have the same label.

This behavior, although admittedly a logic error in the wrapper build
scripts, has caused intermittent reports (in particular with the armv6
builds) of missing UFS/MSDOSFS labels, causing the image to fallback to
the mountroot prompt.  This appears to only happen when the backing
md(4) device is destroyed before the calling umount(8) on the target
mount, after which the UFS/MSDOSFS label persists.

The workaround is this:  If EVERYTHINGISFINE is set to non-empty value,
check for an existing ufs/rootfs and msdosfs/MSDOSBOOT filesystem label
in arm_create_disk(), and rm(1) them if they exist.

The EVERYTHINGISFINE variable is chosen because it is used in exactly
one other place - release/Makefile.mirrors - and there are big scary
warnings at the top of that file as well that it should *not* be used
under normal circumstances.  This should not destroy a build machine
that also uses '/dev/ufs/rootfs' as the UFS label, and I have verified
in extensive local testing that the destroyed label is recreated when
the md(4) is unmounted/mounted, but this really should not be enabled
by anyone.

Having said all that, I absolutely *do* plan MFC this to stable/10 for
the 10.2-RELEASE cycle, as so far, I have only observed this behavior
on stable/10, but this is a temporary solution until I can unravel all
of the failure paths to properly trap them.

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree.  See build(7)
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html
for more information, including setting make(1) variables.

The `buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process.  See build(7), config(8),
and http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
for more information.

Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
`buildkernel` and `installkernel` targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory.  GENERIC is the default configuration used in release builds.
NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
