RISC-V has the same booting requirements as arm64 (loader.efi, no legacy
boot options), so generated images for both architectures have the same
partition layout.

With this last piece in place, make -C /usr/src/release release.iso is
finally able to run in a jail. This was not possible before because
msdosfs cannot be mounted inside a jail.

tools/boot/install-boot.sh was assuming that if a device was passed in,
it should operate on the current system and run efibootmgr etc. to
update the boot manager. However, rootgen.sh passes a md(4) device and
not a fixed disk.
Add a -u option to install-boot.sh to tell it to update the system
in-place and run efibootmgr etc.
Also, source install-boot.sh in rootgen.sh to allow it to find and
call make_esp_file etc. And pass the loader file to make_esp_file instead
of a directory name.

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.

this will be installed into /usr/sbin, but for now it's just used for
the boot loader regression script. It's still a bit green, and likely
will get edge cases wrong still. It's also x86 centric at the moment,
but will be enhanced shortly for u-boot, CHRP PowerPC and other
methods.
