585cee353e Fix a couple of issues with -F:
- Fix ALWAYS_INSTALL to take precedence over the FreeBSD ID checks.
  In particular, always install a file where the only change was
  the FreeBSD ID even if -F is specified.
- Fix the -F option in the case that the only upstream change is a
  change in the FreeBSD ID and the local file is removed.
- Add tests for these two cases.

337932e49d Add a pre-world mode of updating similar to the -p option that can be
passed to mergemaster.  In this mode, only changes to /etc/master.passwd
and /etc/group are merged to /etc.  In addition, it uses a temporary
tree to stage these changes rather than overwriting the existing
'current' and 'previous' trees so that a full update can be run after
a normal installworld has completed.

46d8b213e4 Sort option flags and fix the width of the options list. This is a purely
mechanical change, no content changes.

2b8d56f3cf The etcupdate utility is a tool for managing updates to files that are
not updated as part of `make installworld' such as files in /etc.  It
manages updates by doing a three-way merge of changes made to these files
against the local versions.  It is also designed to minimize the amount
of user intervention with the goal of simplifying upgrades for clusters
of machines.

The primary difference from mergemaster is that etcupdate requires less
manual work.  The primary difference from etcmerge is that etcupdate
updates files in-place similar to mergemaster rather than building a
separate /etc tree.
