These images only ever worked on Apple Powermacs, which are now a very
old platform, and did so only for a very loose definition of "worked"
(they booted on a small subset of supported machines). Moreover, all
the machines they *did* boot on also would boot from a memstick made
by dd'ing an CD image to a flash drive. Since a flash drive prepared
in this way would also boot all the newer systems we support, the
memstick images were strictly less functional than the CD images, even
for booting from memory sticks.

There's not much practical difference as far as install media is
concerned but newfs creates UFSv2 by default and it is sensible to use
the contemporary UFS version.
I also intend to change makefs to create UFSv2 by default (to match
newfs) so we'll want make-memstick.sh to be explicit, rather than
relying on the host tool's default.

This Makefile relies on Makefile.fat providing the correct value for
BOOT1_MAXSIZE and BOOT1_OFFSET. Since BOOT1_OFFSET had no default value
here the build would already fail if Makefile.fat did not provide
correct values.

Also remove the now-redundant error handling that was only for makefs.
This change applies arm64's r308171 to the other make-memstick.sh

- Allow selecting debugging distribution sets during install.
- Rework bsdinstall(8) to fetch remote debug distribution sets
when they are not available on the local install medium.
- Allow selecting additional non-GENERIC kernels during install.
At present, GENERIC is still required, and installed by default.

complains about "Malformed numbers" while unpacking the dists and
what winds up on the disk isn't correct. Use this as an opportunity
to switch over to bsdcpio since at this point we don't even build
and install the gnu cpio by default. Note sysinstall needed to be
tweaked a bit (dropping tape block size setting) because it seems
bsdcpio doesn't do anything with block sizes, at least as far as
reading from archives goes. That wasn't really a problem since
installations from tape have been broken for a while and the rest
of sysinstall's tape support code will be removed shortly.
can't find fsck_4.2bsd because there was no fstab file saying what
filesystem type it is looking at so it got the filesystem type from
the disk's label. When that fails admins who haven't been in this
situation before are most likely to try "fsck -t ufs /dev/ad0s1a" because
ufs is the type used in fstab files on working systems but that also fails
complaining it can't find fsck_ufs.
This just sets it up so /stand in the MFS image (/sbin is a symlink
to /stand) includes hard links pointing fsck_4.2bsd and fsck_ufs to
fsck_ffs which is what is present in /sbin on installed systems.
