bf1e70b230 Reformulate how sysinstall handles file system options in the label
editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.

(1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
    NEWFS_CUSTOM.  Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
    soft updates on an msdos file system.

(2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
    replacing it.  Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
    NEWFS_UFS.  If we entirely replace the command line provided by
    sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM.  'N' will now add additional
    arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
    but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
    starting point.

(3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
    provided by the user at label-time.  Right now, this means selecting
    UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag.  Drop in some variables
    to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
    expose them now.

This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor.  It
also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
only on non-i386 systems.

While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.

4d0032bde9 o Expand the text describing the Security options menu.
o Move nfs_reserved_port_only out of security profiles (where it was
  set somewhat improperly) to the Security options menu directly.
  Previously, the variable was set to true for Moderate, but not for
  Extreme, which is at best inconsistent.
o Update the Security Profiles help file to remove reference to the
  NFS reserved port.

o Note that the kernel currently defaults the sysctl to '0', but
  sysinstall has changed it to '1' as a default as of late; however,
  rc.conf sets the value to NO as the default.  This change brings
  them relatively into sync.

614af3941d o Reduce the number of offered security profiles, as we now have a more
conservative default, and actually prompt specifically for inetd rather
  than handling it as a side effect of the security profile.  Update the
  help file to reflect this change.
o Rename "Fascist" to "Extreme" in the source code, to match the names
  presented to the user.
o Remove portmap and inetd from profile management.  Portmap is now
  disabled by default, but automatically turned on if a feature requires
  it (such as NFS, etc).

This is an MFC candidate for 4.4-RELEASE.
