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

Restore make-memstick.sh back to its original state to
unbreak booting for machines that do not support GPT.
I have in-progress work to keep the MBR layout and add
the EFI partition, but it is not yet ready, and does
need at least one full release build to be certain it
does not break.

to fail to boot.
Similar to how make-memstick.sh worked on stable/8, use makefs(8)
to create the actual filesystem. Then calculate the size of the
resulting image file, create the GPT partition scheme, then dd(1)
the filesystem created with makefs(8) to the freebsd-ufs GPT
partition.
This was tested on a known-working machine[1] for regression, and
a known-not-working machine[2] to ensure the boot issue has been
resolved.

i386 and amd64. This involved moving the memstick generation script to
the arch directories from scripts/, in analogy to mkisoimages.sh. This
script was never called from /usr/src/release/Makefile, so that hasn't
been updated.
