GPT scheme. UEFI needs to know the unique partition GUID
with GPT, which changes each time. Specifically, the QEMU
EFI BIOS file has this hard-coded.[1]
Since the GPT labels are now unavailable, unconditionally
label the root filesystem as 'rootfs' with newfs(8), since
it does not hurt anything anywhere else. For the arm64 case,
'/' is mounted from /dev/ufs/rootfs; for all other VM images,
'/' is mounted from /dev/gpt/rootfs.
Unfortunately, since the /dev/gpt/swapfs label is also lost,
set NOSWAP=1 for the arm64/aarch64 images. This is temporary,
until I figure out a scalable solution to this. But, a certain
piece of softare was written "very fast", and ended up living
for 15 years. We can deal with this for a week or so.

building FreeBSD/arm64 VM images and memstick.img installation
medium:
r281786, r281788, r281792:
r281786:
Add support for building arm64/aarch64 virtual machine images.
r281788:
Copy amd64/make-memstick.sh to arm64/make-memstick.sh for
aarch64 memory stick images.
Although arm64 does not yet have USB support, the memstick
image should be bootable with certain virtualization tools,
such as qemu.
r281792:
Add a buildenv_setup() prototype, intended to be overridden as
needed.
For example, the arm64/aarch64 build needs devel/aarch64-binutils,
so buildenv_setup() in the release.conf for this architecture
handles the installation of the port before buildworld/buildkernel.

copy the userland from one md(4)-mounted filesystem to a clean
filesystem to prevent remnants of files that were added and
removed from resulting in an unclean filesystem. When newfs(8)
creates the first filesystem with journaled soft-updates enabled,
the /.sujournal file in the new filesystem cannot be overwritten
by the /.sujournal in the original filesystem.
To avoid this particular error case, do not enable journaled
soft-updates when creating the md(4)-backed filesystems, and
instead use tunefs(8) to enable journaled soft-updates after
the new filesystem is populated in vm_copy_base().
While here, fix a long standing bug where the build environment
/boot files were used by mkimg(1) when creating the VM disk
images by using the files in .OBJDIR.
