Some BIOSes have trouble booting from GPT in non-UEFI mode. This is
commonly reported with Lenovo laptops, including my x220. As we do not
currently support booting FreeBSD/i386 via UEFI there's no reason to
prefer GPT.
The "vestigial swap partition" was added in r265017 to work around an
issue with loader's GPT support, so we should not need it when using
MBR.
We may want to make the same change to amd64, although the issue there is
mitigated by such systems booting via UEFI in the common case.

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.

There may be some very sharp edges here while refactoring.
- Move amd64/mk-vmimage.sh -> scripts/mk-vmimage.sh.
- Remove vm-base target from Makefile.vm.
- In vm-image target, use getopts flags for argument passing.
- Create tools/vmimage.subr, containing default and prototype

run in this order:
vm_install_base()
vm_extra_install_base()
vm_extra_install_packages()
vm_extra_install_ports()
vm_extra_enable_services()
vm_extra_pre_umount()
vm_create_disk()

For now, this target is not directly connected to the

The 'vm-azure' target invokes {amd64,i386}/mk-azure.sh,
which does the heavy lifting to produce proper VHDs.
mk-azure.sh uses a configuration file, defaulting to
tools/azure.conf if otherwise unset.

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
