post-install packaging cloud provider images.
Add a 'gce-package.sh' script to generate the final output
image ready for upload to the GCE platform. Right now, this
is the only image that has a specific output format (GNU-tar),
and this implementation is expected to be temporary.
This is not directly connected to the other release targets.

Add CLOUDINSTALL variable to automatically generate the
actual list of install targets. While here, rename the
cloud-specific names from 'vm-' to 'cw-' to avoid naming
collisions.
Add AZURE_DISK, GCE_DISK, and OPENSTACK_DISK output file
variables.
Add 'cloudware-install' to the 'install' target.

Separately document multi-threaded support to keep the

libarchive(3) doesn't support the new liblzma API yet, but this change
allows us to enable multi-threaded xz compression.
``make release'' should now finish in half the time on a machine with
several cores and fast disks (our typical build server).
This behaviour only applies when building a release and it doesn't
affect buildworld/installworld. To disable threaded xz compression,
set XZ_THREADS=1.

update paths; and include everything in the "base" distribution.
The "games" distribution being optional made sense when there were more
games and we had small disks; but the "games-like" games were moved into
the ports tree a dozen years ago and the remaining "utility-like" games
occupy less than 0.001% of my laptop's small hard drive. Meanwhile every
new user is confronted by the question "do you want games installed" when
they they try to install FreeBSD.
The next steps will be:
2. Removing punch card (bcd, ppt), phase-of-moon (pom), clock (grdc), and
caesar cipher (caesar, rot13) utilities. I intend to keep fortune, factor,
morse, number, primes, and random, since there is evidence that those are
still being used.
3. Merging src/games into src/usr.bin.
This change will not be MFCed.

ensuring VMCONFIG is not a character device before it

While here, be sure to exit if usage() is called.
This should effectively be no-op, but the usage() output
was discovered while investigating a larger issue.

With the previous layout, the majority of the release
notes were categorized under one main "What's New"
section, which in addition to making the page difficult
to parse relevant bits, also had a few rendering issues,
such as 'Note' blocks visually not appearing as if they
pertain to a particular change.
This change removes the "What's New" section, integrating
it with the introduction. In addition, each section now
provides a brief description of its contents, broken down
further into a subsection for each "topic", making it much
easier to find a specific topic in the page.

Replace 'system' with 'release' in CLEANFILES, and add
'disc1' to CLEANDIRS.
Ensure the 'dvd' target depends on 'packagesystem'.
Fix 'mini-memstick.img' prerequisite, which should be the
'bootonly' target, not 'disc1' (previously 'system').
Use .TARGET as the target installation directory for the
disc1.iso and bootonly.iso images, which now expand to
'disc1' and 'bootonly' respectively, mimicking the behavior
of the 'dvd' target.
Remove '@true' from the 'release' target, and instead use
'touch ${.TARGET}' to prevent multiple iterations of
'make release' from clobbering previously-built installer

This is a temporary workaround until the elftoolchain's version
of strip is fixed:
The previous (GNU) strip, when acting on a file with multiple links,
would modify the one and only file in place (which means creating
a new stripped copy, and then writing it back to the original).
The new version from elftoolchain creates the new file and then
unlinks the old one and renames the new.
With multiple hard links, the original remains alive. In the /stand
directory, this ends up creating 80+ copies of the same file.
not removed or truncated to a zero-size file, which
if used to create more than one disk image format, can
result in accidental pollution of the target formatted
disk image.
Instead of using a single VMBASE image (vm.img, by
default), use a single base file for each format, named
as VMFORMAT.img, which produces VMBASE.VMFORMAT as the
final formatted image.
