support for the VTOC8 partitioning scheme by default. Remove the option
from the installer, as it is unsupported on all installer images

Too many version of UEFI firmware (so far only confirmed on amd64)
don't really support efibootmgr selection of boot. That's the most
reliable, when it works, since there's no guesswork. However, many do
not save, unmolested, the variables that efibootmgr sets, so as a
fallback we also install loader.efi as bootXXX.efi (where XXX is
either aa64 or x64) if it doesn't already exist in /efi/boot on the
ESP. The standard only defines this for removable devices, but it's
almost ubiquitously used as a fallback. Many BIOSes implement a drive
selection feature that takes over the efibootmgr protocol, rendinering
it useless (either generally, or for those vendors not on the short
list). bootxxx.efi works around this. However, we don't install it
unconditionally there, as that breaks some popular multi-boot setups.

Repeating the default WARNS here makes it slightly more difficult to
experiment with default WARNS changes, e.g. if we did something absolutely
bananas and introduced a WARNS=7 and wanted to try lifting the default to
that.
Drop most of them; there is one in the blake2 kernel module, but I suspect
it should be dropped -- the default WARNS in the rest of the build doesn't
currently apply to kernel modules, and I haven't put too much thought into
whether it makes sense to make it so.
Prune dead mirrors from the list of mirrors in bsdconfig and bsdinstall.
All these return NXDOMAIN when trying to resolve them.

If certctl is installed on the system we're configuring, do a certctl
rehash.
Note that certctl may not be present if the world we've installed was built
either WITHOUT_OPENSSL or WITHOUT_CAROOT. In this scenario, we don't
currently see if the host has a certctl as this may be an indication that
the system *shouldn't* have certs installed into /etc/ssl.

This resulted in the partitioning step failing if either of the
"Auto (UFS)" or "Manual" options were selected.
Reason: partedit was attempting to open a directory (TMPDIR) read/write,
which resulted in errno(2) 21 - EISDIR - Is a directory.

When using a gmirror, entries in /dev can be removed. So instead of using
kern.disks, get the list of disks from "gpart status -sg" instead.
We assume that any 'efi' partition that can't be mounted as msdosfs should
be used as an ESP. However, the ESP on the CD/DVD can't be mounted read-write
and so was being treated as if unformatted. Try the mount as read-only
instead, to catch cases like this.

Currently, the installer uses pre-created 800KB FAT12 filesystems that
it dd's onto the ESP partition.
This changeset improves that by having the installer generate a FAT32
filesystem directly onto the ESP using newfs_msdos and then copying
loader.efi into /EFI/freebsd.
For live installs it then runs efibootmgr to add a FreeBSD boot entry
in the BIOS.
