This allows for GCE consumers to easily detect the latest major
version of FreeBSD when using the gcloud command line utility.
To ensure snapshot builds do not conflict with release-style
builds (ALPHA, BETA, RC, RELEASE), the '-snap' suffix is appended
to the GCE image family name.

UEFI booting requires an EFI System Partition (ESP). On most storage devices
this will be in a specific partition type. To allow booting from CD/ISO
filesystems, UEFI will look for an ESP in the form of a FAT filesystem image
embedded in the image. Historically FreeBSD has added one of these to its
amd64 ISO images but marked it as simply another i386 boot image. Luckily for
us most UEFI implementations are rather forgiving and work this out for us.
This change adds the ability to mark a boot image as being a UEFI image. It
also modifies our ISO generation to use this marking for the UEFI image we
embed.

kernel.ucl uses a hardcoded boot/kernel for kldxref, which is the incorrect
directory when we're installing extra kernels that aren't the "default"
kernel (placed at boot/kernel).
Fix this by instead using a new %KERNELDIR% that we now replace in
Makefile.inc1 with "kernel" for the default kernel and "kernel.${_kernel}"
for these extra kernels so that, e.g. /boot/kernel.SHIVA, will get properly
kldxref'd upon update and avoid outdated linker.hints.

The Pine64 root filesystem was incorrectly created directly on the MBR
partition. This can cause the loader to get confused when loading the
kernel from this filesystem.
The loader will see this as a small partition meaning later checks to
ensure it doesn't read past the end of the disk incorrectly report a
failure. This seems to work mostly by accident with the released images as
they are smaller than the reported size, however after growfs has run the
image may no longer boot.

Since Amazon provides NTP servers within their network, this should
be far superior to using the default NTP pools; and since the service
is provided by Amazon there's very little risk in enabling it by
default. (If someone is able to compromise Amazon's NTP servers and
exploit them to attack EC2 instances, they would almost certainly be
able to compromise EC2 instances even without ntpd running...)

Relnotes: EC2 instances now keep their clocks synchronized using
the Amazon Time Sync Service (aka. NTP).
EC2 instances are normally launched with an SSH public key specified,
which is then used for logging in (by default, as 'ec2-user'). Having
ChallengeResponseAuthentication enabled (as FreeBSD's default sshd_config
does) has no functional effect in a new EC2 instance, since you can't log
in using a password until a password has been set -- but having this
enabled results in alerts from automated scanning tools which can detect
that sshd advertises support for keyboard-interactive logins (since they
can't detect that accounts have no password set).
EC2 users who want to use passwords to log in to their instances will need
to set 'ChallengeResponseAuthentication yes' in FreeBSD 12.0 and later.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

The original change was dealing with the build wanting to run a newer
install(1) that was not yet installed. The solution to look into the private
legacy directory of the existing build conflicts with 2 upcoming features: a
changed OBJDIR format, and splitting the host tools into arch-dependent and
arch-independent directories. Rather than hardcoding and changing the paths in
this script, just let kernel-toolchain do the work, while disabling much of the
meat. With -j15 this finishes in 25 seconds for me and 117 seconds with -j1.
All that is really needed is bootstrap-tools, but the system is not currently
written in a way that all previous dependent steps will have ran. The previous
steps, such as _worldtmp, are being reworked and renamed and so cannot be
relied upon to be right.
