packages: Add meta-package sets

Add several metapackages which contain no files themselves, but depend
on other packages. This allows the user to install a system by using
a set like "FreeBSD-set-minimal" instead of having to know which
specific packages are required, and it means if we add more package
in the future, existing installations will get them automatically as
long as they were installed using a set.

The defined sets are significantly less granular than the actual
packages; the assumption is that users who want a very specific set of
packages installed can do that manually, while sets are intended more
for typical users who just want to install FreeBSD.

The following sets are defined:

* minimal: the set of packages required to boot the system and bring
up a multi-user UNIX system. This includes hardware support,
networking (wireless, DHCP), basic functionality like syslogd, cron
and periodic. It does not include a kernel, because the kernels are
quite large and the user might want to use a custom kernel.

sendmail and DMA are not included in minimal. Since we provide two
MTAs, the user should select which one they want, or install one from
ports. sshd is not included because it's not required for the base
system, and the user might want to install it from ports.

Some other significant subsystems (e.g. NFS, Kerberos) are also not
included.

The minimal set does not include any libraries itself, since we rely
on dependencies to pull these in. This implies it doesn't include
library manpages, which is fine, since users won't want manpages for
libraries unless they've also installed the development packages.

* devel: the compiler toolchain for building software, along with all
"-dev" packages which include header files and static libraries.

* lib32: 32-bit compatibility packages. This includes both runtime
and development packages.

* kernels: the kernel packages. For freebsd.org builds, this will be
GENERIC, GENERIC-DEBUG, etc., for custom builds it will be whatever
was set in $KERNCONF.

* base: everything else; this includes the entire base system.

For each set, also generate a <setname>-dbg set containing the debug
packages for the set.

The sets are built along with the rest of the packages using a new
script called create-sets.sh, which examines the "set" annotation in
each package and puts it in the appropriate set. This is in
anticipation of the later "groups" feature appearing in pkg itself, at
which point we can simply replace the set annotation with the group.

packages: create UCL files for package descriptions

Mechanically convert Makefile.package into individual UCL files for each
package and delete it.

packages: create UCL files for package descriptions

Mechanically convert Makefile.package into individual UCL files for each
package and delete it.

Move handling of the 'comment' and 'desc' fields from generate-ucl.sh to
template.ucl; this provides the default values for some packages which
don't have a UCL file yet.
