Add a scripting frontend. Documentation and release(7) support coming later.

Scripts take the form:

------------------------------------
PARTITIONS=ada0
DISTRIBUTIONS="kernel.txz base.txz ports.txz"

#!/bin/sh
echo "sshd_enable=YES" >> /etc/rc.conf
pkg add puppet
echo "System setup complete"
------------------------------------

The second part of the script (beginning with #!) is run in the newly
installed system after the installation onto ada0 (with default partitioning,
see scriptedpart for more complicated scenarios) is complete.

Split netconfig into three parts:
- netconfig - what auto will call which in turn will check for
IPv4 and IPv6 to be available and ask the user to configure it
by calling
- netconfig_ipv4 doing DHCP and static IPv4 addresses, and
- netconfig_ipv6 doing rtsol and static IPv6 addresses,
and then checking, querying and updating resolv.conf upon return.
Both DHCP and rtsol (in the future) might update resolv.conf already so
we seed ourselves from that file if available.

Add mirror selection for FTP installs. To support TBEMD installs
(e.g. powerpc64), this looks in a slightly different default path than now,
specifying both $MACHINE and $MACHINE_ARCH:
MIRROR/pub/FreeBSD/releases/`uname -p`/`uname -m`/`uname -r`

How to handle TBEMD properly probably merits some more discussion, but,
since no such 9.0-CURRENT distfiles exist at the moment, all existing
mirrors presently fail anyway.

Add generation of an installation manifest containing SHA256 checksums as
well as package descriptions and add code in the installer to check the
checksums.

Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with
pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.
Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386

Import bsdinstall. This is meant to be (eventually in conjunction with
pc-sysinstall) a replacement for sysinstall in the 9.0 release and beyond.
Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming
weeks.

Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while
temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work
will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release
integration.

Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
