bsdinstall: skip tzsetup UTC question

During installation bsdinstall asks (via tzsetup):

> Is this machine's CMOS clock set to UTC? If it is set to local time,
> or you don't know, please choose NO here!

Most operating systems, except for Windows, use UTC in the hardware
real-time clock by default. This question from tzsetup is presumably
intended to aid in dual-boot-with-Windows configurations, but these
represent a fraction of all FreeBSD installs.

Rather than asking this question on every install just default to UTC.
Users who want to dual-boot Windows can create /etc/wall_cmos_clock.
We can look at making this smarter in the future.

bsdinstall: avoid conflicts with fd 3

Throughout the bsdinstall script fd 3 is used by f_dprintf (set through
$TERMINAL_STDOUT_PASSTHRU). In several places in the bsdinstalls scripts,
we use fd 3 to juggle stdout when calling out to other tools, which can
cause the installer to fail with a "Bad file descriptor" error when
f_dprintf attempts to use it.

This commit replaces all constructs like this:

exec 3>&1
SOME_VARIABLE=$(some command 2>&1 1>&3)
exec 3>&-

With:

exec 5>&1
SOME_VARIABLE=$(some command 2>&1 1>&5)
exec 5>&-

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!
