Add a new mode to the scripted partition editor for variant disk names. If the disk parameter "DEFAULT" is set in place of an actual device name, or no disk is specified for the PARTITIONS parameter, the installer will follow the logic used in the automatic-partitioning mode, in which it will either provide a selection dialog for one of several disks if several are present or automatically select it if there is only one. This simplifies the creation of fully-automatic installation media for hardware or VMs with varying disk names. Suggested by: Egoitz Aurrekoetxea <egoitz@sarenet.es> MFC after: 3 weeks Relnotes: yes

A series of changes tested together as a whole: + Add a `-D FILE" command-line option for overriding the path to the bsdinstall log file (BSDINSTALL_LOG env var). + Document new `-D FILE' in the man page for bsdinstall. + If FILE in `-D FILE' begins with a +, debug output goes to stdout (interleaved between dialog(1) invocations/output) as well as to FILE (minus the leading + of course). + If BSDINSTALL_LOG cannot be written, then debugging is disabled (except in the case of a leading + in the pathname, wherein debug will still be printed to stdout). + Update source code formatting style. + Fix a dangling participle ("Begun ..." -> "Began ...") + Rewrite the docsinstall script (was necessary to abate direct dependency on BSDINSTALL_LOG (instead, use fault-tolerant bsdconfig framework which displays appropriate errors for package management). NB: docsinstall is still using pkg(8) after this change. + Add additional debug output for dhclient/rtsol/wpa_cliscan + Display script errors in a textbox rather than just on stdout + Update many coments. + Add new f_show_err() API call (like f_show_msg but changes the dialog title to "Error")(see bsdconfig's `common.subr'). + Add new f_eval_catch() API call for executing a command via eval but not before logging the command to debug. Several example cases documented in API header for function in bsdconfig's `common.subr'. + Fix dialog auto-sizing when launched as an rvalue to a pipe for indirected scripts (previously would default to 24x80 sizing in this case, now it can autosize to full size even when in a pipe chain). + Fix bug in f_snprintf if $format argument began with "-"; printf would misinterpret as a flag. (this is in bsdcofig's `strings.subr'). + Add accompanying f_sprintf() and f_vsprintf() to go along with already existing f_snprintf() and f_vsnprintf() (see bsdconfig's `strings.subr'). + Remove some unnecessary default ZFS datasets from the automatic "zfsboot" script. Such as: /usr/ports/distfiles /usr/ports/packages /usr/obj /var/db /var/empty /var/mail and /var/run (these can all be created as-needed once the system is installed). + Remove setuid=off for /usr/home (as discussed from last round of CFT). + Fix some i18n string violations in "zfsboot". + Bolster debugging output in "zfsboot". + Fix some string quoting issues in "zfsboot". + Fix some variable scope issues in "zfsboot". + Change "Create" to "Install" in "zfsboot" main menu. + Increase error checking in "zfsboot" (type-check arguments and such). + Add call to "graid destroy" killing automatic metadata (part of the series of pedantic destructions we do when bootstrapping a new/naked disk). + Make judicious use of new f_eval_catch() in "zfsboot". + Fixup some variable names for consistency (zfsboot). + Fix an underride syntax parameter expansion folly (zfsboot). + Confirm layout if not explicitly chosen when blindly proceeding (no longer have to touch anything on the ZFS menu if it scares you, just choose the omnibus "Install" option at the top and you'll be prompted to select vdev type and disks in the layout confirmation dialog). + Change numbered menu items to alphabetic for more efficient navigation. + Consolidate vdev selection and disk selection into a single stateful menu which performs validation and allows backing out to each previous menu as you go deeper. + Redesign the ``Last Chance'' dialog (still using the same colors, but make it conform to a tolerable width and make disks appear in a block- quote style indented region). + Fix a bug wherein we used the a lowercase variable name by accident (actual variable name declared as all-uppercase) at the time of initializing fstab(5) (not believed to cause any issues though). + Update the geli setup infobox for each provider being initialized (not just at the onset -- since each ``geli init'' causes kernel messages to push our infobox off-screen).
