MFC r326276:
various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task.
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.
No functional change intended.

Add EFI support to the installer. This requires that the kernel provide a sysctl to determine what firmware is in use. This sysctl does not exist yet, so the following blocks are in front of the wheels: - I've provisionally called this "hw.platform" after the equivalent thing on PPC - The logic to check the sysctl is short-circuited to always choose BIOS. There's a comment in the top of the file about how to turn this off.
If IA64 acquired a boot1.efifat-like thing (probably with very few modifications), the same code could be adapted there.

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!
