Patch against -CURRENT r297697

Hi,

Following this post :

https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2015-August/048141.html

(see "Pushing the limits"), here is a patch to enable a new boot type called "BIOS+UEFI". This special type will enable generic installations by creating both freebsd-boot and efi boot partitions, allowing the machine to reboot either in BIOS mode or in UEFI mode.

This patch also fixes creation of /tmp and /var/tmp to avoid problems with unattended installations (this will conflict with Bug 208568 - reduce requirements for zfs filesystems in zfsboot for unattended installations)

Best regards,

Ganael Laplanche.

Log:
  Add a new installation type to bsdinstall/zfsboot: BIOS+UEFI

  Installs both pmbr+gptzfsboot as well as boot1.efifat in separate partitions
  The resulting system can be booted with either UEFI or BIOS/CSM.
  Preference is controlled by the user's firmware boot settings.

  This is now the default for zfsboot installs
