    vmimage.subr: metalog_add generated databases
    
    The files /etc/login.conf.db, /etc/passwd, /etc/pwd.db, /etc/spwd.db,
    and /var/db/services.db are generated at install time.  When VM images
    are built using installworld, there is Makefile code which emits the
    necessary METALOG lines; but the pkgbase triggers do not do this.  This
    resulted in VM images which lacked these essential database files.
    
    VM images are currently the only place where this matters, since this
    issue is specific to non-root image builds uusing pkgbase.  (In some
    point in the future we will start building release ISO iamges from
    pkgbase, at which point it will be a problem there as well.)
    
    The long-term solution for this is probably to teach the relevant
    database-creating tools to emit METALOG lines; but for now, just log
    the necessary files from vmimage.subr.
