EC2: Don't enable firstboot_pkgs in small flavour
The EC2 "base" flavour installs the devel/py-awscli package at boot
time by default; we don't do this in the "small" flavour, so the
default behaviour was to update the FreeBSD-ports repository and
then do nothing with it.
Turn off firstboot_pkgs by default; if someone is using the "small"
flavour of AMIs and wants to install packages at instance launch
time, they simply need to add 'firstboot_pkgs_enable="YES"' to
/etc/rc.conf (which they must already be editing via user-data, in
order to provide the list of packages they want installed).

Relnotes: EC2 "small" images now have firstboot_pkgs_enable="NO".
