    bsdinstall: Drop "Technology preview" from package sets
    
    And refer to dist sets as "legacy."
    
    We're planning on turning off dist sets in 16.0 (the code will remain
    in the tree, but disabled by default) so we'd like to encourage users
    to install 15.2 systems using package sets in order to ease the upgrade
    path to 16.0.
