    freebsd-update: improve BE creation feature

    This addresses one nit and one bug in the BE creation feature of
    freebsd-update:

    The nit addressed is that it currently only names the BEs after the
    userland version, but the kernel version may be higher.  After this
    change, we request both and pass them through sort(1) to choose the
    highest.  This is especially helpful if a freebsd-update patch touched
    one but not the other.

    The bug fixed is that roots updated that are not located at '/', e.g.,
    by using -b or -j, will no longer create boot environments
    automatically.  There's a very low chance these will actually change the
    BE in any meaningful way, anyways.  It could make sense in the future
    to allow an argument-override to create the BE anyways if someone comes
    up with a non-standard setup, e.g., where a jail is an important part of
    their boot environment on an appliance or some such setup.

    Half of this patch is submitted by delphij@, the other half kevans@.
