[Bug 281889] add pkgbase meta-packages for easier usage

            Bug ID: 281889
           Summary: add pkgbase meta-packages for easier usage
           Product: Base System
           Version: 14.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: misc
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: antranigv@freebsd.am

The current process of using PkgBase is to run the following

pkg install -r FreeBSD-base -g ‘*’

While this works fine, it will indeed install everything. and I mean
everything, the test suite, the debug binaries, and more.

During our “Production Users Call” meetup, Jan has suggested to use the
following

```
$pkgbase_query_small="
        %n  ~ FreeBSD-*           &&
        %n !~ *-lib32             &&
        %n !~ *-dbg               &&
        %n !~ *-dev               &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-kernel-*    &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-bootloader  &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-bsnmp       &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-clang       &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-cxgbe-tools &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-dtrace      &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-lld         &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-lldb        &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-mlx-tools   &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-rescue      &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-src*        &&
        %n !~ FreeBSD-tests
";
```

This one has a much smaller footprint, which is perfect for Jails.

I was wondering, if we can have multiple meta-packages for users.

For example, FreeBSD-world (everything, FreeBSD-base (same as base.txz),
FreeBSD-tests (for tests) -src, -dbg, etc.

And finally, we can also try having FreeBSD-jail, which would be the minimum
requirement for Jails. For example, Jails don’t need wpa_supplicant (they
could, but 99.99% of the time they don’t)

This would allow us to do 

pkg -r /path/to/jail install FreeBSD-jail

and have a nice, tidy jail.

let me know,

P.S. I just realized that “FreeBSD-jail” is already a package, it’s the jail
utilities, so a better naming might be required, like FreeBSD-mini, or
FreeBSD-jail-flavor, but I’ll leave the naming to the pros :)
