Patches to partition editor to make ESP

This is a top-level bug for installer support for "new-style" UEFI booting in
which loader.efi lives on the ESP.

I am aware as of Jan. 5 of the following issues:
- Installer needs to make/use a real ESP instead of dd'ing boot1.efifat. Patch
attached that makes or reuses one and mounts it at /efi.

- Installer needs to extract loader.efi to do. This is easily accomplished by
setting it to install to /efi/efi/blah. Two caveats:
  - This might break the upgrade path for people using boot1.efi.
  - Scripted installs are currently broken in this configuration as a result of
a bug in bsdtar when tarballs are extracted with directory entries that
including FAT mountpoints and creation/modification time setting is on.
Interactive installs are unaffected as we have a private libarchive frontend in
the installer that works around the issue.

- Installer needs to run efibootmgr in the "bsdinstall bootconfig" step.
