Diff to bsdinstall/zfsboot and bsdinstall.8

When I normally install systems I do not like to give the full disk to the
zroot partition. If only because I want to use the remainder of the disk for
pools of a different ZMIRRO/ZRAID type.
ATM this is only doable by first creating an absurde SWAP size. And once booted
fix that. Disadvantage is that the freespace ends between swap and zroot, which
is not all to nice.

This patch add a extra option in the zfsboot menu that allows to deviate from
the MAX setting. MAX setting gives the current standard behaviour.
