[PATCH] bsdinstall: fix distfetch while calling bsdinstall as script target

while an unattended installation of FreeBSD, it came to our attention that a
missing task was preventing bsdinstall to fully install FreeBSD if one wants to
use the "script" target.

    script script    Runs the installation script at script.    See SCRIPTING
                     for more information on this target.

for quite a time ago, I used to always made distfiles available under a DISTDIR
in order to avoid getting into any ftp mirror (as I built my own base and
kernel and hosted them in a private repository).

this patch fixes are based on the following use case:

  " as someone wanting to install FreeBSD in an unattended way, I would like to
be able to perform unattended installation of FreeBSD using the script target
even if there's no distfile available under BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR beforehand "
