  Modified files:
    usr.sbin/sysinstall  install.c label.c sysinstall.h 
    usr.sbin/sysinstall/help partition.hlp 
  Log:
  Reformulate how sysinstall handles file system options in the label
  editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option.
  
  (1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and
      NEWFS_CUSTOM.  Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use
      soft updates on an msdos file system.
  
  (2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from
      replacing it.  Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for
      NEWFS_UFS.  If we entirely replace the command line provided by
      sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM.  'N' will now add additional
      arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely,
      but will prompt the user with their current command line as a
      starting point.
  
  (3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options
      provided by the user at label-time.  Right now, this means selecting
      UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag.  Drop in some variables
      to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't
      expose them now.
  
  This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing
  of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user,
  but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command
  line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor.  It
  also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and
  define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections.
  For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root
  only on non-i386 systems.
  
  While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes,
  since newfs has much more sensible defaults now.
