Move EFI FAT creation to here to obviate need for the boot1.efifat file

Summary

Only call partcode_path once.

Allow FAT filesystems to be created

Allow a platform to specify a FAT filesystem is to be created. On such
platforms, make a FAT and copy files to it. This is prototype code,
and the actual code likely should call a standardized script to do
this (which, in general, this part stuff should have been done with,
but that's a bigget change.

Let the comments begin :)

The more I think of it, the more I am going to create such a script so we can also do u-boot installs in the future if we wanted (though that's even more complex a can of worms).

/tmp/junk is obviously lame and should be replaced, perhaps, with something unique. Don't know all the envs this runs in enough to say if that's absolutely needed or not.

Plus the use of sprintf instead of snprintf (or even better asprintf) makes my skin crawl, but that's how the rest of the file is written.

Sorry for this, and the other, gratuitous white space changes.

This is also bogus.

This change shouldn't be made. It's a vestige of an earlier plan.

Move all the white space changes to a separate commit
Fix some issues with returning the wrong thing
Simplify the system call (though I think we may just want to have a popen

to a script that knows all the cases and rip out most of the knowledge
from here so all creators of images / disks can use it).

You will need to use -F 16 here, since the ESP is 200MB now.

Otherwise you only get a 24MB filesystem:

newfs_msdos: warning: FAT type limits file system to 65416 sectors
/dev/md0: 65344 sectors in 4084 FAT12 clusters (8192 bytes/cluster)
BytesPerSec=512 SecPerClust=16 ResSectors=1 FATs=2 RootDirEnts=512 Sectors=65416 Media=0xf0 FATsecs=12 SecPerTrack=63 Heads=16 HiddenSecs=0

Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/md0 24M 16K 24M 0% /mnt

The framework in the install to support this ended up being a little different. The updated diff is attached.

[nwhitehorn]

Use new general FAT code.

This is missing changes for arm and arm64. They also do efi booting and have the horrific boot.efifat hack as well. At least if we support installing from them...

For arm64 we absolutely do, performing an install from memstick on arm64 functions exactly as on amd64.

[nwhitehorn]

Yes, this is a WIP. Is there anything different about ARM[64] EFI boot vs. amd64? I don't have any such hardware to test on, but I would guess this code can basically be copied and pasted.

I think this is obsoleted by my review at https://reviews.freebsd.org/D17947 ?

Overtaken by events long ago.
