Add /etc/rc.d/newaliases

[brooks]

Summary

This script runs on firstboot and runs newaliases if /etc/mail/aliases
exists and /etc/mail/aliases.db does not. This allows image creation
scripts to avoid running newaliases.

Due to the switch to dma as the default mailier, this is a no-op in
practice unless the image has configured an alternate mailer.

/etc/rc.d/sendmail has the ability to create/update aliases.db, but it
is disabled by default even if sendmail is enabled.

Hmm, is this really sendmail specific? My thought was that this should be installed anytime the /usr/bin/newaliases binary (which is a hard link to mailwrapper) is installed.

Indeed, it should be in utilities.

Move script into the default package (rc).

Be a little more friendly to installations without mail bits. It's
unclear that this really matters, but it does appear to be at least
minimally possible to install a system without email support.

[brooks]

I've put the script in the rc package rather then adding a new utilities section for now.

I'm fine with this, but with newaliases a NOP with dma as you point out, could we just stop invoking newaliases in the VM image build scripts and nothing further?

Why is this one quoted but /etc/mail/aliases above not? I think neither needs quotes.
