rGebc6ff8db176: bsdinstall: Improve message for existing FreeBSD EFI entry

Summary

When reinstalling FreeBSD bsdinstall reported "There are multiple FreeBSD EFI boot entries." This sounds like something went wrong in the past. Clarify that there may be only one existing entry, which is not surprising for a reinstall.

usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig
77	"EFI boot entries" --> "EFI boot manager entries" maybe? That way it's clear what we're talking about. Otherwise, I love the new wording.. it's a big improvement.
