Summary

Provide variables, PKG_REPOS_DIR and PKG_REPO_NAME, to allow the user to
configure the source package repository. Configure pkg to emit added
files to a metalog which gets concatenated with the main metalog
immediately before we build the root filesystem.

Looks good, one small question.

release/tools/vmimage.subr
173	Do we need to add `-o ABI` also, like 340e68fd7c0d62cac1f0876b6475a89df5065db5 Or, does ABI get set from the `-r`?

markj added inline comments.

release/tools/vmimage.subr
173	I believe it's not required, pkg will infer it from /usr/bin/uname relative to the rootdir.
