The variable used for the checklist's default value needs to correspond
to the rc.conf variable as that's what's being parsed to determine them.
In the case of local_unbound it's missing the _enable suffix and thus
always defaults to off on revisit.
Fixes: 58eb9abb31 ("Add a line to the post-installation configuration dialog to enable the local_unbound service.")
There are a few issues here, some of which are hiding others. The first
is that we don't use double quotes around the command substitution so
every word in the conf file is treated as a separate argument to eval,
resulting in spaces being used in place of newlines and thus comments in
the file commenting out the rest of the file, not just to the end of
their line. In particular, we insert one comment just before the dumpdev
entry (the final one in the file) and so we never see dumpdev as set,
and thus set a default value of on for the menu.
The second issue is that, for dumpdev, it takes a value of AUTO not YES
when set, but we don't replace this with on when eval'ing, so then end
up giving AUTO to bsddialog which is interpreted the same as off (which
seems to match GPL dialog). Thus handle AUTO like YES otherwise it will
always appear as unchecked on revisit.
The final issue is that our case-insensitive YES/NO (and now AUTO)
replacements have no word boundaries around them so match the middle of
words too. As it happens this doesn't matter in practice at the moment,
but it could in future; currently the only effect is that it rewrites
moused_nondefault_enable to moused_offndefault_enable, but since this
variable is never read, only written based on moused(_enable) this is
harmless, but we should fix it in case a service comes along in future
that does get affected by it.
This installer option is currently totally useless, as it ends up
creating an ntpd_sync_on_start_enable="YES" entry in rc.conf, not an
ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" entry, as is the correct name. This can also be
noticed by revisiting the services menu, which parses the previously
written rc.conf.services file to set variables governing the default
menu entry values so that selecting OK regenerates the same file, as the
menu entry will use the correct variable name and thus think the entry
was not selected last time, defaulting back to off and losing the
setting.
Thus, add a special case in the loop for this option. The only other
entry that doesn't follow the *_enable pattern is dumpdev (even moused
does, it just also sets a second variable), but that also deviates in
terms of being explicitly set either way and using AUTO rather than YES,
hence why ntpd_sync_on_start follows a different pattern here and is
special-cased rather than introducing a whole new variable that governs
behaviour outside the loop.

* change current NTP services offered by the FreeBSD Installer;
* no longer offer ntpdate to be enabled and started on boot;
* start offering the option to make ntpd set the date and time on boot itself.
The motivation for this change comes from the ntpdate(8) manpage:
Note: The functionality of this program is now available in the ntpd(8)
program. See the -q command line option in the ntpd(8) page. After a
suitable period of mourning, the ntpdate utility is to be retired from
this distribution.

bsdinstall(8) has an option to enable moused support.
However, if it is not selected, moused is still started
through the configuration of nondefault devices.
So, automatically add the moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
setting to rc.conf unless moused support is selected.

When you install a computer for the first time, the date in the CMOS sometimes
not accurate and you need to ntpdate as ntpd will fail a the time difference
is too big.
Add an option in bsdinstall to enable ntpdate that will do that for us.

The `local: Not in a function' is obvious, and was introduced by myself in
SVN revision 256348.
The latter two are caused by the attempt to use "\" to continue the line
after using the ">>" redirect. This appears to attempt to write a file with
the name " " in the current directory and subsequently attempts to execute
the file that was originally intended for writing (which is not executable;
hence the `Permission denied'). That was introduced in SVN r228192 about
2 years ago, apparently unnoticed until I started going over the debug
outputs very carefully.

Currently supported platforms are sparc64, pc98, i386, amd64, powerpc, and
powerpc64. Integration into the build system will occur in the coming
weeks.
Merging with pc-sysinstall will use this code as a frontend, while
temporarily retaining the interactive partition editor here. This work
will be done in parallel with improvements on this code and release
integration.
Thanks to all who have provided testing and comments!
