Restore bsdconfig API to handle hostname dialog because bsddialog 1.0
matches all features required by bsdconfig(1). Implicitly this commit
restores also Xdialog(1) for this script.
This commit reverts:
- "bsdinstall hostname: Replace dialog with bsddialog"
6368dcb292
- "bsdinstall(8) hostname: Update for bsddialog 0.3"
5f3ec44e7e.
The script continues to use bsddialog(1) by default via $DIALOG in
bsdconfig(1).
If the directory is empty we fail with a message regarding mkdir in which
the empty directory can't be seen because it is not quoted.
Show a nice message so the user knows what is going on.

It is possible to restart the installation process upon errors, when
installing normally through the `auto` script, or when setting up a jail
with the `jail` script. However, some values obtained interactively from
the user or guessed by some scripts are kept in the environment when
restarting the process; this makes it impossible to run some steps as
expected after the restart.
For instance, if a bad choice of mirror was made in the `mirrorselect`
phase, restarting the installer remembers the choice made, and will
never prompt for a different one. Rebooting is then the only easy way
out of this situation.
This change only affects the `jail` script for now, as otherwise there
is no way to tell if the value had been specifically set by the user
before starting bsdinstall.

This adds a "Finish" button to the finalconfig step, replacing the
previous first choice, which was to "apply configuration and exit".
The new button is the default action, while the "OK" button is renamed
to "Select".
Also, if an unknown option is chosen, the code flow prompts the user
again instead of exiting.

bsddialog(1) uses getopt_long(3) to parse command line argument list.
Add '--' to avoid errors caused by arguments (menu items) begin
with '-'.
The change is compatible with dialog(1) and Xdialog(1).
Throughout the bsdinstall script fd 3 is used by f_dprintf (set through
$TERMINAL_STDOUT_PASSTHRU). In several places in the bsdinstalls scripts,
we use fd 3 to juggle stdout when calling out to other tools, which can
cause the installer to fail with a "Bad file descriptor" error when
f_dprintf attempts to use it.

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.
Fixes: c153a35bfd ("bsdinstall: replace ntpdate by ntpd_sync_on_start")
fetchmissingdists naturally sets BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR to a directory in
the new filesystem that it can write fetched distfiles to. As a result,
BSDINSTALL_DISTSITE was incorrectly set to the scratch space on /mnt for
the call to distfetch when grabbing local distfiles, and it would
subsequently fail.
Switch to using the copy of BSDINSTALL_DISTDIR that we stashed off
coming into fetchmissingdists; this one is in-fact set to the path where
the local distfiles are stored.
Patch suggested by jrtc27.

The motivation for this change comes from the ntpdate(8) manpage:
Note: The functionality of this program is now available in the ntpd(8)

suitable period of mourning, the ntpdate utility is to be retired from
