yet another distrib overhaul:
- move guts of distrib/Makefile.inc to distrib/common/Makefile.distrib
(fixes problem caused by implicit include of ../Makefile.inc in certain
submake conditions triggered by makefiles not yet in tree)
- removed mkdir of ${RELEASEDIR}/*; rely upon "snap_pre" target of
etc/Makefile to create all the release directories
- renamed RELINSTALL to RELEASE_INSTALL
- renamed FLOPPYINSTDIR to FLOPPY_RELEASEDIR
- renamed MDSETDIR to MDSET_RELEASEDIR
- removed ITARGET
- move release target from top level to appropriate subdirectory
- ensure release target has correct depends
- replace miniroot's IMAGE_MD_POST with common/Makefile.image IMAGEPOSTBUILD
- Makefile.image: add realall: ${IMAGE}

Add barriers after ramdisk and instkernel, but allow fd-set and
cd-hd-tape to be built in parallel.

This is now the main install directory for the new integrated sysinst
boot. Yes, NetBSD/alpha finally gets sysinst on all media types.
The new boot makes a single ramdisk which is then divided via ustarfs
onto a two-floppy set, and a second unified image for CD's, HD's, or
tapes is also created.

Add support for building an "install kernel", which contains a ramdisk
in its belly. This differs from the floppy kernel in that it uses the
sysinst installation tool (and thus requires more space; the ramdisk is
3M).

This is useful for netbooting and installing or for placing on a CD-ROM.
