Add new sets: base32, debug32, manhtml

- base32 contains (when MKCOMPAT=yes) shared libraries for 32-bit
compatibility, previously included in base

- debug32 contains (when MKCOMPAT=yes) debug symbols and static libraries
containing debug symbols for 32-bit compatiblity, previously included
in debug

- manhtml contains (when MKHTML=yes) the HTML files previously included
in 'man', which are of limited utility without third-party software.

The motivation for this change is to be able to easily exclude sets
from CD-ROM images that go over the size limit without xz compression
(which many NetBSD platforms struggle to extract at acceptable speeds).

Move DRM-driver firmware from base to its own set, gpufw

This set is only installed on amd64,i386,evbarm.
This set is installed on minimal installs and on install media, in
case someone needs it for basic driver functionality.

Comments:
Switched to a single MK tunable for it - that is probably unneeded.

An upcoming DRM update will include even fatter firmware, and we'd
like to minimize the impact of it.

# 325b9996 05-Oct-2020 martin <martin@NetBSD.org>

Add a heuristic to detect and properly mark EFI system partitions
when re-using pre-existing partitions.


# 2f0931af 16-Nov-2019 martin <martin@NetBSD.org>

On amd64 support installation with a KASLR kernel, via "custom install"
and selecting the GENERIC_KASLR kernel set.
Setup /prekern and boot.cfg accordingly.

Rework internal data structures and "interfaces to user interface" functions
to get rid of all disklabel assumptions.

Previously (even for GPT partitioning) struct disklabel was used, which
obviously breaks large disk setups. Also many MD parts and parts of the
user interface assumed (a) a struct disklabel is used internally to
store partitioning information and (b) partitions are named 'a' ... $MAXPART.

Get rid of this and replace it with a quite abstract interface that should
be able to deal with all variants in partition storage:

- partitions are stored in a (partly abstract) struct disk_partitions
and most parts of it are only accessed via accessor functions provided
by a "partitioning scheme".

- implement partitioning schemes for MBR, disklabel and GPT (with likely
RDB [amiga] and Apple Partition Map [mac*] to follow soon)

- partitioning schemes may be cascaded, e.g. on x86 when using MBR as
"outer partitions", we have disklabel as "inner partitions".

- all user interface goes via accessor functions in the partitioning scheme,
some of which return pointers to special user interface descriptors
(e.g. to allow editing partition flags, which are scheme specific)

Overall the user interface changes (in this initial step) are minimal but
noticable. A new Anita is needed for automatic test setups - many thanks
to Andreas Gustafsson for lots of early testing and a new Anita version,
and to Manuel Bouyer for cooperation and tests of the Anita release.

This work was sponsored by The NetBSD Foundation, Inc.

Move sysinst sources to usr.sbin.

This commit only physically moves the sources - there are no other
changes, to maximize the probability that this will be treated as a
rename if we ever do manage to migrate away from CVS.

Moving sysinst has been discussed on and off for years and has two
goals: making it easier to work on sysinst, and also making sysinst
available on running systems for use installing chroots and VM images
and other such things. None of the latter is possible yet, but as they
say, one thing at a time.

Doing this now was approved in an impromptu fashion by mrg, riz,
riastradh, me, and groo.
