sysinst: fix lint warning about "effectively discards 'const'"

No binary change except for assertion line numbers.

Make default installations a bit more secure:
 - push a bit harder for setup of a root password
 - simplify/clarify manual entropy setup
 - visit the entropy setup (on machines where it is needed) on the
   default path through sysinst

When reading output from a program we don't know how much it will
be - so scale the buffer (within reasonable limits).
Problem pointed out by RVP, triggered e.g. by disks with lots of GPT
partitions.

Mostly merge changes from HEAD upto 20200411

Add options to the various partitioning stages that allow cloning of
alien partitions (optionally including data).
PR 54467: we trust our own sets, extract them with -P to allow symlink
redirection (especially for updates and chroot services - back out
once a better solution for those is implemented)
Make cloning support optional, so we can save some space on very small
install media.
Drop MBR and cloning support on crunched install media.
Make tar extraction flags depend on our usage of pax-as-tar or bsdtar.
Fix missing newlines in bios match display, pointed out by maxv.
Drop unused variable.
Fix table of bios geomatries
knf style adjustments
Make the bootblock selection menu more sane, pointed out by maxv
Make sure all menus have a translatable exit option (or none at all).
On amd64 support installation with a KASLR kernel, via "custom install"
and selecting the GENERIC_KASLR kernel set.
Setup /prekern and boot.cfg accordingly.

Make sure all menus have a translatable exit option (or none at all).

no need to initialize fields that are already 0.

Use _fmt_ msg_ methods when formats are needed.

Sync with HEAD

Simplify previous even further by using hline() instead of a hand coded
version.

Simplify previous, suggested by simonb.

Avoid string + int warning.

Sync with HEAD, resolve a couple of conflicts

Convert all static menu struct initializiations to C99 name initializer
format - prerequisite for an upcoming evil hack (tm).
No functional change intended.

Make the debug version compilable with modern gcc.
Do debugging for system(3) calls only when DEBUG_SYSTEM is defined.

Don't use asctime(localtime(time_t *)) because this is really ctime(time_t *)
and not checking the result of localtime can lead to tears.
Add a safectime() that always returns a good string, and add some debugging
so that we can see if there is indeed something wrong in the new libc time
code.

If we launch a program with RUN_SILENT, give it more than two seconds to
run before we create an output window. On a swapping VAX it can take
seriously longer, and we get interactive status display even if the program
did not produce any error output otherwise.

Revise previous: with RUN_SILENT there is never a good reason to create
the output window unless there is actually output to display.

(Finally) merge a slightly modified version of the 2012 GSoC results
from Eugene Lozovoy: add extended partitioning options to sysinst.
Still needs some testing and polishing, but it now is possible to use GPT
or to create a RAID set from scratch and install onto it.

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.
