pkgbase

Summary

This is the most straightforward way to make installation of base system
packages from install media possible. Bootstrapping pkg at install time
does not work since the root filesystem of install media is immutable.

What do you think about (perhaps as a follow-up) moving this to a function that takes a list of packages to install?

releng I'm tempted to merge this change ASAP even if we don't bring in the rest of the pkgbase functionality yet, to try to get as much testing on any of the subparts as possible. Any objection?

I didn't need this for wifi as we run pkg inside the new installation later and there it gets bootstrapped automatically; this will all change now I presume :)
