nrelease - fix/improve livecd

Make building a livecd image with "binpkgs" easier:

make release gui binpkgs

now works out of the box without having to manually specify the
corresponding packages for some ports (e.g. perl5).

While there, fix .xinitrc (we no longer use pkgsrc) and use a more
recent xorg.conf.

nrelease: Add 'IMGSIZE_MB' to specify file size in units of MB

The image file size was specified by the 'IMGSIZE' variable, but it's
the number of 512-byte sectors, which isn't intuitive and requires a
manual conversion. Add the 'IMGSIZE_MB' variable to directly specify
the file size in units of MB, which is more intuitive and friendly.

nrelease: Improve 'etc.hdd' creation to eliminate inconsistency

Previously, the 'etc.hdd' was created during the 'buildiso' target and
then updated in the 'pkgs' target. However, in the 'pkgs' target, only
the password files (i.e., master.passwd, passwd, group) were copied but
the password DBs (i.e., pwd.db, spwd.db) were not rebuild. This caused
an inconsistency in 'etc.hdd'. When a user tried manual installation
and forgot to run 'pwd_mkdb', the installed system would fail to add new
users and generate errors like:

> pw: user 'myuser' disappeared during update.
> adduser: ERROR: There was an error adding user (myuser).

This commit improves the creation of 'etc.hdd'. Reorder the 'customiso'
target *after* the 'pkgs' target, so we can simply copy the 'etc' to
'etc.hdd' and be done, without any further changes, and the resulting
password files and DBs are in consistency. In addition, this avoids
adding the 'installer' user to the 'etc.hdd' and so we get a cleaner
system by default.

release: Mount tmpfs at /usr/local/etc only if exists for ISO

For an ISO release built with the 'nopkgs' option, it doesn't have the
'/usr/local/etc' directory. Thus the boot process would fail because it
cannot mount tmpfs at the non-existent directory '/usr/local/etc'.

Fix this issue by checking the existence of '/usr/local/etc' before
appending the corresponding entry to the ISO's fstab.

nrelease: Support to use binary packages

Add the new optional target "binpkgs" to allow to use binary packages,
i.e., installing them with pkg(8), instead of building them from
dports(7). This can be handy for end users who want to quickly build
a custom image with custom packages.

As pointed out by Sascha Wildner, one port may have multiple binary
packages (e.g., Python flavors) or have a different name that may not be
found by pkg(8). Therefore, allow to specify the exact binary package
name for a port by setting 'PKG_<port>=<pkg-name>'.

This feature is disabled by default, as suggested by Sascha Wildner,
because the release process should be self-contained as much as possible.

Update the help text and man page accordingly.
