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: 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.

Make building ISOs with the installer the default.

I think it's safe to assume that ISOs without the installer are only
built by accident. The 'installer' target is a no-op now.

% cd /usr/src/nrelease
% make PKGSRC_PKG_PATH=/pkgsrc/dir/All release gui

See release(7) for more information.

Note that you will need pkgsrc binary packages locally. In the example above,
replace /pkgsrc/dir with the path where they are kept.

The resulting ISO will be /usr/release/dfly-gui.iso.
