4390d56940 Make it easier to build and install packages "unprivileged", where
the owner of all installed files is a non-root user.  This change
affects most packages that require special users or groups by making
them use the specified unprivileged user and group instead.

(1) Add two new variables PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS to
    unprivileged.mk.  These two variables are lists of other bmake
    variables that define package-specific users and groups.  Packages
    that have user-settable variables for users and groups, e.g. apache
    and APACHE_{USER,GROUP}, courier-mta and COURIER_{USER,GROUP},
    etc., should list these variables in PKG_USERS_VARS and PKG_GROUPS_VARS
    so that unprivileged.mk can know to set them to ${UNPRIVILEGED_USER}
    and ${UNPRIVILEGED_GROUP}.

(2) Modify packages to use PKG_GROUPS_VARS and PKG_USERS_VARS.

5ca4038017 Drop NO_MTREE by making it the default. Introduce USE_MTREE to get the
old behaviour back. Discussed on tech-pkg@.

SETUID_ROOT_PERMS.

aa237578e1 Include some more magic to set ownership of packages build with
use-destdir to ${ROOT_USER}:${ROOT_GROU}. This allows us to safely
use it on all packages which don't install setuid/setgid binaries.

5b374e445d Main infrastructure for DESTDIR support.
Packages may set PKG_DESTDIR_SUPPORT to either "destdir" or
"user-destdir" to flag support for this, following the same
rules as PKG_INSTALLATION_TYPES (e.g. define before first include
of bsd.prefs.mk).

The user activates it via USE_DESTDIR. When set to "yes",
packages with "user-destdir" are handled as "destdir".
The installation of the package will not go to ${LOCALBASE},
but a subdirectory of ${WRKDIR} instead. pre/post install scripts are
not run and the package is not registered either. A binary package
can be created instead to be installed normally with pkg_add.

For "user-destdir" packages, everything is run as normal user and
ownership is supposed to be correctled by pkg_create later. Since
the current pkg_install code uses pax and it doesn't allow overwriting
owners, this does not work yet.

For "destdir" packages, installation, packaging and cleaning is run as
root.

This commit does not change the handling of DEPENDS_TARGET or
bin-install to allow recursive usage.

9a607f8e53 Instead of the variables CHOWN and CHGRP, the TOOLS_PLATFORM.* variables
need to be overridden to generate tool wrappers that also work when
called with their simple names (for example chown instead of ${CHOWN}).

8db27f7fe7 Converted the header comment to the canonical form. Changed the
definitions of CHOWN and CHGRP so that they still include the command
that is skipped, which is useful when viewing the build logs.

NO_BUILD, USE_LIBTOOL.

Also set PKG_CREATE_USERGROUP with = instead of ?=.

d5789c138e Simplify unprivileged builds by adding a new variable, UNPRIVILEGED, that,
when set to YES, changes multiple defaults to let this work properly.
