tsutsui 7be7385533 Allow overriding live-image and install-image sizes by
INSTIMAGEMB (for install-images), USBIMAGEMB (for x86 sd0root liveimages),
and EMUIMAGEMB (for other liveimages) variables.

riz b053ad40a5 Change the naming scheme of "live" images and usb install images
to incorporate the OS name and version.

XXX should also not hardcode ${BOOTDISK} in the name, but that would
require reordering stuff and more testing than I have time for right now.
Another day.

As discussed on current-users@ back in March, with some adjustments.

tsutsui 3cf69f27e2 Add "live-image" and "install-image" target support to build.sh.
"live-image" target builds pre-installed disk images that can be used on
emulators or boot from USB memory sticks to try NetBSD without installation.
Currently amd64, i386, pmax, sparc, sparc64, sun2, sun3, and vax
(which have working emulators and don't require extra tools like preparing
 msdosfs or partitioning MD label structures) support this target.

"install-image" target builds an bootable installation disk image that can
be used as an install CD but burned into USB memory sticks etc.
Current only amd64 and i386 (which would support USB boot) have this target.

No particular comments about implementation, and
"go ahead" comments from mrg@, riz@ and christos@.

Closes PR toolchain/45153 and PR misc/45155.
