sysutils/firstboot-pkg-upgrade: New port

Introduce an rc.d service to upgrade all packages on first boot,
ensuring cloud images are deployed with no known vulnerabilities. By
default, it will patch everything from all enabled repos, and record
this in syslog. It accepts an optional additional line that specifies
a list of space-separated specific repos to limit the upgrade to.

Note specifying bogus repos results in the upgrade aborting,
it will log This and will not try to not run again.
