 1.5  30-Aug-2022  riastradh /root: Install .cshrc and .profile links with the same mode.

Previously we would:

1. Install /root/.cshrc and /root/.profile with mode FILESMODE=644 as
requested in src/etc/root/Makefile and as echoed in
/etc/mtree/special.

2. Create hard links at /.cshrc and /.profile through CONFIGLINKS.

3. Because LINKSMODE was unset and defaults to NOBINMODE=444, change
the mode to 444.

This scenario is confusing, and mtree objects to it, which is bad for
warning fatigue in a security-relevant mechanism. (There are also
several other files mtree objects to out of the box -- we should fix
those too.)

With this change we install the links with the same mode as the
original files, in agreement with the mtree. The files, .cshrc and
.profile, are intended to be editable configuration files, so 644
makes sense while 444 makes no sense and gets in the way of editors
like vi.

 1.4  17-Nov-2012  uwe branches: 1.4.24; 1.4.34;
We don't need to include <bsd.prog.mk> to install a few config files
just <bsd.files.mk> and <bsd.links.mk> is enough.

Noticed because <bsd.prog.mk> sets LINKSMODE to BINMODE and that does
the wrong thing at least for unprivileged builds.
 1.3  05-Feb-2010  roy branches: 1.3.6; 1.3.8; 1.3.12;
Move the emergancy terminfo database from /root to /rescue.
 1.2  04-Feb-2010  roy Install a minimal .terminfo and .terminfo.db in /root.
This allows terminfo to be used when /usr is not available.
Fixes PR misc/6879.
 1.1  16-May-2004  lukem Consistently use CONFIGFILES & CONFIGLINKS (which enable the 'configinstall'
target) instead of using home-grown 'distribution' targets or using
FILES with the 'install' target.
Add some etc/ subdir Makefiles where appropriate.

XXX: some of etc/Makefile install-etc-files could be converted to CONFIGFILES.

Discussed on tech-userlevel:

etc: Fix permissions of various editable configuration files.

This way they match the mtree and make sense and don't cause editors
to ask to override read-only files when editing them.

Exception: Not sure /etc/bluetooth/protocols makes as much sense to
edit, but the mtree says 644, so if you want to change it, make sure
to change it in both places -- Makefile and mtree.

/etc/ssh: Install ssh_known_hosts with mode 644.
Makes it agree with the mtree and more convenient for admin to edit.
