DragonFly 3.4 release planning

The normal DragonFly setup puts /usr in / anyway. We haven't had a
separate /usr in a long time.
However, if we wanted to support older partition setups which did,
there's no reason why we couldn't install all the libs into a /lib
and just have /usr/lib be a null-mount of /lib. A bit messy but it
would work.
Given a choice, I'd rather not impose any additional mess here and
just stick with /usr/lib for everything, including /bin and /sbin,
and not allow /usr to be a separate mount from /.
make installworld could check for the case and refuse to install if
/usr is on a different mount from /.
