packages: Add meta-package sets
[poudriere installs more packages than before]
sorry. however, this is something poudriere should be able to fix quite
easily by adjusting which packages they install. for example, they
could install the 'FreeBSD-set-base' set to get the entire base system,
then add FreeBSD-src-* if required (i believe some ports need this).
please file a PR against poudriere for that.

QUOTE from my reply:
Note that Bryan and Bapt were both in the CC list for this
when I sent it out: I tried to span pkg and poudriere-devel
as well. (They both deal with poudriere-devel, for example.)
Seems odd that I should be the one specifying interface
changes between pkg/pkg-static and poudriere-devel
and suggesting how they be handled, especially by using
words someone else supplied.

Install just the packages poudriere used to put in the jail created, without unused extras.
