Remove the "dedicated disk mode" partitioning option from sysinstall, in

both the disk partitioning screen (the 'F' key) and via install.cfg (the
VAR_DEDICATED_DISK option).  This functionality is currently broken in 8.x
due to libdisk and geom generating different partition names; this commit
merely acts to help steer users away from the breakage.
