Module Name:    src

Log Message:
Do not ship with (an empty) /home in the base distribution.

The old behaviour caused problems when /home is a symlink on a system
and pax is used to extract base.tgz or "installworld" the base set
(because pax will remove the symlink before creating the now-empty
directory).  It also made it more difficult for a site that wants
permissions on /home to be something other than what the NetBSD
defaults are.

For sites which want /home, it's a "once off" operation to create it,
and "useradd -m" (with the default "base-dir" of /home) will create
it anyway.

This resolves PR [install/19673], as well as being more consistent
with our defacto policy of "not stomping on stuff we don't need to".
