>Description:

Most of my "embedded" test machines have

	var_shm_symlink="/tmp/.shm"

in /etc/rc.conf to avoid mounting another tmpfs instance (and instead sharing
a single one on /tmp, with a single ram limit).

It is unfortunately impossible to express this properly in /etc/mtree/set.base,
so the mtree sets test fails:

tc-start: 1715767896.927918, set_base
tc-so:Executing command [ mtree -e ]
tc-se:Fail: incorrect exit status: 2, expected: 0

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a

>Fix:
Add an "alternative" keyword to mtree specs (simmilar to "optional") marking
an entry that is part of a group of lines/entries describing the same
item, but in different, alternative incarnations - where strictly one of them
has to present and match the spec.

Like:

./var/shm type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=01777 alternative
./var/shm type=link uname=root gname=wheel mode=01777

(and also allow the second line to match a link with arbitrary target
since no link= is given).
