9627 No longer need 32-bit boot_archive / 9628 UFS boot archives are too large
Tested by creating HSFS and UFS archives with both old and new code, comparing the contents and test booting a server with the new archives.
Also fixed a bug with UFS archives where too much space was being reserved (issue 9628)
Before: boot archive is almost twice as big as necessary due to reserving far too much space for directories.
