sh(1): make it the default shell for the root user
In the recent history sh(1) has gain the missing features for it to
become a usable interractive shell: - command completion - persistent
history support - improvements on the default bindings in emacs mode
- improvements in the vi mode (repect $EDITOR) - print a newline when
exiting via ^D - default prompt and improvements on how PS1 can be
configured - and more. This changes also simplifies making tiny
freebsd images with only sh(1) as a shell
