Loader: support booting OS from memory disk (MD)

Until now, the boot image can be embedded into the loader with
/sys/tools/embed_mfs.sh, and memory disk (MD) is already supported
in loader source. But due to memory disk (MD) driver isn't registered
to the loader yet, the boot image can't be boot from embedded memory
disk.

In order for this to be effective, one should also configure the firmware
(BIOS or UEFI) to prevent booting from unauthorized devices.
.Sh MD
Memory disk (MD) can be used when the
.Nm
was compiled with
.Va MD_IMAGE_SIZE .
The size of the memory disk is determined by
.Va MD_IMAGE_SIZE .
If MD available, a file system can be embedded into the
.Nm
with
.Pa /sys/tools/embed_mfs.sh .
Then, MD will be probed and be set to
.Va currdev
during initialization.
.Pp
Currently, MD is only supported in
.Xr loader.efi 8 .
