This effectively dumps everything lualoader knows about to the console using
the libsa pager; that particular lua interface was added in r368591.
A pager stub implementation has been added that just dumps the output as-is
as a compat shim for older loader binaries that do not have lpager. This
stub should be moved into a more appropriate .lua file if we add anything
else that needs the pager.
Specifically, we have:
- enable-module
- disable-module
- toggle-module
These can be used to add/remove modules to be loaded or force modules to be
loaded in spite of modules_blacklist. In the typical case, a user is
expected to use them to recover an issue happening due to a module directive
they've added to their loader.conf or because they discover that they've
under-specified what to load.

The previous interface was pretty bad, and required the caller to get some
implementation details correct that it really shouldn't need to (e.g.
loader_conf_files handling) and pass in an empty table for it to use.
The new and much improved interface, readConf, is much less of a hack;
hiding these implementation details and just doing the right thing.
config.lua will now use it to process /boot/defaults/loader.conf and the
subsequent loader_conf_files from there, and read-conf will also use it.
This improvement submitted by Olivier (cited below), loader_conf_files
handling from the original patch was changed to just clobber it before
processing and not bother restoring it after the fact following r360505
where it's now guaranteed to evade the loader environment.

While we're here, let's stylize these as functions instead of just raw text.
A future change may allow arbitrary data arguments to be passed some of
these, and the distinction is useful.
In the process, change it slightly: readConfFiles will take a string like
loader_conf_files in addition to the loaded_files table that it normally
takes. This is to facilitate the addition of a read-conf CLI command, which
will just pass in the single file to read and an empty table.
