A user may set ${name}_env variable in rc.conf(5) in order to set additional
environment variables for a service command. Unfortunately, at the moment
this variable is only honored when the command is specified via the command
variable. Those additional environment variables coming from ${name}_env
are never set if the service is started via the ${rc_arg}_cmd variable (for
example start_cmd).

Since r233109, kldload has the -n option, which silently ignores options
that are already loaded.

Note that this script no longer reports if the module is already loaded,
but it could be argued this wasn't particularly useful information.

Originally intended as 'in case in needs to be re-invoked', but it was later
decided (by myself) that 're-invoke itself' makes it more clear that the
script is expected to use this in a way.

Some rc scripts in ports (e.g. uwsgi, apache, openvpn) allow for
'application profiles' that usually require the rc script to be invoked
again for each active profile. Because there's no consistent way to
determine the path because it differs between manual/service(8) invocations
and /etc/rc invocations, this leads to patterns like these:
- www/uwsgi hardcodes the script path
- security/openvpn guesses either $_file or $0 based on $0 = /etc/rc
Instead of forcing rc scripts to guess, provide an rc_service variable to
the scripts that gets set appropriately both for direct execution or when a
script is being executed via run_rc_script (e.g. /etc/rc).
This is our analog of an OpenRC variable with the same name, different case
(RC_SERVICE).

'read' pessimistically read(2)s one byte at a time, which can be quite
silly for large environments in slow emulators.
In my boring user environment, truss shows that the number of read()
syscalls to source rc.subr and invoke list_vars is reduced by something like
3400 to 60. ministat(1) shows a significant time difference of about -71%
for my environment.

This adds new keywords to rc/service to enable/disable a service's
rc.conf(5) variable and "delete" to remove the variable.
When the "service_delete_empty" variable in rc.conf(5) is set to "YES"
(default is "NO") an rc.conf.d file (in /etc/ or /usr/local/etc) is
deleted if empty after modification using "service $foo delete".

The reasons for this are forward looking to pkgbase:
* /sbin/init is a special binary; try not to replace it with
every package update because an rc script was touched.
(a follow-up commit will make init its own package)
* having rc in its own place will allow more easy replacement
of the rc framework with alternatives, such as openrc.
