This will be used for scenarios where the command to execute is coming in
via the environment (from, for example, loader.conf(5)) and is thus not
necessarily trusted.
cli_execute_unparsed will immediately be used for handling
module_{before,after,error} as well as menu_timeout_command. We still want
to offer these variables the ability to execute Lua-intercepted loader
commands, but we don't want them to be able to execute arbitrary Lua.

Back when I "fixed" the loading of kernel/modules to be deferred until
booting, I inadvertently broke the ability to manually load a set of kernels
and modules in case of something bad having happened. lualoader would
instead happily load whatever is specified in loader.conf(5) and go about
the boot, leading to a panic loop as you try to rediscover a way to stop the
panicky efirt module from loading and fail miserably.

potentially unsafe calls to firmware from the kernel and provides better
performance.
This feature is meant to be expanded until it is on by default
unconditionally and, ideally, we can then garbage-collect the
nightmare pile of hacks required to call into Open Firmware from a live
kernel.

- All of our default positions were offset from forth
- Our menu frame size was smaller than in forth

This allows lua to pass back a command string to be executed as if it were
typed at the loader prompt- loader tries to execute the string first as pure
lua, then parses it and gives lua a chance to intercept before it tries to
execute it itself.
This will be used to implement menu_timeout_command, among other things,
which *should* be used to execute basic loader commands independent of the
chosen interpreter.
Rather than before the menu is drawn. The drawer is going to reset the
crusor position as soon as it draws anything anyways, so doing it before
serves no purpose. Setting it after is needed so we don't clobber the menu
when we start booting.
printc does not need the features or the overhead of printf. It does not
take formatting strings, and it pipes the single string argument through an
"%s" format.
Instead, use putc directly. This pipes the string through in its entirety as
a series of 'unsigned char's, generally straight to the console emulator.

r330282 registered loader.printc as printc, so use it instead. This makes
sense for a couple reasons, the major point being that it reads a little bit
easier and pairs nicely with the global 'print'.
Similar cases can not really be made for other loader.* functions as most of
them are either highly specific to our use-case or usually available in
other modules, such as `os`. printc does not have a standard implementation
in the Lua world(*), so we have a little more leeway with it, and it's kind
of a special case of the globally available 'print'.
(*) I've been in the Lua world for all of two weeks, so this could be wrong.
- Add drawer.frame_styles to map out the kinds of characters we need for the
different loader_menu_frame values
- Respect loader_menu_frame, default to double[*]
- (imp) Use loader.printc instead of print- print adds a newline to the
output, which is not the right thing we want to be doing.
- (imp) Draw horizontal frames a little more efficiently- setting the cursor
after every line segment is horribly inefficient, especially on serial
consoles. Halve the number of characters written at the expense of an
additional loop to draw the bottom frame, which is likely more efficient
in the long run for some of less ideal scenarios.
[*] menu.4th(8) claims that the default here was single, but unset
loader_menu_frame yielded double and we didn't have any overrides in the
default loader.conf(5), so double it is.

to fix the memory leak that I introduced in r328426. Instead of
trying to clear up the possible memory leak in all the clients, I
ensure that it gets cleaned up in the source (e.g., ffs_sbget ensures
that memory is always freed if it returns an error).
The original change in r328426 was a bit sparse in its description.
So I am expanding on its description here (thanks cem@ and rgrimes@
for your encouragement for my longer commit messages).
In preparation for adding check hashing to superblocks, r328426 is
a refactoring of the code to get the reading/writing of the superblock
into one place. Unlike the cylinder group reading/writing which
ends up in two places (ffs_getcg/ffs_geom_strategy in the kernel
and cgget/cgput in libufs), I have the core superblock functions
just in the kernel (ffs_sbfetch/ffs_sbput in ffs_subr.c which is
already imported into utilities like fsck_ffs as well as libufs to
implement sbget/sbput). The ffs_sbfetch and ffs_sbput functions
take a function pointer to do the actual I/O for which there are
four variants:
ffs_use_bread / ffs_use_bwrite for the in-kernel filesystem
g_use_g_read_data / g_use_g_write_data for kernel geom clients
ufs_use_sa_read for the standalone code (stand/libsa/ufs.c
but not stand/libsa/ufsread.c which is size constrained)
use_pread / use_pwrite for libufs
Uses of these interfaces are in the UFS filesystem, geoms journal &
label, libsa changes, and libufs. They also permeate out into the
filesystem utilities fsck_ffs, newfs, growfs, clri, dump, quotacheck,
fsirand, fstyp, and quot. Some of these utilities should probably be
converted to directly use libufs (like dumpfs was for example), but
there does not seem to be much win in doing so.

One does not simply convert to SUBDIR.yes in stand without making everything
else in the affected files SUBDIR.yes -- there are better ways to do this.
Use SUBDIR.${MK_*} where appropriate. r330248 eliminated most of the
offenders, sweep the rest under the rug.

Rather than hardcoding these things. This could lead to some form of loader
localization later, but the main goal at the moment is to get a clear view
of the strings we're outputting and strive to use more string.format() and
less wild concatenation all over the place.
We've included an extra '0' in there (which might get removed later, but
it's maintained for the moment for legacy purposes) which oftentimes
indicate that the following number should be treated as octal. This is not
the case, so note that to prevent future confusion (of myself and others).
Our module bits ended up more stable than I anticipated, so this turns out
to be no longer useful.
If things like this need to come back, we should do it in a separate 'debug'
module to serve as a collection of debugging aides. As a rule, this 'debug'
module would *not* be allowed as a requirement of any other modules in-tree.
- Add screen.default_x and screen.default_y to determine where
screen.defcursor resets the cursor to.
- Use screen.setcursor in screen.defcursor instead of rewriting the escape
sequence.
- Use screen.default_y when resetting the cursor after writing the new
twiddle character, add a comment verbally describing the position just in
case.
It worked on my test setup, but is clearly non-functional on others.
Further examination of check-password.4th showed that it actually reset the
cursor to 0,25 every time and overwrote the previous password prompt. Do
that, and also clear the "Incorrect Password" text if the correct password
gets entered.
twiddle_pos didn't need to be a module-scope local, since it's going to get
reset with every read anyways- it was left-over from other things.
screen.movecursor with a y=-1 setting was from a test of movecursor,
resulting in the twiddle characters being drawn going up the console and
looking quite funky.
This gives some form of feedback while typing, and matches-(ish*) Forth
behavior. The cursor generally rests two column after the password prompt,
then the twiddle is drawn three columns later and the cursor reset to
resting position after being drawn.
I've removed the note about re-evaluating it for security considerations and
instead set it up as a module-local variable that we can set later depending
on environment or something. It's set to false with no chance of changing at
the moment.
*As close as I can tell from reading check-password.4th, because I don't
have an easy test (or deployed) setup for forth loader to check how close
it is. Please do mention if it's not close enough.
There are some _write callbacks left only returning EROFS, replace them

Current timeout behavior is to progress in timeout values from MINTMO to
MAXTMO in MINTMO steps before finally timing out. This results in a fairly
long time before operations finally timeout, which may not be ideal for some
use-cases.
Add MAXWAIT that may be configured along with MINTMO/MAXTMO. If we attempt
to start our send/recv cycle over again but MAXWAIT > 0 and MAXWAIT seconds
have already passed, then go ahead and timeout.
This is intended for those that just want to say "timeout after 180 seconds"
rather than calculate and tweak MINTMO/MAXTMO to get their desired timeout.
The default is 0, or "progress from MINTMO to MAXTMO with no exception."
This has been modified since review to allow for it to be defined via CFLAGS
and doing appropriate error checking. Future work may add some Makefile foo
to respect LOADER_NET_MAXWAIT if it's specified in the environment and pass
it in as MAXWAIT accordingly.

This is motivated by a want to reduce heap usage if the menu is being
skipped. Currently, the menu module must be loaded regardless of whether
it's being skipped or not, which adds a cool ~50-100KB worth of memory
usage.
Move the menu skip logic out to core (and remove a debug print), then check
in loader.lua if we should be skipping the menu and avoid loading the menu
module entirely if so. This keeps our memory usage below ~115KB for a boot
with the menu stripped.
Also worth noting: with this change, we no longer explicitly invoke autoboot
if we're skipping the menu. Instead, we let the standard loader behavior
apply: try to autoboot if we need to, then drop to a loader prompt if not or
if the autoboot sequence is interrupted. The only thing we still handle
before dropping to the loader autoboot sequence is loadelf(), so that we can
still apply any of our kernel loading behavior.
