In the worst case scenario, we have no passwords to prompt for and we end up
just clearing the screen twice before we draw the menu or proceed with boot.
In the best case scenario, we don't try drawing password prompts amidst a
bunch of kernel/module loading.
These are the style points that I'd like to try and maintain in our lua
scripts:
- Parentheses around conditionals
- Trailing semicolons, except on block terminators
- s:method(...) instead of string.method(s, ...) where applicable
There's likely more, but that'll get hammered out as we continue.
Prompt for GELI passphrase when geom_eli_passphrase_prompt has been set to
"YES" in loader.conf(5).
This entailed breaking out the password prompt into its own function that
can be reused between the password compare bits and this prompt that simply
takes the entered password and passes it along in the environment as
kern.geom.eli.passphrase.
I've also added a TODO to re-evaluate later if we want the "password
masking" -- it is currently not functional, so one still can't observe the
length of the password typed at the prompt.
These are the .lua files from from Pedro Souza's 2014 Summer of Code
project. Rui Paulo, Pedro Arthur and Wojciech A. Koszek also
contributed.

Use loader.setenv and loader.unsetenv instead of loader.perform
Convert from include("/boot/foo.lua") to foo = require("foo");
to bring in line with latest lua module conventions.
Enforce a uniform style for the new .lua files:
o hard tab indenation for 8 spaces
o don't have if foo then bar; else bas; end on one line
