Currently, rc.inidiskless assumes that local system configuration
changes are kept in some mountable file system. For example,
nanobsd uses dedicated partition mounted as /cfg for this.
However, small embedded devices like MIPS routers may have no enough flash
space to keep full-blown file system but have only one or couple
small flash blocks to keep persistent local configuration overrides.
This change extends rc.initdiskless and introduces ability to run auxiliary
command /conf/T/M/extract that is supposed to extract configuration overrides
from such local storage.
For example, the command /conf/default/etc/extract may contain something like:
cd "$1" && bsdcpio --quiet -idu < /dev/map/cfg
bsdcpio command extracts compressed archive from the storage to /etc
assuming the storage is exposed by the kernel as /dev/map/cfg to userland.

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.
