c4c3b35172 Add new loader console type: "spinconsole". This console selects the
video console which doesn't take any input from keyboard and hides
all output replacing it with ``spinning'' character (useful for
embedded products and custom installations).

b8b4c607d8 Document that loader(8) stops reading `loader.conf' when it
encounters a syntax error, and add a tip about adding first
the `vital' options and then experimental ones.

4832a19173 Add a "comconsole_speed" loader variable that can be used to change
the serial console speed (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous
stage boot loader requested a serial console (RB_SERIAL or RB_MULTIPLE)
then the default speed is determined from the current serial port
speed. Otherwise it is set to 9600 or the value of BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
at compile time.

This makes it possible to set the serial port speed once in
/boot.config and the setting will propagate to boot2, loader and
the kernel serial console.

d3e1c2411e Fix hw.acpi.os_name by renaming it to hw.acpi.osname. The "_name" suffix
is reserved by the loader, and thus any tunable name with that suffix will
be silently discarded.

Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.
