Turn back the clock just a little: make userboot.so always be 4th
Turns out there was a hidden dependency we hasn't counted upon. The host load /boot/userboot.so to boot the VMs it runs. This means that the change to lua meant suddently that nobody could run their older VMs because LUA wasn't in 10.0, last month's HardenedBSD, 11.2 or whatever. Even more than for the /boot/loader* binaries, we need a good coexistance strategy for this. While that's being designed and implemented, drop back to always 4th for userboot.so. This will fail safe in all but the most extreme environments (but lua-only hacks to .lua files won't be processes in VMs until we fix it). Differential Review: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D16805
