Add note to UPDATING about UEFI changes requiring loader(8) update

Browse Source 
These problems have only been observed with boards using U-Boot (e.g. ARM)
where virtual addresses are already set in the memory map by the firmware
and the firmware is expecting a call to SetVirtualAddressMap to be made.
I refrain from mentioning this in the note because this could also be the
case on some not-yet-tested firmware on amd64 and it's not a bad
recommendation for the general case.

****************************** SPECIAL WARNING: ******************************

For UEFI systems: the UEFI loader(8), loader.efi, should be updated in
conjunction with installing a new kernel after r330868. The kernel,
after this revision, will be more lenient when mapping addresses for
UEFI Runtime Services and this may result in a kernel panic without the
corresponding loader(8) update.

FreeBSD boot loader enhanced with Lua scripting. It's purely opt-in for
now by building WITH_LOADER_LUA and WITHOUT_FORTH in /etc/src.conf.
