335fe94f90 Add init_exec kenv(1) variable, to make init(8) execute a file
after opening the console, replacing init as PID 1.

From the user point of view, it makes it possible to run eg the
shell as PID 1, using 'set init_exec=/bin/sh' at the loader(8)
prompt.

fdfbf12784 Move description of init_shell, init_script, and init_chroot kenv
tunables from loader(8) to init(8), since it's init that actually
uses them.  Add .Xrs at their old place.

1ddc8a8e68 Follow up to r336919 and r336921: s/efi.rt_disabled/efi.rt.disabled/
The latter matches the rest of the tree better [0]. The UPDATING entry has
been updated to reflect this, and the new tunable is now documented in
loader(8) [1].

408c1ff8f4 Clarify that boot_mute / boot -m mutes kernel console only
Perhaps RB_MUTE could mute user startup (rc) output as well, but right
now it mutes only kernel console output, so make the documentation match
reality.
