f615512e4a Don't require operators to override the list of network filesystem
types (networkfs_types) with a version that includes the original
list.

This increases the scope for user error and also means that systems with
networkfs_types set in /etc/rc.conf will not benefit from changes to the
list in /etc/defaults/rc.conf on upgrade.

Instead, store the default list in /etc/rc itself and allow the operator
to append to that list by specifying her own list in networkfs_types.

Rename networkfs_types to extra_netfs_types accordingly, as the new name
better describes the purpose of the variable.  Default the value to
'NO'.

3aee09fd5e Re-introduce the fix that delays mounting of network filesystems until
the network is initialized.  This was first implemented in rev 1.268
of src/etc/rc, but was backed out at wollman's request.

The objection was that the right place for the fix is in mount(8).
Having looked at that problem, I find it hard to believe that
the hoops one would have to jump through can be justified by the
desire for purity alone.

Note that there are reported issues surrounding nfsclient kernel
support and mount_nfs(8), which currently make NFS an ugly exception
to the general case.

With this change, systems with non-NFS network filesystems configured
for mounting on startup in /etc/fstab are no longer guaranteed to
fail on startup.

854cfdfa97 o sysctl.conf cannot be used to set sysctls that are present in
unloaded kernel modules.  Remove the example linux compat sysctls
  because they break if the linux emulator is loaded as a module, rather
  than compiled in.  Add a BUGS entry indicating as much.
