Also, unbreak the breakage introduced at the last revision of module.c.
This changes the semantics of mod_searchfile() (and mod_searchmodule())
to make the caller's responsibility freeing the buffer returned. This
is different from other functions in loader's code, and was done as a
fix for kern/9631. If someone wants to revert this to the original
behavior, don't forget to fix kern/9631 in another way.
This should also fix bin/10462, which was introduced as a result of the
first try at kern/9631 (module.c last revision).

Change include() so it will be able to load files with forth code,
instead of just builtins. Remove #@- from the include section of the
help file, since they don't work in the new version of include, unless
BOOT_FORTH is not defined.
Change bf_run() so it will return the result returned by ficlExec(). Also,
make bf_run() push "interpret" to be executed by ficlExec(), since ficlExec()
doesn't do it by itself. (Things worked previously because nothing
recursed through ficlExec() by the way of bf_run()).
Change/extend comments on builtin behavior.
Search for "interpret" at the end of bf_init(), so /boot/boot.4th can
provide it's own version.
Remove dead code.

the first time block 0 is read. This fix initialises the block
numbers to -1 which isn't the most correct thing for a daddr_t but
it isn't likely to cause a problem in the boot blocks and it could
do with a more thought out fix later.
The bug is probably benign on the i386 but on the alpha it can
cause initial file opens to fail. This is the cause of the "can't
open /boot/boot.conf" errors.
It appears on the alpha because of a number of combining factors.
On the alpha the LABELSECTOR is 0 so block 0 needs to be read in
from the media. The first time this happens you get a false hit
because the bc_blkno field is zero initially. Also, the timestamp
check against this cache hit succeeds because on the alpha a hacked
getsecs() function can return 0 when it starts counting so that
the zero initial timestamp + BCACHE_TIMEOUT is greater than the
current time until getsecs() has counted passed BCACHE_TIMEOUT.
The overall effect is that the first open() that occurs gets a
false cache hit and returns garbage to the bd_strategy() function
which then fails the open() call. This false hit then stays in the
cache until BCACHE_TIMEOUT getsecs() ticks have passed; all open()
calls during this time fail.
This explains why you can generally access the media by the time
you get to interp() and start issuing commands but the earlier
attempts to run the boot scripts are failing.
It's possible that this is causing the problem switching to the
mfsroot floppy as well but I haven't confirmed that.
o Add fexists word to check for the presence of a file
o make fexists and fload immediate words which DTRT both interpreted
and compiled (doh!)
o add an init word which gets run at bootstrapping time to do extra
post-coldload initialization (in the default implementation, we
look for /boot/boot.4th and load it if found).

and will bypass transfers for more than 8k. Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.
The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.
Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.
