kernel selection menu to the beastie menu. List of kernels is taken from
`kernels' in loader.conf(5) as a space (or comma) separated list of names
to display (up to 9). If not set, default value is "kernel kernel.old".
Does not validate that kernels exist because the next enhancement will be
to allow selection of the root device.

Make the following interface changes to my beastie boot menu:
+ Move boot options to a submenu
+ Add a new "Boot Single" menu item
+ Make "Boot" item and new "Boot Single" item reverse when boot_single is set
+ Add new "Load Defaults" item (in new "Boot Options" submenu) for overridding
loader.conf(5) provided values with system defaults.

"boot verbose", "single user mode", "ACPI" and more are now stateful boolean
menuitems rather than direct action-items.
A short-coming in this new menu system is that when a user sets a non-default
value in loader.conf(5), this non-default state is not reflected in the menu
-- leading to confusion as to whether the option was taking effect or not.
This patch adds dynamic menuitem constructors _and_ the necessary Forth
callbacks to initialize these stateful menuitems -- causing the aforementioned
menuitems to adhere to loader.conf(5) settings.

- Enter instead of ENTER
- Remove colons
- Line up option values
- Use dots to provide a line to visually connect the menu
selections with their values
- Replace Enabled/Disabled with off/On
(bigger inital cap for "On" is a visual indicator)
- Remove confusing "Boot" from selections that don't boot.
- With loader_color=1 in /boot/loader.conf, use reverse video to
highlight enabled options
