037b7ed675 Implement a two new flags, and change the meaning of another one.
'd': now means don't do daemon().
'D': Debug
'n': Don't wait to process all pending events before calling daemon.

In the past, devd would call daemon immediately.  However, this causes
a race.  If anything in the boot process depends on configuring the
devices configured by devd, maybe they would be configured in time,
maybe not.  Now we don't call daemon until all pending events are
processed, unless -n is specified.

# -n is actually the default for a while due to the select(2) bug in devctl
# that I just fixed to give people a chance to upgrade.

825b39f9a0 devd. A daemon that hooks into the kernel's /dev/devctl to produce
arbitrary commands when devices come and go in the device tree (which is
different than the /dev directory).

This is an initial version.  Much of the planned power isn't here.
Instead of doing the full matching, we always run /etc/devd-generic.
/etc/devd.generic will go away at some point, I think.

I'm committing it in this early state so I can start getting feedback
from early adapters.
