r354247 converted try_include to lfs + dofile with the loader.lua_path added
just before. Fortunately, there was a hardcoded /boot/lua fallback in case
loader.lua_path wasn't being set yet- I typo'd it as loader.lua_paths.
Fix the typo.

Actual modules get require()'d in, rather than try_include(). All instances
of try_include should be provided with proper hooks/API in the rest of
loader to do the work they need to do, since we can't rely on them to exist.
Convert this now to lfs + dofile since we won't really be treating them as
modules.
lfs is required because dofile will properly throw an error if the file
doesn't exist, which is not in the spirit of 'optionally included'.
Getting out of the pcall game allows us to provide a loader.exit() style
call that backs out to the common bits of loader (autoboot sequence unless
disabled with a loader.setenv("autoboot_delay", "NO")). The most ideal way
identified so far to implement loader.exit() is to throw a special
abort-style error that indicates to the caller in interp_lua that we've not
actually errored out, just continue execution. Otherwise, we have to hack in
logic to bubble up and return from loader.lua without continuing further,
which gets kind of ugly depending on the context in which we're aborting.
A compat shim is provided temporarily in case the executing loader doesn't
yet have loader.lua_path, which was just added in r354246.
Multiple places coordinate to 'know' where lua scripts are installed. Knock
this down to being formally defined (and overridable) in exactly one spot,
defs.mk, and spread the knowledge to loaders and liblua alike. A future
commit will expose this to lua as loader.lua_path, so it can build absolute
paths to lua scripts as needed.

Previously color.disabled would be calculated at color module load time,
then never touched again. We can detect serial boots beyond just what we're
told by loader.conf(5) so this works out in many cases, but we must
re-evaluate the situation after the config is loaded to make sure we're not
supposed to be forcing it enabled/disabled.
Discovered while trying to test r353872.
When colors are disabled, color.escape{fg,bg} would return the passed in
color rather than the proper ANSI sequence for the color.
color.escape{fg,bg} would be wrong.
Instead return '', as the associated reset* functions will also return ''.
This should get rid of the funky '2' and '4' in the kernel selector if
you're booting serial.
Reported by: npn
It's not uncommon these days for the terminals attached to serial consoles
to support ANSI escape sequences. However, we assume escape sequences may
break some serial consoles and default to not using them when boot_serial or
boot_multicons (or if console contains "comconsole" in the forth loader) for
broader compatibility. We also have loader_color which can be explicitly set
to "NO" to disable the use of ANSI escape sequences.
The problem is that loader_color=YES gets ignored when boot_serial=YES or
boot_multicons=YES (or when console contains "comconsole" in the forth
loader).
To fix, the existing default behavior remains unchanged when loader_color is
unset, loader_color=NO explicitly disables the use of ANSI escape sequences
still, and the change is that loader_color=YES can now be used to explicitly
allow ANSI escapes when a serial console is enabled.

This command will trigger a reload of the configuration from disk. This is
useful if you've changed currdev from recovery media to local disk as much
as I have over the past ~2 hours and are tired of the extra keystrokes.
This is really just a glorified shortcut, but reload-conf is likely easier
to remember for other people and does save some keystrokes when reloading
the configuration. It is also resilient to the underlying config method
changing interface, but this is unlikely to happen.

The box drawing characters we use aren't necessarily safe with a serial
console; for instance, in the report by npn@, these were causing his xterm
to send back a sequence that lua picked up as input and halted the boot.
This is less than ideal.
Fallback to ASCII frames for console with 'comconsole' in it. This is a
partial revert r338108 by imp@ -- instead of removing the menu entirely and
disabling color/cursor sequences, just reverting the default frame to ASCII
is enough to not break in this setup.

Replace mini cons25 emulator with teken, this does enable us proper console
terminal for loader and will make it possible to implement different
back end callbacks to draw to screen.
At this time we still only "draw" in text mode.
Assuming that the autoboot sequence was interrupted, we've done enough
cursor manipulation that the prompt for the password will be sufficiently
obscured a couple of lines up. Clear the screen and reset the cursor
position here, too.

This was previously an unconditional screen clear, regardless of whether or
not we would be prompting for any passwords. This is pointless, given that
the screen clear is only there to put our screen into a consistent state
before we draw the prompts and do cursor manipulation.
This is also the only screen clear besides that to draw the menu. One can
now see early pre-loader and loader output with the menu disabled, which may
be useful for diagnostics.

The previous iteration of try_include attempted to be 'friendly' and error()
out if we hit an error that wasn't ENOENT. This was semi-OK, but fragile as
it relied on pattern matching the error message.
Move the responsibility for handling failure to the caller. Following
a common lua pattern, we'll return the return value of the underlying
require() on success, or false and an error message.

If module_blacklist isn't specified, we have an empty blacklist; effectively
the same as if module_blacklist="" were specified in loader.conf(5).
This was reported when switching to a BE that predated the module_blacklist
introduction, but the problem is valid all the same and likely to be tripped
over in other scenarios.

Some fixes:
- Maintain historical behavior more accurately w.r.t verbose_loading;
verbose_loading strictly prints "${module_name...}" and later "failed!"
or "ok" based on load success
- With or without verbose_loading, dump command_errbuf on load failure.
This usually happens prior to ok/failed if we're verbose_loading

Currently, a timeout in the menu autoboot sequence would effectively do
nothing. We would return from the autoboot handling, then begin processing
the menu without redrawing it.
This change makes the behavior a little more friendly. Returning the user to
the menu can't have any good effects, so abort the autoboot sequence and
drop to the loader prompt.

In the majority of cases, a kernel is not loaded before we hit the menu.
However, if a password is set, we'll trigger autoboot and have loadelf'd
beforehand. We also need to take into account one dropping to the loader
prompt and twiddling with things manually; if they try to toggle through
kernels, we'll assume they mean it.

For non-UEFI systems, boot.config(5) may have -s or -v specified for
single-user and verbose boot respectively. These were not being properly
taken into account and reflected in the "Boot Options" submenu. When we
initialize core.lua, we'll record boot_single and boot_verbose as we do ACPI
and consider these the system defaults.

This is a step in the process of easing migration into the new world order
of DRM drivers. Strongly encourage users towards loading DRM modules via
rc.conf(5) instead of loader.conf(5) by failing the load from loader(8).
Users so inclined may wipe out the blacklist via module_blacklist="" in
loader.conf(5), and it is expected that these modules will eventually be
removed from the blacklist. They may still be loaded as dependencies of
other modules or explicitly via the loader prompt, but this should not be a
major problem.

This was mostly a cosmetic issue. autoboot_delay=-1 is documented to bypass
the loader menu and immediately execute the boot command, but lualoader
would draw the menu and immediately execute the boot command. No interaction
was possible with the menu.
The fix lifts autoboot_delay processing out of menu.autoboot, which now
takes a delay and does nothing if no delay is specified. This lines up with
my expectations of menu.autoboot's usage from a third party, which may
want more control over the process than the default behavior.

Resetting to the default color scheme was done prior to reading the config.
This is bogus; colors may only be declined by the user with the
loader.conf(5) variable "loader_color", so such a request for no color will
not be completely honored as we reset to the default color scheme
unconditionally.

Earlier changes setup a config.module_path variable that was populated upon
reading of loader.conf(5) and used for restoring module_path to pristine
condition if multiple kernels are attempted. This broke the ability to
override module_path at the loader prompt in case of emergency.

While loader.conf(5) suggests that all values should be quoted, reality is
that this was never strictly enforced and it is used. We already make some
concession to this in number values, which aren't strictly quoted either.
The compromise here is that multi-word values must be quoted. This lets
things like `foo_load=YES` work, while denying more complex expressions on
the right hand side. This likely catches the vast majority of current usage.
A bit of a kludge is needed to accomplish this since Lua regex doesn't
support branching. I had considered splitting up expressions and generating
the right-hand side of the expressions completely in config.parse, but
deemed this too large of an overhaul to take given the current timing. This
should be re-worked shortly after the thaw.

lualoader was not respecting the 'xen_kernel' environment variable, which
hints to the interpreter that it should load a Xen kernel prior to loading
any other kernel that might be specified. If a Xen kernel is specified and
we fail to load it, we should not proceed to boot.

This includes some light rework to simplify the line parsing, as well. If
we hit a line match, we'll always either use the line and move on to the
next line, or we'll spew out malformed line errors.
We had multiple spots to output the error and set the status based on
whether we had a non-nil first capture group or failed EOL validation, but
it was always the same error. Light rework entails a small label jump to
skip error handling and elimination of 'found' local.
A couple of issues addressed:
1.) Modules with - in the name were not recognized as modules
2.) The module regex was repeated for each place a module name may appear
3.) The 'strip leading space' bits were repeated for each expression
4.) The trailing 'comment validation' stuff was repeated every expression
#4 still has some more work to be done. exec lines, for instance, don't
capture a 'value' -- there's only one capture pattern. This throws off the
'c' value that we match, so the trailing bits aren't *actually* being
validated. This isn't a new issue, though, so a future comit will address
this.
Remove a bunch of special cases for UEFI and serial consoles. We do
want to do curses and menu things here. This makes us match what we do

Now that a complete set is written, save for one describing loader.lua,
install all of them. This was not previously done as they were written to
hopefully avoid confusion as bits and pieces of the overall system were
undocumented.
Uncovered while writing the documentation from this, we previously
explicitly fell back to orb or orbbw if an invalid or incompatible logodef
was selected -- in contrast to branddefs, which have an exported variable
that one can whip up a quick local.lua to override in a safe manner that
works regardless of whether or not loader.conf(5) successfully loads.
These are less controversial than the others, thus done in a separate
commit. These are all used internally and ways to override are provided via
soon-to-be-documented API or loader.conf(5) variables.
Ideally, all of the functionality to revamp the loader screen has associated
APIs that are flexible enough that third-party scripts wouldn't need to
override these.

To recap the problem: with a black-on-white xterm, the menu draws terribly.
Ideally, we would try our best for a white-on-black context for the menu
since graphics and whatnot might not be tested for other setups and there's
no reasonable way to sample the terminal at this point for the used color
scheme.
This commit attempts to address that further in two ways:
- Instead of issuing CSI bg/fg resets (CSI 39m and CSI 49m respectively for
"default"), issue CSI bg/fg escape sequences for our expected color scheme
- Reset to *our* default color scheme before we even attempt to load the
local module, so that we personally don't have any earlier text with the
console default color scheme.

dteske@, I believe, had originally pointed out that lualoader failed to
allow logo-*.lua for new logos to be added. When correcting this mistake, I
failed to do the same for brands.
Correct the sub-mistake: creating new brands is almost identical to creating
new logos, except one must use `drawer.addBrand` and 'graphic' is the only
valid key for a branddef at the moment.
While here, I've added `drawer.default_brand` to be set to name of brand to
be used (e.g. 'fbsd', project default).
Eventually this whole goolash will be documented.
