assignments to the literal values it would have returned.
The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks
it creates are a drag on the startup process, which is especially
noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.

I purposely avoided making changes to network-related stuff since the
system shutting down is pretty conclusive, and there may be complicated
dependencies on the network that I would rather not try to unravel.
I also skipped kerberos-related stuff for the reasons above, and
because I have no way to test it.

for the rc.subr internals. Most scripts can be fixed by just
declaring _foo symbols as local: few scripts actually need them to
be global.

Unlike in the PR, I chose to do this in the lpd script where we reliably
have /usr available.
