Document my recent changes to rc.subr(8):
- there is $required_modules now;
- $required_* are checked before invoking a custom start method, too.

certain conditions. I haven't been able to find a better solution yet:
- Set a two read-only variables (${prefix} and ${etcdir}). This is
especially useful when using /etc/rc.d scripts with third-party
software installed from ports.
- Fix rc.d/sshd to work with openssh from ports using ${etcdir}
instead of hardcoded /etc.
- Reflect prefix/etcdir changes in rc.subr.8.

of them do that conditionally depending on kldstat. The code is
duplicated all over, but bugs can be uniqie.
To make the things more consistent, introduce a new rc.subr function,
load_kld, which takes care of loading a kernel module conditionally.
(Found this lying for a while in my p4 branch for various hacks.)

as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...
Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the
script which separates the early and late stages of the boot process.
Default this to mountcritlocal, and add text to etc/defaults/rc.conf,
rc.conf(5) and diskless(8) which describes how and why one might want
to change this.

where applicable. The main reason for this change is that
the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF. This change also improves
hyper-text linkage in our manpages.

NetBSD rev. 1.12
Implement ``one'' prefix to allow a "one shot" operation as if
${rcvar}=yes yet all the other prerequisite tests are still performed.
The existing ``force'' prefix is a sledgehammer that ignores all the
prerequisite checks and always returns a zero exit status; this is a
more gentle approach to the problem of "manipulate this disabled
service without editing rc.conf(5)".

- Sort MAN and MLINKS in "dictionary" order ignoring case.
- For multi-value MAN and multi-pair MLINKS, put each value/pair
on its own line, for easier sorting and so that further diffs
are easier to see.
kernel BOOTP options is *not* required if the boot loader can pass
network configuration information to the kernel using the kernel
environment. As such, PXE doesn't require them. However, the NFS
options are required in the kernel (previously not documented).

/rescue, from section 7 to section 8. The old rescue.7 file has been
simply subjected to "cvs rm", as there is no history to preserve.
Update the release documentation accordingly.
