Mike Smith 06b57b0e09 Bootstrap updates.
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
 - Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions.  These will be
   obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
   area becomes directly addressable.
 - Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
   and arbitrary type string with it.  This can be used eg. for loading
   splash-screen images etc.
 - Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure.  We know how to look for
   dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
   and what to do if things go wrong.  Only works for a.out at the
   moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader.  Attach KLD module information
   to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
   can find it itself).
 - Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary.  Only pad the a.out BSS
   for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away.  (We might want
   to do this for KLD modules too.)
 - Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
   it with things like 'echo'.  Add 'echo'.
 - Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
 - Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
 - Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
   (not terribly useful for the average user)
 - Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
 - The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
   /boot directory to use that name.
 - Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
   arch_readin()
