Loading the kernel and modules can be really slow. Loading before the menu
draws and every time one changes kernel/boot environment is even more
painful.
Defer loading until we either boot, auto-boot, or escape to loader prompt.
We still need to deal with configuration changes as the boot environment
changes, but this is generally much quicker.
This commit strips all ELF loading out of config.load/config.reload so that
these are purely for configuration. config.loadelf has been created to deal
with kernel/module loads. Unloading logic has been ripped out, as we won't
need to deal with it in the menu anymore.

These are the style points that I'd like to try and maintain in our lua
scripts:
- Parentheses around conditionals
- Trailing semicolons, except on block terminators
- s:method(...) instead of string.method(s, ...) where applicable
There's likely more, but that'll get hammered out as we continue.
Set it based on hint.acpi.0.rsdp. Initially, hint.acpi.0.disabled will be
respected. "Using System Defaults" will override whether it's explicitly
disabled by hint and re-load it based on whether it's present on the system.
Unlike the 4th version, this is not restricted to x86. I have no strong
reasoning for this, so this is definitely open to change.
These are the .lua files from from Pedro Souza's 2014 Summer of Code
project. Rui Paulo, Pedro Arthur and Wojciech A. Koszek also

Use loader.setenv and loader.unsetenv instead of loader.perform
Convert from include("/boot/foo.lua") to foo = require("foo");
to bring in line with latest lua module conventions.
Enforce a uniform style for the new .lua files:
o hard tab indenation for 8 spaces
o don't have if foo then bar; else bas; end on one line
