This patch performs an initial import of the infrastructure and a
subset of the NetBSD set of rc startup and shutdown scripts. The
"initial" refers to the fact that this is not yet a full switch to the
NetBSD rc system: the MINIX ramdisk rc script, which (typically) runs
as the first thing, is kept as is. After mounting the root file
system, the ramdisk rc script will start the NetBSD rc infrastructure
by invoking /etc/rc, however. The regular MINIX startup-and-shutdown
script has been moved from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.minix, and is now
invoked as part of the NetBSD rc infrastructure through a bridge rc
script /etc/rc.d/minixrc. /etc/rc.minix invokes /usr/etc/rc as before.
Switching over the ramdisk to the NetBSD system and decomposing the
MINIX rc.minix script into smaller components are left to future work.
Also, the current pkgsrc etc/rc.d auto-start functionality is left as
is, even though it should be removed (see the etc/usr/rc comment).

This rename is unfortunately necessary because NetBSD has decided to
create its own service(8) utility, and we will want to import theirs
as well. The two can obviously not coexist.
Also move ours from /bin to /sbin, as it is a superuser-only utility.

Scripts for generating boot-to-ramdisk images are now available. These
can be used for example to boot from PXE or from a USB stick, as the
ramdisk are self-contained and do not rely on any block devices after
being loaded into RAM.
The image generation framework has also been slightly cleaned up in
order to better accomodate tarball sets bundling in images.

The CD now boots directly from the ISO 9660 filesystem instead of using
MBR partitioning with Minix file systems. This saves some space on the
CD and reduces memory requirements by some unknown amount as the root
ramdisk is completely eliminated.
The x86 hard drive image creation is also rewritten in the same
fashion.
The setup is modified to be more NetBSD-like (unpacking sets
tarballs instead of blindly copying the CD contents). Splitting MINIX
into sets is done in another commit due to it being a nightmare to
rebase.
Since MINIX lacks union mounts for now, a bunch of ramdisks are
generated at run-time to make parts of the filesystem writeable for the
CD. This solution isn't ideal, but it's enough for an installation CD.

Trying to boot Minix3 master on an appliance/sbc like ALIX fails, as
the service command throws an error. Making the rc script more robust
solves it.

- Adding missing fields for PCI device lookup
- Adding the domain (for now set to zero) as part of the slot name

. the minix init started rc with the 'bootargs' variable.
this can now be cleanly passed to rc by executing sysenv
from the ramdisk rc script.

This concerns all services, a.k.a drivers, filesystem drivers, network
(inet, lwip, uds) servers, and the system servers.
