- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the 10.0-RELEASE cycle. - Update __FreeBSD_version [1] - Set branch name to -RC1
[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with a value ending in zero.

Building upon SVN r254237, disable automated activation of alternate layouts and add support for default underride to $loader_version, acting as a way to name a release. Release text is not displayed for the aforementioned feature of alternate display layout (introduced in r254237); however, for all other layouts (incl. default), the release name is displayed at lower-right.
See version.4th(8) for additional information and/or historical details. NOTE: Also a minor edit to version.4th(8) while we're here.

Add optional support for default override of standard setup; but only if corresponding functions are provided. If override function does not exist, boot remains unmodified. This patch should not result in any changes.

Since the introduction of SVN r244048 and [follow-up] r244089, it is now safe to build upon ``boot_serial?'' functionality to make safer UI choices.

Add an echo to say we're "Booting..." when the overloaded "boot" Ficl word is executed to better differentiate between loader-specific errors and kernel- specific errors (if ever any of either).
This type of functionality hasn't been required before the introduction of the advanced menu system (r222417). Adding this functionality will help different- iate errors at the loader-level such as a BTX halt caused by heap exhaustion and errors that may be involved with executing the kernel (wrong architecture for example). A user can learn that messages before "Booting..." are related to the loader(8) environment and it's Forth-ilk, while those after are not related to loader(8) -- the point that loader(8) has ``left the building''.
This patch also includes a man-page update to color.4th(8) as the color logic moves to a lower-level (from being included by beastie.4th to being included by loader.4th).
After noticing a delay between execution of the overloaded "boot" FICL word and the display of text on-screen, gcooper confirmed that the introduction of a builtin memory test (disabled by adding hw.memtest.tests="0" to loader.conf(5)) was the cause of the delay.
This patch adds an echo to produce "Booting..." when the overloaded "boot" word is executed (this includes from the interactive command-prompt on all arches, from the menu system on arches that run the beastie menu, and even those arches that run the menu but disable it by setting beastie_disable="YES" in loader.conf(5)). When loader_color="YES" in loader.conf(5), the same message is produced but in white text on a blue background (only the letters produced have this background -- opposed to perhaps the entire line).

Don't display option 2 (to toggle ACPI on or off) on x86 machines if the BIOS does not support ACPI. The other options in the menu retain their existing numbers, option 2 is simply blanked out (and '2' is ignored).

Remove support for autoloading ACPI from the loader. Leave in the code to detect ACPI and export info such as the location of the RSDP via hints as that is still useful.

Fix a bunch of stack leaks. These were theoretically harmless, except that they would leave enough elements on the stack that if you escaped to the loader prompt and then typed 'setenv', it would pull in all of the leaked junk and cause an exception in the environment. There still seems to be 3 leaked elements, but they don't appear to be coming from this file.

Add a loader menu option to set hint.atkbd.0.flags=0x1 which allows USB keyboards to work if no PS/2 keyboard is attached. The position in the menu was chosen to avoid moving option 6 (loader prompt). This should be a no-op on non-i386/amd64 machines.
