This is useful for driving BE changes from the loader command prompt,
rather than having to use the menu. Note that the active carousel in
the boot environment carousel doesn't currently reflect a switch in
boot environments done this way- I'm considering this only a minor bug,
as you probably can't or won't go back to the menu if you're using these
commands.

This allows something like the following local.lua to install a filter
to implement its own notion of hidden BEs using a naming convention of
a leading dot to hide them:
-- file: /boot/lua/local.lua
local core = require("core")
local function be_hide(be)
if core.isSingleUserBoot() then
-- All BEs are accepted for single-user
return true
end
local name = be:match("/([^/]+)$")
if not name then
-- Accept malformed BEs, for whatever reason
return true
end
return name:match("^%.") == nil
end
if core.bootenvFilter then
-- Just in case we need to be compatible with older versions of
-- core.lua without the filtering functionality.
core.bootenvFilter(be_hide)
end
-- EOF

The lua boot loader module manuals were getting pulled into search
results for FreeBSD, but not for "boot" or "loader". Reword them to
increase clarity for boot or loader searches, as well as the FreeBSD
search term which we've been scoping to system topic overview manuals.

liblua now provides a loader.has_feature() function to probe the loader
binary for features advertised. name => desc mappings are provided in
loader.features to get a list of all of the features loader *can*
support. core.hasFeature is provided as a shim to loader.has_feature
so that individual consumers don't need to think about the logic of the
loader module not providing has_feature; we know that means the feature
isn't enabled.
The first consumer of this will be EARLY_ACPI to advertise that the
loader binary probes for ACPI presence before the interpreter has
started, so that we know whether we can trust the presence of acpi.rsdp
as relatively authoritative. In general, it's intended to be used to
avoid breaking new scripts on older loaders within reason.
This will be used in lua as `core.hasFeature("EARLY_ACPI")`, while the
C bits of loader will `feature_enable(FEATURE_EARLY_ACPI)`.

hw.ata.wc was disconnected as part ot the 2013 cam-ification of ata. No
need to continue setting it. It's been unused in FreeBSD 10.x and newer.
Sponsored by: Netflix
When the eisa code was removed in 2017, prior to the stable/12 branch,
setting hw.eisa_slots became a nop. The oldest supported branch doesn't
have eisa at all. The need to set it manually on boot disappeared
largely by 2000...

This is a follow-up patch to https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42459
that modifies the loader lua to use the correct loader variables
for determining ACPI availability.
This also fixes a bug where ACPI can be inadvertently disabled when
setting System Defaults at the loader menu.
