[RELEASE] New Boot-Loader Menu -- version 1.6

[Devin Teske]

Hi Hackers,

I'm pleased to announce version 1.6 of my new boot loader menu software.

NOTE: Version 1.6 has the same look and feel as version 1.5. No new screenshots needed.

This is a general cleanup with the below notable changes:

1. Change chkpassword.4th to query "password" environment variable instead of "loader_password" (for backward compatibility)
2. Rename chkpasswd function in chkpassword.4th to check-password (for backward compatibility)
3. Rename chkpassword.4th to check-password.4th (for consistency)
4. Replace conflicting check-password function in /boot/loader.4th with "include /boot/check-password.4th"
5. Remove conflicting password routines from /boot/support.4th
6. [Re-]Implement beastie-start in beastie.4th (for backward compatibility)
7. Replace loader.rc in the package with the default version provided on i386-compatible installs
8. Remove default delay in loading /boot/menu.rc (still available by setting loader_delay in loader.conf(5) but disabled by default now)
9. Add $FreeBSD$ CVS keywords in preparation of commit to HEAD
10. Fix a couple typos in comments
11. Add support for autoboot_delay="NO" or autoboot_delay="-1" in menu.4th to disable the menu timeout
12. Add missing cleanup routine to menu-clear in menu.4th
13. Add the following manpages:
	/usr/share/man/man8/beastie.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/brand.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/check-password.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/color.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/delay.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/menu.4th.8.gz
	/usr/share/man/man8/version.4th.8.gz
14. Update loader.conf.5 manpage to include documentation on new loader_logo values (``orb'' and ``orbbw''), also documenting the new default (orbbw).
