[Bug 286559] Inaccurately-specified boot_mute does not span rc initialization

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=286559

            Bug ID: 286559
           Summary: Inaccurately-specified boot_mute does not span rc
                    initialization
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sgharms@stevengharms.com

Given that the boot_mute function is presently, and confusingly (SEE: bug
#286556), de facto used to display a beastie orb + logo graphic during boot up
while using vt(4), it should retain its effect to login prompt (or display
manager intervention).

This is confirmed by Warner Losh[1]:

> The logo + beastie orb is the preferred way for graphics
> consoles to have graphics all the way from the boot loader
> until X11 starts.
