SR-IOV Patch Series 7/7: rc.d script to invoke iovctl(8)

iovctl(8) is a new tool that I have written to configure PCI SR-IOV on
drivers that support the feature.  This patch adds a new rc.d script
that will invoke iovctl during boot on a user-configurable set of
configuration files (one config file per device).  The script runs
pretty early during boot because enabling SR-IOV might, for example
cause new network interfaces to be created (hence netif running after
iovctl).
