svn: releng/10.3/sys: boot/common kern

[Maxim Sobolev]

Is it possible perhaps for the installkernel target to extract the version
number from the /boot/loader and warn user or abort operation if that
version is known not to support this feature? This would be ultimate
anti-foot-shooting safeguard for people who are used to the normal
installkernel->reboot->installworld FreeBSD upgrade sequence.
