    kernel: Implement sysctl 'debug.dump_modinfo' to dump boot metadata
    
    The boot metadata (also referred to as modinfo, or preload metadata)
    provides information about the size and location of the kernel,
    pre-loaded modules, and other metadata (e.g. the EFI framebuffer) to be
    consumed during by the kernel during early boot. It is encoded as a
    series of type-length-value entries and is usually constructed by
    loader(8) and passed to the kernel.
    
    Although much of the module information is available via kldstat(8),
    there is no easy way to debug the metadata in its entirety. Add some
    routines to parse this data and allow it to be printed to the console
    during early boot or output via the sysctl 'debug.dump_modinfo'.
