lualoader: Add config.lua(8) to the tree

[kevans]

Just a note: Anywhere I wrote {kernel} is because I couldn't come up with a better markup. I have no idea what the ideal syntax is for "this is a path with this variable substituted in" rather than "this is a path with this variable name literally in it"

Per discussions over the last few months, remove "All rights reserved."

I think config.loadKernel needs a re-write. As it stands, if says that if you don't specify the new kernel to load, it will attempt to load a module named kernel, and that it will try {kernel} (with no /boot/ prefix) twice.

"restore the environment" to what?

Perhaps ${kernel}, a la Bourne?

I rewrote some things around all of your comments, but it's early. =) The config.loadKernel was mostly-ish correct, but I rewrote the {kernel} instances to {other_kernel} and rewrote other parts for clarity. I also added some paragraph breaks for additional clarity (hopefully).

I've reviewed the mdoc side of this change. Looks fine!

BTW, should we add some cross-references from other manpages to config.lua(8)?

Thanks! I'll add all appropriate cross-references once I've got the complete set of manpages up.
