rS356539: md(4): improve documentation of preloading

Summary

It's not immediately clear by what mechanism loader(8) will be loading the preloaded file. Specifically name-drop loader.conf(5) with a pointer to the module loading section and a description of what the 'name' should look like, because that certainly isn't clear from the loader.conf(5) standpoint.

The default loader.conf already has a pointer to md(4) where it appears and the reference to loader.conf in the new version of this manpage should make it more clear that this is where one should look for information.

60 ↗	(On Diff #65729)	whoops, yeah- it can't deal with files that don't exist in any case. It made a little more sense in my first local iteration. =-)
