rS295471: Add new rc.conf parameter "jail_reverse_stop"

Summary

Updated revision from D2088:
You can enable specific jails in /etc/rc.conf via jail_list="" and the order in which you list them affects the order they are started. However, the order is not reversed during shutdown which can break dependencies between jails/services and prevent a clean shutdown of a user's environment.

A proposed switch could be added to rc.conf to enable the jails to stop in reverse, but not for invocations of the form "service jail stop j1 j2 j3"

jail_reverse_stop="YES"

TIL rc.subr has reverse_list, so the old patch didn't need to to it by hand!

This has the optional knob, and avoids the reversal when jails are specified on the command line, which is both of the things we needed. It works on testing, so it's good by me.
