Re-apply the -S switch to disable soft-updates in memory disks (commit
8b1292ac52). This might be beneficial when tmpfs(5) is not present in
the kernel, as this can cause mdmfs(8)'s auto keyword to fallback to
using md(4).

Currently, rc.inidiskless assumes that local system configuration
changes are kept in some mountable file system. For example,
nanobsd uses dedicated partition mounted as /cfg for this.
However, small embedded devices like MIPS routers may have no enough flash
space to keep full-blown file system but have only one or couple
small flash blocks to keep persistent local configuration overrides.
This change extends rc.initdiskless and introduces ability to run auxiliary
command /conf/T/M/extract that is supposed to extract configuration overrides
from such local storage.
For example, the command /conf/default/etc/extract may contain something like:
cd "$1" && bsdcpio --quiet -idu < /dev/map/cfg
bsdcpio command extracts compressed archive from the storage to /etc
assuming the storage is exposed by the kernel as /dev/map/cfg to userland.

The reasons for this are forward looking to pkgbase:
* /sbin/init is a special binary; try not to replace it with
every package update because an rc script was touched.
(a follow-up commit will make init its own package)
* having rc in its own place will allow more easy replacement
of the rc framework with alternatives, such as openrc.
