The lua boot loader module manuals were getting pulled into search
results for FreeBSD, but not for "boot" or "loader". Reword them to
increase clarity for boot or loader searches, as well as the FreeBSD
search term which we've been scoping to system topic overview manuals.

The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

This effectively dumps everything lualoader knows about to the console using
the libsa pager; that particular lua interface was added in r368591.
A pager stub implementation has been added that just dumps the output as-is
as a compat shim for older loader binaries that do not have lpager. This
stub should be moved into a more appropriate .lua file if we add anything
else that needs the pager.
Specifically, we have:
- enable-module
- disable-module
- toggle-module
These can be used to add/remove modules to be loaded or force modules to be
loaded in spite of modules_blacklist. In the typical case, a user is
expected to use them to recover an issue happening due to a module directive
they've added to their loader.conf or because they discover that they've
under-specified what to load.

This command will trigger a reload of the configuration from disk. This is
useful if you've changed currdev from recovery media to local disk as much
as I have over the past ~2 hours and are tired of the extra keystrokes.
This is really just a glorified shortcut, but reload-conf is likely easier
to remember for other people and does save some keystrokes when reloading
the configuration. It is also resilient to the underlying config method
changing interface, but this is unlikely to happen.
