stand/lua manuals: Describe better
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.

5029119797 stand: Retire setting hw.ata.wc: it doesn't exist.
hw.ata.wc was disconnected as part ot the 2013 cam-ification of ata. No
need to continue setting it. It's been unused in FreeBSD 10.x and newer.

5417db3a97 stand: Retire setting hw.eisa_slots.
When the eisa code was removed in 2017, prior to the stable/12 branch,
setting hw.eisa_slots became a nop. The oldest supported branch doesn't
have eisa at all. The need to set it manually on boot disappeared
largely by 2000...

16c09de801 loader: improve lua ACPI detection and handling
This is a follow-up patch to https://reviews.freebsd.org/D42459
that modifies the loader lua to use the correct loader variables
for determining ACPI availability.

This also fixes a bug where ACPI can be inadvertently disabled when
setting System Defaults at the loader menu.

566ac8bc76 loader: provide a features table for binary compatibility advertisement
liblua now provides a loader.has_feature() function to probe the loader
binary for features advertised.  name => desc mappings are provided in
loader.features to get a list of all of the features loader *can*
support.  core.hasFeature is provided as a shim to loader.has_feature
so that individual consumers don't need to think about the logic of the
loader module not providing has_feature; we know that means the feature
isn't enabled.

The first consumer of this will be EARLY_ACPI to advertise that the
loader binary probes for ACPI presence before the interpreter has
started, so that we know whether we can trust the presence of acpi.rsdp
as relatively authoritative.  In general, it's intended to be used to
avoid breaking new scripts on older loaders within reason.

This will be used in lua as `core.hasFeature("EARLY_ACPI")`, while the
C bits of loader will `feature_enable(FEATURE_EARLY_ACPI)`.
