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.

.Pp
Before using the functionality provided by

it must be included with a statement such as the following:

.Dl local password = require("password")
.Pp
The following functions are exported from
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width "Fn password.read prompt_length" -offset indent
.It Fn password.read prompt_length
Read a password following a prompt.
.Fa prompt_length
is required so that the twiddle may be properly drawn as the user is typing.
.It Fn password.check
Drives the primary password checks done by the loader.
The
.Fn password.check
function will check
.Ev bootlock_password ,
.Ev geom_eli_passphrase_prompt ,
and
.Ev password
and prompt the user for passwords as-needed.
If
.Ev password
is set, the autoboot sequence will begin as the user is prompted for a password.
