introduce /etc/bsd.re-config which can be used to configure the kernel

using config(8);

the contents of this configuration file will be fed to config(8) after
kernel relinking is done, so on the next boot the new kernel will have
all the configuration changes set by the user

this comes handy if you still want to use KARL while making changes
to the GENERIC kernel
