Startup scripts for md(4) devices

I’ve been working on two scripts to handle md(4) devices (creation, mount, populating) lately.

There have been two rc.d scripts (ramdisk and ramdisk-own) for quite some time but it was limited to swap and malloc backed devices. So, these new scripts allow to create vnode backed md(4) devices at startup. I’ve also included support for mkuzip compressed files (as requested by anders).

It has been committed to HEAD some days ago. I haven’t planned MFC yet, but if I get enough successful reports and requests, I might commit it to RELENG_6 before 6.2R is released.
