Patch below changes the way mdconfig(8) parses its arguments:
it removes the ordering requirement and makes error messages
more descriptive; it also makes the code more readable by
getting rid of the 'cmdline' variable.

Now, the mdconfig(8) syntax is somewhat weird, and I'm not sure
I tested all the ways people use it.  Thus, testing is welcome.
