    stand/lua: always allow overriding with local config files
    
    Loader now also read configuration files listed in local_loader_conf_files.
    Files listed here are the last ones read. And /boot/loader.conf.local was
    moved from loader_conf_files to local_loader_conf_files leaving only
    loader.conf and device.hints in loader_conf_files by default.
    
    The idea is to ensure local_loader_conf_files, i.e., /boot/loader.conf.local,
    can always be used to override other user defined settings.
    
    So the sequencing is now as follow:
    
     1. Bootstrap:
         /boot/defaults/loader.conf
    
     2. Read loader_conf_files files:
         /boot/device.hints
         /boot/loader.conf
    
     3. Read loader_conf_dirs files:
         /boot/loader.conf.d/*.conf
    
     4. And finally, rread local_loader_conf_files files:
         /boot/loader.conf.local
