Retire MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE options from the MFS implementation.
Add MD_ROOT and MD_ROOT_SIZE options to the md driver.
Make the md driver handle MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE options for compatibility.
Add md driver to GENERIC, PCCARD and LINT.
This is a cleanup which removes the need for some of the worse hacks in
MFS: We really want to have a rootvnode but MFS on a preloaded image
doesn't really have one. md is a true device, so it is less trouble.
This has been tested with make release, and if people remember to add
the "md" pseudo-device to their kernels, PicoBSD should be just fine
as well. If people have no other use for MFS, it can be removed from
the kernel.
