loader manuals: Clarify console and boot_serial
console=comconsole is for the loader and boot_serial is for the kernel. I think we should centralize documentation on the loader settings in one manual, such a loader.8. The current proliferation is not obvious where to find the documentation. To the user, these are all set in loader.conf or at the loader prompt.
