Log Message:
Make a first pass at documenting the module(9) subsystem.

BTW, I wondered what was the official name of this
when I maintained src/doc/CHANGES...

- src/sys/modules
- options MODULAR
- module(9)

Since all of the public API routines are named module_xxx() I figured that that was the best name for the subsystem.

src/sys/modules/ is where the loadable modules are placed, but the module subsystem lives in src/sys/kern/kern_module*.c

I'll be happy to change it if there's some concensus on what it should be. At this point I was more concerned about recording all the stuff I'd painstakingly gleaned over the past few months, from reading the sources over and over and over again!
