Allow overriding of rc.conf options via kernel cmdline

This adds a new function that allows us to override some specific rc.conf
options via the kernel cmdline aka /proc/cmdline.
This makes esp. sense in cases where a rc_parallel enabled system has boot
issues. Simply disable rc_parallel by appending rc_parallel=no to your kernel
cmdline.
