Log Message:
Rework the way orphan device instances are handled.  To achieve that, keep
track of instances attaching at root, and walk down the tree of active
device instances.  Then, all instances that are not marked active are
found as orphans.

Doing it that way allows us to simply ignore orphan devices, instead of
warning about them and still keep them in the configuration.  Now, orphaned
instances are considered as never having existed.

In the end, this allows 'no <device> at <attachment>' to be much more
efficient, as the user doesn't have to negate all descendents of the
instance s/he actually wants to negate.  Warnings are still emitted,
though.

While there, make official a side-effect of the previous lack of action
against orphaned instances:  config(1) used to warn about instances that
attach at a numbered device when no instance of that device with that
number existed, even though there was a starred instance of the device.

E.g. (provided by Alan Barrett):

    pciide* at pci? dev ? function ? flags 0x0000
    wdc0    at isa? port 0x1f0 irq 14 flags 0x00
    wdc1    at isa? port 0x170 irq 15 flags 0x00
    atabus* at ata?
    wd0     at atabus0 drive 0

With this commit, config(1) will no longer warn about 'wd0 at atabus0'.
