mountroot should probe file systems

When mounting root from hammer, it is necessary to specify the file system type in the vfs.root.mountfrom setting, otherwise the machine will just be unhappy and issue the mountroot prompt (or rather, directly go to ddb, see other bug report). This is very inconvenient and irritating. The kernel should try all available file systems to mount root.

Possibly this should also be extended to mount itself, but this bug report only deals with the mountroot issue.
