boot_mute="YES" option

This option is intended to suppress all boot time messages following the timed delay message. Only the boot prob messages are being suppressed. All the starting services messages are NOT being suppressed. 

The boot time logic for starting services need to be made aware of the boot_mute="YES" option and suppress their services starting messages when this option is enabled.

Log:
  Clarify that boot_mute / boot -m mutes kernel console only

  Perhaps RB_MUTE could mute user startup (rc) output as well, but right
  now it mutes only kernel console output, so make the documentation match
  reality.
