Fix for bug 4443 introduced support for remote ssh access and
possibility to run Automated Installer (AI) in debug mode.

Following new options are now recognized by AI:

livessh - if set to 'enable', remote ssh access is available

install_debug - if set to 'enable', Automated Installer runs
 in debug mode - see [*] for more details
 
These options can be specified along with other options in
installer config file, which is GRUB menu.lst for x86 or
install.conf file for Sparc.

Those configuration files are populated when install service
or client are created by 'installadm create-service' or
'installadm create-client' commands.

x86
---
menu.lst configuration file is created in /tftpboot/ directory
with following suffixes:

menu.lst.<service_name> (after 'installadm create-service -n 
<service_name> ...') or
menu.lst.01<mac> (after 'installadm create-client -e <mac> ...')

Options are provided as kernel parameters, e.g

kernel$ ... -B install_media=...,livessh=enable,install_debug=enable

sparc
-----
install.conf file is populated in <ai_image_dest> directory
when install service is created - e.g.
'installadm create-service -n <service_name> -s <ai_iso_image> 
<ai_image_dest>'

Options are defined as name-value pairs, e.g

$ cat <ai_image_dest>/install.conf
...
liveshh=enable
install_debug=enable
