[arch-projects] [INITSCRIPTS][PATCH 1/3] Fix console verbosity and add config via rc.conf

[Sebastien Luttringer]

This patch fix verbosity which use var exported by initcpio in place of kernel.

Verbosity is an initscripts parameter, so it should have a definition in rc.conf.
Kernel parameter should be a shortcut. New option is called VERBOSE.
