[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 5/5] package/initscripts: add service to load kernel modules at boot

[Angelo Compagnucci <angelo@amarulasolutions.com>]

In cases where no hotplug is available (by choice or by the lack of a
proper hotplug method for a device), this service can be used to load
kernel module drivers by reading the /etc/modules file.
The modules files matches the one used by systemd, which in turn has
a builtin mechanism to load a module at boot, therefore making systemv
init on par with systemd features.

Changes

v2:
* Moved script to initscripts (Arnout)
* Moved script to S11modules, after S10[mu]dev (Andreas)
* Use /etc/modules-load.d/ to share the same setup with systemd (me)
