bufq and NEW_BUFQ_STRATEGY

NetBSD recently reworked their disk buffer system. They then added a new strategy option which improves the response time of the system by giving more priority to reads. I ported it to OpenBSD. It works quite well. Compiling without the new strategy should be equivalent to the current system, just with the code moved around. The new option makes things a tiny bit slower, but improves "feel".
