[Thinbsd] Screen resolution no longer hardcoded

Since it seemed there was a need to specify the screen resolution,
I have added some dhcp parameter to do just that.
It was previously hardcoded to 1280x1024.
The following dhcp options can now be configured:
option thinbsd-xres code 131 = text;
option thinbsd-yres code 132 = text;
option thinbsd-hfreq code 133 = text;
option thinbsd-vfreq code 134 = text;
They should be self-explanatory.
For now, the frequencies are unused, though.
They are written in /etc/thinbsd.conf and they only need to be put into
xorg.conf by /usr/local/etc/rc.d/xorg.sh in the ramdisk.
I will probably modify this file in the future.
The new image can be downloaded from this URL:

thinbsd-xres and thinbsd-yres *must* now be configured on your dhcp server
for the system to start properly.
In addition, I have updated the developer's guide to explain the
autoconfiguration process during the system startup.
Enjoy !
