[settings] Allow for autovivification of settings blocks

Allow for settings blocks to be created on demand.  This allows for
constructions such as

  set defaults/filename http://bootserver/bootfile
  set defaults/priority 0xff
  dhcp net0
  chain ${filename}

which will boot from the DHCP-provided filename, or from
"http://bootserver/bootfile" if the DHCP server does not provide a
filename.

(Note that "priority" gets interpreted as a signed integer, so setting
"defaults/priority" to 0xff will cause the "defaults" settings block
to have an effective priority of -1.)
