Ldto status does not report "active" overlays

Whatever “in the wiring tool” means, as ldto doesn’t seem to have any self-help other than the simple list of commands, just like the brief mention in the wiring tool’s github README (but without even the sketchy descriptions in the latter).

The feature listed as under development, to apply raspbian’s config.txt, might be a step in the right direction, though I’d be more comfortable with a mechanism like Beagle’s uEnv.txt, which does the DT munging before the kernel boots - less chance of races, I would think, if my assumption that this would be run during the OS boot.

Hacking u-boot environment is more confusing and risk prone than our design.

Overlays are a vital part of the system config, and I hate config that’s hidden.

It’s not hidden. It’s open source…
