The current situation is fairly confusing, where an integer is interpreted
as a percent until you slap a decimal on it and magically it becomes an
absolute value.
Let's have a flag day in 14.0 and remove this shim entirely. Setting with
percent can still be useful, so allow a trailing '%' to indicate as such.
As a side effect, we tighten down the format allowed in the volume a little
bit by ensuring there's no trailing garbage after the value once it's
separated into left and right components.

FreeBSD 14.0 is going to ship with a new implementation of the mixer(8)
command. Unfortunately, in order to support new features like mute, the
command-line interface of the new implementation is not backwards
compatible.
Update all the remaining documentation and scripts in the src tree
to use the new syntax.
While here, document in usbhidaction.1 that the mute functionality is
now supported.

It turns out that examples were incorrectly referring to Volume_Up
and Volume_Down, which are not defined at all.
