6b9597aac4 Correct the description for CTLFLAG_TUN and CTLFLAG_RDTUN, the declaring of a 
system tunable has never been implemented. This flag is only used by sysctl(8)
to provide a helpful error message.

Discussed with:	dwhite, kan

cbc134ad03 Introduce signed and unsigned version of CTLTYPE_QUAD, renaming 
existing uses.  Rename sysctl_handle_quad() to sysctl_handle_64().

f8e4b4ef49 sysctl(8) should use the CTLTYPE to determine the type of data when 
reading.  (This was already done for writing to a sysctl).  This
requires all SYSCTL setups to specify a type.  Most of them are now
checked at compile-time.

Remove SYSCTL_*X* sysctl additions as the print being in hex should be
controlled by the -x flag to sysctl(8).

7f41115ef6 Implement the following macros for completeness: 
SYSCTL_QUAD()
	SYSCTL_ADD_QUAD()
	TUNABLE_QUAD()
	TUNABLE_QUAD_FETCH()

Now we can use 64bit tunables on 32bit systems.

c157a036a9 Add an extension to the UINT & ULONG types. The XINT & XLONG types behave 
the same, except sysctl(8) will print out the values in hex.

dba9e9ccbf Add a basic man page for the sysctl(9) macro interfaces. Previously man 
pages existed only for the dynamic sysctl interfaces.  There's probably
more complete and accurate content, better advice, etc, that could be added
here.

Per scottl's suggest, add a small piece of moralizing text regarding the
fact that sysctl names quickly get embedded in system configuration files,
libraries, third party applications, and even books, so renaming and
removing names after they've been published is a tricky issue.
