- Make the -k "don't actually halt" flag incompatible with
the halt/reboot options -h, -p, and -r.
- The -n "don't sync" option is ignored if -k is specified.
Issue a warning message.
- Compute the actual shutdown time written to /var/run/nologin
correctly in the case of "now" being specified.
This is inteded for to allow ifconfig to print various unstructured
information from an interface.

Initial use:
Now tun* interfaces tell the PID of the process which opened them.
Future uses could be (volounteers welcome!):
Have ppp/slip interfaces tell which tty they use.
Make sync interfaces return their media state: red/yellow/blue
alarm, timeslot assignment and so on.
Make ethernets warn about missing heartbeats and/or cables
"nowin95" as arguments to the "-o" flag, as alternatives to "-G", "-s",
"-l", and "-9"; when running "mount_msdos" by hand, that doesn't let you
do anything you couldn't already do, but if you're letting "mount" run
it, it lets you specify those options, which is especially useful if,
for example, you have an entry in "/etc/fstab" for some file system,
with "noauto" set, so you can conveniently mount a DOS partition from a
removable drive and force it to treat the file system as VFAT rather
than boring old FAT.

One could now use such a name by escaping the ``-'' characters.
For example:
# ipfw add 1 count tcp from any to any "ms\-sql\-s"
# ipfw add 2 count tcp from any ftp\\-data-ftp to any

This means that the driver will add/delete routes when it knows it is
up/down, rather than have the generic code belive it is up if configured.
This is probably most useful for serial lines, although many PHY chips
could probably tell us if we're connected to the cable/hub as well.
sizeof(ifr->ifr_addr) for the variable length field ifr->ifr_addr.sa_len.
Otherwise the increment will be wrong in certain cases.

SIOCGIFCONF should be dropped in favor of a sysctl mechanism.
+ add a missing call to dn_rule_delete() when flushing firewall
rules, thus preventing possible panics due to dangling pointers
(this was already done for single rule deletes).
+ improve "usage" output in ipfw(8)
+ add a few checks to ipfw pipe parameters and make it a bit more
tolerant of common mistakes (such as specifying kbit instead of Kbit)

These changes are fully backwards compatible with the original device
specification syntax (-n dev -u unit), so it is possible to use either
method to specify a device now.
The device specification changes do not affect the rescan, reset or debug
commands, since by design, those commands work on a bus or bus:target:lun
basis only.
Also, shorten the default usage statement so that it fits in a 24 column
terminal. The full usage statement is still available by using the "help"
"-h" or "-?" arguments to camcontrol.
