f93d36fd92 Add "-q" argument to sysctl(8), which suppresses a limited set of warnings/
errors generated.  In particular, it suppresses "unknown oid" when
attempting to get or set a sysctl not present in the kernel.

a78d3eaffc Tighten up the string->integer conversion in sysctl(8):
(1) Reject zero-length strings for CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG,
    _ULONG.  Do not silently convert to 0.

(2) When converting CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG, and _ULONG, check the
    end pointer generated by strtol() and strtoul() rather than
    discarding it.  Reject the string if either none of the string
    was useful for conversion to an integer, or if there was
    trailing garbage.

I.e., we will not allow you to set a numeric sysctl to a value unless
we can completely convert the string argument to a numeric value.
I tripped over this when I put the following in /etc/sysctl.conf:

   kern.maxfiles="4000"

Ouch.

60cf2c1254 Export a (machine dependent) kernel variable bootdev as
machdep.guessed_bootdev, and add code to sysctl to parse its value
and give a (not necessarily correct) name to the device we booted
from (the main motivation for this code is to use the info in the
PicoBSD boot scripts, and the impact on the kernel is minimal).

NOTE: the information available in bootdev is not always reliable,
so you should not trust it too much.  The parsing code is the same
as in boot2.c, and cannot cover all cases -- as it is, it seems to
work fine with floppies and IDE disks recognised by the BIOS. It
_should_ work as well with SCSI disks recognised by the BIOS.
Booting from a CDROM in floppy emulation will return /dev/fd0 (because
this is what the BIOS tells us).
Booting off the network (e.g. with etherboot) leaves bootdev unset so
the value will be printed as "invalid (0xffffffff)".

Finally, this feature might go away at some point, hopefully when we
have a more reliable way to get the same information.

d58f005463 Allow setting of variables of type dev_t by indicating the name of
a special file on the command line, eg:
  sysctl kern.dumpdev=/dev/ad1s1b

In parse(), when a value is given for a CTLTYPE_QUAD variable,
newval and newsize erroneously fail to be set because of an early
"break".

show_var() contains code that duplicates the functionality of the
oidfmt() function.

6105f81565 Add code to export and print the description associated to sysctl
variables. Use the -d flag in sysctl(8) to see this information.

Possible extensions to sysctl:
 + report variables that do not have a description
 + given a name, report the oid it maps to.

Note to developers: have a look at your code, there are a number of
	variables which do not have a description.

Note to developers: do we want this in 4.5 ? It is a very small change
	and very useful for documentation purposes.

d0b8aabb19 Implement -e option. It modifies the output produced by sysctl(8) in
such a way that the name and the value of the variable(s) are separated
with `=' instead of the usual `: '.  This is useful for producing output
that can be fed back to the sysctl utility (pasted to sysctl.conf, for
example).

9a2402bc41 Try to make sysctl options slightly more orthogonal:
- introduce a -o option that displays opaque variables.
 - introduce a -x option that displays opaque variables in full.
 - deprecate -A in favor of -ao and -X in favor of -ax.
 - remove -A and -X from usage() and SYNOPSIS (but not from DESCRIPTION).
 - ignore -a if one or more variables were listed on the command line.
 - deprecate -w, it is not needed to determine the user's intentions.
 - some language and style cleanup in the man page.

This commit should not break any existing scripts.
