ff87ae350e Export a list of VM objects in the system via a sysctl. The list can be
examined via 'vmstat -o'.  It can be used to determine which files are
using physical pages of memory and how much each is using.

e1ba604a96 Update vmstat usage for last-argument count/wait parameters
Correct the usage in both the manpage and in usage() to indicate
that the wait interval and repetition count may be given either
with the respective -w/-c arguments, or as the final positional
arguments. [0]

The corresponding code to implement the positional arguments has
been conditional on the (always-enabled) BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY
macro since the original 4.4-lite import.  It's no longer reasonable
to remove the functionality, so remove the macro and conditional
instead.

Note that multiple disks may be given on the command line.

While here, sort arguments and apply minor mdoc fixes.

4adb5266e8 Add the -H, -h and -P flags to vmstat. -P causes per-cpu output of
user/system/idle stats.  -h feeds the memory column through
humanize_number() to reduce the amount of column overflowing.  -H turns
this off.  -h is turned on by default if stdout is a tty.

c51633823d Finish the transition from libkvm to sysctl that I started a while ago.
The use of libkvm for post-mortem analysis is still supported (though it
could use more testing).  We can now remove vmstat's setgid bit.

While I'm here, hack the interrupt listing code to not display interrupts
that haven't occurred unless the -a option was given on the command line,
and document this change.

4faf42f3ae Fix vmstat display problems. The header printout wasn't quite right, and
the display wrapped around.

This decreases the default maximum number of disks shown to 2, so things
don't wrap around so easily.  Also, it fixes the header display issues.
