problem with using a msgbox was one of truncation in the case of Xdialog(1)
and lack of screen real-estate (since the msgbox is not scrollable in X11
while a textbox is).
The textbox renders the text much better and is more appropriate for this
type of data display.

requests, default to the previous 60-seconds scheduling method
unless there is any @every_second entries to conserve CPU cycles and
power.
This change also improves scheduling in the default mode by running
as close to the beginning of the minnute as possible by replacing
sleep(3) with nanosleep(2). Previously, the tasks would run anywhere
within the first second of the minute and that offset drifted back
and forth each time cron(8) was engaged.

Mark variables static where possible and place the uid/euid variables in
lp.h, so that we can compile-time enforce that these variables have the
same type.

In addition to adding missing `static' keywords:
- bin/dd: Pull in `extern.h' to guarantee consistency with source file.
- libexec/rpc.rusersd: Move shared globals into an extern.h.
- libexec/talkd: Move `debug' and `hostname' into extern.h.
- usr.bin/cksum: Put counters in extern.h, as they are used by ckdist/mtree.
- usr.bin/m4: Move `end_result' into extern.h.
- usr.sbin/services_mkdb: Move shared globals into an extern.h.
In addition to adding `static' where possible:
- bin/date: Move `retval' into extern.h to make it visible to date.c.
- bin/ed: Move globally used variables into ed.h.
- sbin/camcontrol: Move `verbose' into camcontrol.h and fix shadow warnings.
- usr.bin/calendar: Remove unneeded variables.
- usr.bin/chat: Make `line' local instead of global.
- usr.bin/elfdump: Comment out unneeded function.
- usr.bin/rlogin: Use _Noreturn instead of __dead2.
- usr.bin/tset: Pull `Ospeed' into extern.h.
- usr.sbin/mfiutil: Put global variables in mfiutil.h.
- usr.sbin/pkg: Remove unused `os_corres'.
- usr.sbin/quotaon, usr.sbin/repquota: Remove unused `qfname'.
improve upon the system by giving the user a "Help" button instead of requiring
the user to press F1.
NOTE: In FreeBSD-9 and higher, dialog(1) does not support the F1 hook, so the
mechanism for providing help to the user had to be changed to a button.
This now means we can resurrect *.hlp files from usr.sbin/sysinstall/help/ as-
is and reusing them as-needed in bsdconfig (holding to the goal of losing as
little functionality from sysinstall as possible).

GIANT from VFS. In addition, disconnect also netsmb, which is a base
requirement for SMBFS.
In the while SMBFS regular users can use FUSE interface and smbnetfs
port to work with their SMBFS partitions.
Also, there are ongoing efforts by vendor to support in-kernel smbfs,
so there are good chances that it will get relinked once properly locked.

GIANT from VFS. In addition, disconnect also netncp, which is a base
requirement for NWFS.
In the possibility of a future maintenance of the code and later
readd to the FreeBSD base, maybe we should think about a better location
for netncp. I'm not entirely sure the / top location is actually right,
however I will let network people to comment on that more specifically.

boundary of the next minute, which results in the every_second jobs

only available via the new @every_second shortcut. ENOTIME to
implement crontab(5) format extensions to allow more flexible
scheduling.
In order to address some concerns expressed by Terry Lambert
while discussing the topic few years ago, about per-second cron
possibly causing some bad effects on /etc/crontab by stat()ing
it every second instead of every minute now (i.e. atime update),
only check that database needs to be reloaded on every 60-th
loop run. This should be close enough to the current behaviour.
Add "@every_minute" shortcut while I am here.
