Clarify the documentation of pmcstat:
the -d argument should be passed before -p, -s, -P or -S to be taken in account

Add a command line argument (-l) to end event collection after some
number of seconds. The number of seconds may be a fraction.

In one case generating callgraph output from a 24MB system-wide sampling
data file took 17.4 seconds on average. Profiling showed pmcstat
spending a lot of time in strcmp, due to hash collisions.
Replacing the XOR-only hash with FNV-1a reduces the run time for my
test by 40%.
Add the -a option to pmcstat. This produces a full stack track on the
sampled points. See the man page for details on how this works.

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'.
New kernel events can be added at various location for sampling or counting.
This will for example allow easy system profiling whatever the processor is
with known tools like pmcstat(8).
Simultaneous usage of software PMC and hardware PMC is possible, for example
looking at the lock acquire failure, page fault while sampling on
instructions.

In case of multiple level of inlining all the locations are flattened.
Require recent binutils/addr2line (head works or binutils from ports
with the right $PATH order).
- Multiple fixes in the calltree output (recursion case, ...)
- Fix the calltree top view that previously hide some shared nodes.
Tested with Kcachegrind(kdesdk4)/qcachegrind(head).

As the underlying block is 4KB if the PMC throughput is low the measurement
will be reported on the next tick. pmcstat(8) use the modified flush API to
reclaim current buffer before displaying next top.

ints. That fixes a first bug where pmcstat wasn't using the old
cpumask_t interface and now also brings the full support for more
than 32 cpus.
While here, make the functions pmcstat_clone_event_descriptor() and
pmcstat_get_cpumask() private to pmcstat.
The problem of assuming cpu dense masks still persists and should be
eventually fixed, as reported by avg.

This will allow top monitoring using socket/ssh tunnelling
of system without local symbols.

- Move the file read in the event loop
- Initialize and clean log in all cases
- Preserve global stats value during top refresh
- Fix the rtld/line resolver that ignore '-r' prefix
- Support socket for '-R' (server mode)
- Display the statistics when exiting top mode
Although groff_mdoc(7) gives another impression, this is the ordering
most widely used and also required by mdocml/mandoc.

pmc_flush_logfile is now non-blocking and just ask the kernel
to shutdown the file. From that point, no more data is
accepted by the log thread and when the last buffer is flushed
the file is closed.
This will remove a deadlock between pmcstat asking for
flush while it cannot flush the pipe itself.
