76b479177d Make the implementation and documentation agree. Specifically:
- document that sysctl() and sysctlbyname() return 0 on success

 - if the provided buffer is too small, set errno to ENOMEM and return -1
   instead of returning ENOMEM.

ed7cc86037 Turn off replies to ICMP echo requests for broadcast and multicast
addresses by default.

Add a knob "icmp_bmcastecho" to "rc.network" to allow this
behaviour to be controlled from "rc.conf".

Document the controlling sysctl variable "net.inet.icmp.bmcastecho"
in sysctl(3).

5d38db42b8 Made this about as (in)complete as sysctl.8.
- removed references to nonexistent pathconf-related variables.
- document everything in CTL_MACHDEP(more than in sysctl.8) and
  80% of the things in CTL_KERN (same as in sysctl.8).

5e0b8a5234 Correctly use .Fn instead of .Nm to reference function names
in a bunch of man pages.

Use the correct .Bx  (BSD UNIX) or .At (AT&T UNIX) macros
instead of explicitly specifying the version in the text
in a bunch of man pages.

f153098d8f Fixed a bunch of man page cross references that were
in the main text of various man pages.

Thanks to Warner Losh for adding an option to manck to allow
it to scan the entire man page looking for bogus xrefs, instead
of just checking the SEE ALSO section.
