2a065c7bf0 Allow sysctl to filter boot and runtime tunables.
Add the following flags to sysctl:
 -W  - show only writable sysctls
 -T  - show only tuneable sysctls

This can be used to create a /var/run/sysctl.boot to
compare set tunables versus booted tunables.

e367b167d9 Implement the "-i" option to sysctl(8), to ignore failures while
retrieving individual OIDs.  This allows the same list of OIDs to be
passed to sysctl(8) across different systems where particular OIDs may not
exist, and still get as much information as possible from them.

4af9918bc0 Import OpenBSD's sysctl hardware sensors framework.
This commit includes the following core components:

 * sample configuration file for sensorsd
 * rc(8) script and glue code for sensorsd(8)
 * sysctl(3) doc fixes for CTL_HW tree
 * sysctl(3) documentation for hardware sensors
 * sysctl(8) documentation for hardware sensors
 * support for the sensor structure for sysctl(8)
 * rc.conf(5) documentation for starting sensorsd(8)
 * sensor_attach(9) et al documentation
 * /sys/kern/kern_sensors.c
   o sensor_attach(9) API for drivers to register ksensors
   o sensor_task_register(9) API for the update task
   o sysctl(3) glue code
   o hw.sensors shadow tree for sysctl(8) internal magic
 * <sys/sensors.h>
 * HW_SENSORS definition for <sys/sysctl.h>
 * sensors display for systat(1), including documentation
 * sensorsd(8) and all applicable documentation

The userland part of the framework is entirely source-code
compatible with OpenBSD 4.1, 4.2 and  -current as of today.

All sensor readings can be viewed with `sysctl hw.sensors`,
monitored in semi-realtime with `systat -sensors` and also
logged with `sensorsd`.

attempting to get or set a sysctl not present in the kernel.

89ee13ec01 Document the existence of machdep.guessed_bootdev, as suggested
by Sheldon.
For a detailed description look at the commit log for sysctl.c
rev.1.42 -- i do not think it is appropriate to put the full
description in this manpage, and the "boot" and "loader" manpages
where this description might go are also missing a description of
a number of similar variables, so i think this it is ok to limit
documentation to this now, and update it later when I (or someone
else) have a chance to revise "boot" and "loader".

e39284a688 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.

c304204fd4 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).

fb2240a5b3 Remove xref to blackhole(4). sysctl has nothing to do with
blackhole(4), except that blackhole(4) uses sysctl's.  This xref
obviously isn't appropriate unless we want to xref all the other man
pages which mention sysctls, which we obviously don't (we may want to
list those sysctls, but that's another story).

98fe4d655a 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.
