6105f81565 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.

d0b8aabb19 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).

369a22fab1 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).

9a2402bc41 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.

750f8dc963 Removed references to pathconf-related variables that were never handled 
by sysctl and never can be in their documented form (kern.name_max would
have to become fs.filesystemname.name_max, etc.).

Added missing references to user.stream_max and user.tzname_max.  These
seem to misnamed.  <sys/sysconf.h> says that they correspond to POSIX2
names, but the sysconf names don't have POSIX2 or "posix2" like all the
other POSIX2 names.
