Add a separate field which exports tracer pid and add a new keyword
("tracer") for ps to display it.

One problem is inferior(9) looping due to the process tree becoming a
graph instead of tree if the parent is traced by child. Another issue
is due to the use of p_oppid to restore the original parent/child
relationship, because real parent could already exited and its pid
reused (noted by mjg).
Add the function proc_realparent(9), which calculates the parent for
given process. It uses the flag P_TREE_FIRST_ORPHAN to detect the head
element of the p_orphan list and than stepping back to its container
to find the parent process. If the parent has already exited, the
init(8) is returned.
Move the P_ORPHAN and the new helper flag from the p_flag* to new
p_treeflag field of struct proc, which is protected by proctree lock
instead of proc lock, since the orphans relationship is managed under
the proctree_lock already.
The remaining uses of p_oppid in ptrace(PT_DETACH) and process
reapping are replaced by proc_realparent(9).

- there's no reason the semantics of the -x flag are being explained in
the -a flag description
- be more precise regarding the relation between the -a flag and the
security.bsd.see_other_uids sysctl
- describe the format of the -t flag's argument
- 'con' no longer is a possible entry in the 'TT' column
- explain that the 'TT' column refers to pseudo-terminals via mere numbers
- add a hint in the 'tt' keyword description that a keyword 'tty' exists,
which will give the full terminal pathname

As of FreeBSD 6, devices can only be opened through devfs. These device
nodes don't have major and minor numbers anymore. The st_rdev field in
struct stat is simply based a copy of st_ino.
Simply display device numbers as hexadecimal, using "%#jx". This is
allowed by POSIX, since it explicitly states things like the following
(example taken from ls(1)):
"If the file is a character special or block special file, the
size of the file may be replaced with implementation-defined
information associated with the device in question."
This makes the output of these commands more compact. For example, ls(1)
now uses approximately four columns less. While there, simplify the
column length calculation from ls(1) by calling snprintf() with a NULL
buffer.
Don't be afraid; if needed one can still obtain individual major/minor
numbers using stat(1).
