Allow setting of variables of type dev_t by indicating the name of
a special file on the command line, eg:
sysctl kern.dumpdev=/dev/ad1s1b

In parse(), when a value is given for a CTLTYPE_QUAD variable,
newval and newsize erroneously fail to be set because of an early
"break".

show_var() contains code that duplicates the functionality of the
oidfmt() function.

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.

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).

Perform random drive-by style cleanups, and rewrite a while loop that
offended my artistic sensibilities.

Try to make sysctl options slightly more orthogonal:

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.
