Fix usage example in kvprintf(9) and its copy in libstand(3): trailing '\n'
in bitfield argument is wrong, as it will be treated as bit 10, causing any
code printing >=10 bits with bit 10 on as having a trailing comma.

Newline (intended one) should be part of the format string (already present
in the examples).

Also fix grammar and kill EOL whitespace in comment while here.

Extend the meaning of the CTLFLAG_TUN flag to automatically check if
there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.

Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.

Rework the EARLY_PRINTF mechanism. Instead of defining a special eprintf()
routine, now a platform can provide a pointer to an early_putc() routine
which is used instead of cn_putc(). Control can be handed off from early
printf support to standard console support by NULLing out the pointer
during standard console init.

This leverages all the existing error reporting that uses printf calls,
such as panic() which can now be usefully employed even in early
platform init code (useful at least to those who maintain that code and
build kernels with EARLY_PRINTF defined).

Implement generic support for early printf. Thought I can't find the
paper trail now, this patch is similar to one posted for one of the
preliminary versions of a new armv6 port. I took them and made them
more generic. Option not enabled by default since each board/port has
to provide its own eputc, and possibly do other things as well...
