mixer: remove volume backwards compat, add % interpretation
The current situation is fairly confusing, where an integer is interpreted as a percent until you slap a decimal on it and magically it becomes an absolute value.
Let's have a flag day in 14.0 and remove this shim entirely. Setting with percent can still be useful, so allow a trailing '%' to indicate as such. As a side effect, we tighten down the format allowed in the volume a little bit by ensuring there's no trailing garbage after the value once it's separated into left and right components.

Chase mixer(8) command-line interface changes
FreeBSD 14.0 is going to ship with a new implementation of the mixer(8) command. Unfortunately, in order to support new features like mute, the command-line interface of the new implementation is not backwards compatible.
Update all the remaining documentation and scripts in the src tree to use the new syntax.
While here, document in usbhidaction.1 that the mute functionality is now supported.

While faintly amusing the first time, this might just cause confusion for folks, and in addition it's not the most useful of tips, so doesn't add much.
Therefore it seems prudent to get rid of it.

A few corrections and clarifications to r343406.
- Use "in" instead of "on" when referring to directory and UFS partition. - Switch from hw.physmem to hw.realmem and add a description to distinguish the two. - Explain why the "df" command is having trouble displaying ZFS sizes correctly. Add a bit more descriptive text to help why the output of "zfs list -o space" should be used. - Switch to vmstat instead of iostat display for systat(1) as it shows more information on one screen. Describe what is displayed based on the text of the man page. Change the list of the other values accordingly. - Sort the flags to "zfs destroy" alphabetically.

Add ZFS usage tips to freebsd-tips.
Add a bunch of examples on how to use ZFS features like: - listing available space, - setting and displaying a userquota, - displaying pool I/O statistics and pool history, - displaying the compression ratio for a dataset, - various list options (sorting, removing headers), - performing a dry-run of a snapshot delete, - removing a range of snapshots, - setting a custom property, - preventing removal of a snapshot with ZFS holds, - permission sets for zfs send/receive.
Additionally, clarify the existing examples a bit when it comes to displaying space by mentioning UFS explicitly. Other examples include displaying I/O in top(1), querying sysctl(8) for active CPUs and available RAM. Mention systat(1) and its options, too. While here, reformat the example to upload a dmesg(8) a bit to wrap properly.
Thanks to Allan Jude for his help with some of the ZFS examples.
