change (revision 1.2 of devname.c on 1999/07/18), don't put quotes around a path, and use .Dv where appropriate.

Add code to devname(3) so it can find the names of devices which

were not present when dev_mkdb(8) was run. First the dev_mkdb(8) database is searched, this caters for non-DEVFS cases where people have renamed a device. If that fails we ask the kernel using sysctl kern.devname if the device driver has put a name in the dev_t. This covers DEVFS cloned devices. If that also fails we format a string which isn't entirely useless.
