Whitespace cleanup.

Add a command-line option to format output for human readability.

Currently, the only effect it has is to print some (but not all) numbers using thousands separators.

Fix a few style glitches in the previous commit and make the

tunable error message more brief. Suggested by: bde

Fix a 64 bit warning. Have set_T_dev_t() take a pointer to a size_t rather

than a pointer to an int, since that is what it really wants anyway.

Wrap a long line in the previous commit

Have sysctl print out a more useful error message when it detects that the

user has attempted to write to a read only, tunable value.

Tighten up the string->integer conversion in sysctl(8):

(1) Reject zero-length strings for CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG, _ULONG. Do not silently convert to 0. (2) When converting CTLTYPE_INT, _UINT, _LONG, and _ULONG, check the end pointer generated by strtol() and strtoul() rather than discarding it. Reject the string if either none of the string was useful for conversion to an integer, or if there was trailing garbage. I.e., we will not allow you to set a numeric sysctl to a value unless we can completely convert the string argument to a numeric value. I tripped over this when I put the following in /etc/sysctl.conf: kern.maxfiles="4000" Ouch.

Output machdep.guessed_bootdev as an integer rather than try to format

a more human-readable 'kilobytes' instead of pages.
