Have lockstat(1) trace locks by name rather than by address.
Previously, lockstat(1) would use a lock's address as its identifier when
consuming data describing lock contention and hold events. After collecting
the requested data, it would use ksyms(4) to resolve lock addresses to
names. Of course, this doesn't work too well for locks contained in
dynamically-allocated memory. This change modifies lockstat(1) to trace the
lock names obtained from the base struct lock_object instead, leading to
output that is generally much more useful.
This change also removes the -c option, which is used to coalesce data for
locks in an array. It's not possible to support this option without also
tracing lock addresses, and since lock arrays in which the lock names are
distinct are not very common in FreeBSD, it's simpler to just remove the
option.

several lockstat improvements
0. For spin events report time spent spinning, not a loop count.
While loop count is much easier and cheaper to obtain it is hard
to reason about the reported numbers, espcially for adaptive locks
where both spinning and sleeping can happen.
So, it's better to compare apples and apples.
1. Teach lockstat about FreeBSD rw locks.
This is done in part by changing the corresponding probes
and in part by changing what probes lockstat should expect.
2. Teach lockstat that rw locks are adaptive and can spin on FreeBSD.
3. Report lock acquisition events for successful rw try-lock operations.
4. Teach lockstat about FreeBSD sx locks.
Reporting of events for those locks completely mirrors
rw locks.
5. Report spin and block events before acquisition event.
This is behavior documented for the upstream, so it makes sense to stick
to it. Note that because of FreeBSD adaptive lock implementations
both the spin and block events may be reported for the same acquisition
while the upstream reports only one of them.
