Fix multiple incorrect SYSCTL arguments in the kernel:
- Wrong integer type was specified.
- Wrong or missing "access" specifier. The "access" specifier sometimes included the SYSCTL type, which it should not, except for procedural SYSCTL nodes.
- Logical OR where binary OR was expected.
- Properly assert the "access" argument passed to all SYSCTL macros, using the CTASSERT macro. This applies to both static- and dynamically created SYSCTLs.
- Properly assert the the data type for both static and dynamic SYSCTLs. In the case of static SYSCTLs we only assert that the data pointed to by the SYSCTL data pointer has the correct size, hence there is no easy way to assert types in the C language outside a C-function.
- Rewrote some code which doesn't pass a constant "access" specifier when creating dynamic SYSCTL nodes, which is now a requirement.
- Updated "EXAMPLES" section in SYSCTL manual page.

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.

Add a function, memstr, which can be used to convert a buffer of null-separated strings to a single string. This can be used to print the full arguments of a process using execsnoop (from the DTrace toolkit) or with the following one-liner:
dtrace -n 'syscall::execve:return {trace(curpsinfo->pr_psargs);}'
Note that this relies on the process arguments being cached via the struct proc, which means that it will not work for argvs longer than kern.ps_arg_cache_limit. However, the following rather non-portable script can be used to extract any argv at exec time:
fbt::kern_execve:entry { printf("%s", memstr(args[1]->begin_argv, ' ', args[1]->begin_envv - args[1]->begin_argv)); }
The debug.dtrace.memstr_max sysctl limits the maximum argument size to memstr(). Thanks to Brendan Gregg for helpful comments on freebsd-dtrace.
