  Modified files:
    sbin/sysctl          sysctl.8 sysctl.c 
  Log:
  Try to make sysctl options slightly more orthogonal:
  
   - introduce a -o option that displays opaque variables.
   - introduce a -x option that displays opaque variables in full.
   - deprecate -A in favor of -ao and -X in favor of -ax.
   - remove -A and -X from usage() and SYNOPSIS (but not from DESCRIPTION).
   - ignore -a if one or more variables were listed on the command line.
   - deprecate -w, it is not needed to determine the user's intentions.
   - some language and style cleanup in the man page.
  
  This commit should not break any existing scripts.
