Make the distinction between sysctl kernel environment variables and
device.hints kernel environment variables when disabling ACPI.
Some users are getting confused when they see hint.acpi.0.disabled.
They are confusing it with a sysctl MIB.
Finally, add a reference for device.hints(5) and kenv(1)
in the "SEE ALSO" section of the man page.
