Import OpenBSD's sysctl hardware sensors framework.
This commit includes the following core components: * sample configuration file for sensorsd * rc(8) script and glue code for sensorsd(8) * sysctl(3) doc fixes for CTL_HW tree * sysctl(3) documentation for hardware sensors * sysctl(8) documentation for hardware sensors * support for the sensor structure for sysctl(8) * rc.conf(5) documentation for starting sensorsd(8) * sensor_attach(9) et al documentation * /sys/kern/kern_sensors.c o sensor_attach(9) API for drivers to register ksensors o sensor_task_register(9) API for the update task o sysctl(3) glue code o hw.sensors shadow tree for sysctl(8) internal magic * <sys/sensors.h> * HW_SENSORS definition for <sys/sysctl.h> * sensors display for systat(1), including documentation * sensorsd(8) and all applicable documentation The userland part of the framework is entirely source-code compatible with OpenBSD 4.1, 4.2 and -current as of today. All sensor readings can be viewed with `sysctl hw.sensors`, monitored in semi-realtime with `systat -sensors` and also logged with `sensorsd`. Submitted by: Constantine A.
