Rename the `minor' argument of make_dev(9) to `unit'.
To prevent any further confusion about device minor and unit numbers,
we'd better just refer to device unit numbers. Many people still think
the numbers we show inside devfs have any relation to the numbers passed
to make_dev(9), which is not the case.
