Fix hw.acpi.os_name by renaming it to hw.acpi.osname. The "_name" suffix
is reserved by the loader, and thus any tunable name with that suffix will
be silently discarded.
Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.
