MFC 328134: Update various statements in vmstat(8) to match reality.
- The process stats are actually thread counts rather than process counts. - Simplify various descriptions to remove mention of stats that are updated every 5 seconds (all VM related stats are now "instant", only the load average is updated every 5 seconds). - Don't make any mention of special treatment for processes that have been active in the last 20 seconds. We don't track that stat. - Rework the description of active virtual memory. Call it mapped virtual memory and explicitly point out it is not the same as the active page queue (which corresponds to "Active" in top(1)), and also hint at the possible bogusness of the value (e.g. if a process maps a single page out of a multiple GB file, the entire file's size is considered mapped). - Simplify a few descriptions that implied their output was a value per interval. All of the "rate" values are per-second rates scaled across the interval. - Update a few comments for 'struct vmtotal' along similar lines.

MFC 283624,283630: Export a list of VM objects in the system via a sysctl. The list can be examined via 'vmstat -o'. It can be used to determine which files are using physical pages of memory and how much each is using.

MFC 269727: Update vmstat usage for last-argument count/wait parameters
Correct the usage in both the manpage and in usage() to indicate that the wait interval and repetition count may be given either with the respective -w/-c arguments, or as the final positional arguments. [0]
The corresponding code to implement the positional arguments has been conditional on the (always-enabled) BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY macro since the original 4.4-lite import. It's no longer reasonable to remove the functionality, so remove the macro and conditional instead.
Note that multiple disks may be given on the command line.
While here, sort arguments and apply minor mdoc fixes.
