sbin: Remove ancient SCCS tags.

Remove ancient SCCS tags from the tree, automated scripting, with two
minor fixup to keep things compiling. All the common forms in the tree
were removed with a perl script.

dmesg: Better wording from review

I pushed the last changes before I'd noticed the better wording
suggestions in the review. Also include a note that not all lines will
have a timestampe. Some multi-line messages are generated with sbuf, and
when those are pushed, only the first line will have the
timestamp. Document this quirky behavior as well since fixing it likely
won't happen soon. CAM periph drivers generate all the lines in their
announce message together so they aren't intermingled with other things,
for example.

msgbuf: Allow microsecond granularity timestamps

Today, kern.msgbuf_show_timestamp=1 will give 1 second granularity
timestamps on dmesg lines. When kern.msgbuf_show_timestamp=2, we'll
produce microsecond level graunlarity.
For example:
old (== 1):
[13] Dual Console: Video Primary, Serial Secondary
[14] lo0: link state changed to UP
[15] bxe0: NIC Link is Up, 10000 Mbps full duplex, Flow control: ON - receive & transmit
[15] bxe0: link state changed to UP
new (== 2):
[13.807015] Dual Console: Video Primary, Serial Secondary
[14.544150] lo0: link state changed to UP
[15.272044] bxe0: NIC Link is Up, 10000 Mbps full duplex, Flow control: ON - receive & transmit
[15.272052] bxe0: link state changed to UP

dmesg: Document kern.msgbuf_show_timestamp

kern.msgbuf_show_timestamp=1 turns on timestamps in kernel's message

Renumber copyright clause 4

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Add support for 'dmesg -c' which clears the dmesg buffer after it has
been printed. This provides compatibility with other *nix systems
(including Linux).

While here use stdbool booleans for 'all'.

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.
