killall(1): Clarify -d, -s and -v options

-d and -v are not equivalent options. The former is more verbose than the
latter and the former does not actually send the signals while the latter does.
Let them have their own paragraphs.

From the point of view of the output, -v is equivalent to -s, so describe them
close to each other. The difference is that former actually sends the signals
and the latter doesn't.

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.

Add support for the arbitrary named jail parameters used by jail_set(2)
and jail_get(2). Jail(8) can now create jails using a "name=value"
format instead of just specifying a limited set of fixed parameters; it
can also modify parameters of existing jails. Jls(8) can display all
parameters of jails, or a specified set of parameters. The available
parameters are gathered from the kernel, and not hard-coded into these
programs.

Small patches on killall(1) and jexec(8) to support jail names with
jail_get(2).

# 8750ed5f 28-Aug-2000 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

After positive feedback from a few folks, activate a switchover to
using killall.c instead of the perl version that depends on procfs.
The C version uses sysctl(). The program is based on a hack that was
originally written about 6 years ago and has evolved somewhat since then.
(which is why it is a superset of killall.pl, rather than being a clone.)
