Reduces the amount of data written to temporary files.
The 3-level stack has to do a simple reduce after 4352 input files, for
a normal file sort this is 35GB of data or about 500 million records.
This needs about 50 open fd's - which should be ok.
Clearly the merge sort could process more input files in one go - speeding
up the sort, but at some point the number of input files would exceed
whatever limit was applied.
for substitution patterns. This (perhaps coupled with the
new handling of .for variables in ${:U<value>...) caused interesting
results for lines like:
.for file in ${LIST}
for-subst: ${file:S;^;${here}/;g}
add a unit-test to keep an eye on this.
Split the merge sort so that fsort() can pass the 'FILE *' of the temporary
files to be merged into the merge code.
Don't rely on realloc() not moving the end address of a buffer!
Rework merge sort so that it sorts pointers to 'struct mfile' and only
copies about sort record descriptors.
No functional change intended.
Pfsync interface exposes change in the pf(4) over a pseudo-interface, and can
be used to synchronise different pf.

No objection on tech-net@
This commit mostly adds code written by Claudio Jeker for OpenBSD to
support sysctl in the interface printing parts (-i, -I, -w). The port has
been ported to NetBSD with tiny adjustments -- of course all bugs etc.
are mine.
Also add and document a -X flag to force sysctl usage. The documentation
notes this flag may be removed at any time and its presence should not be
relied on.
Some misc. comments/#ifdef changes/code snippet moves as well.
Please note that no functionality should change as the routing and
interface printing code is still not fully supported.

This frees a byte value to use for 'end of key' (to correctly sort
short keys) while still having a weight assigned to the field sep.
(Unless -t is given, the field sep is in the field data.)
Do reverse sorts by writing the output file in reverse order (rather
than reversing the sort - apart from merges).
All key compares are now unweighted.
For 'sort -u' mark duplicates keys during the sort and don't write
to the output.
Use -S to mean a posix sort - where equal keys are sorted using the
raw record (rather than being kept in the original order).
For 'sort -f' (no keys) generate a key of the folded data (as for -n
-i and -d), simplifies the code and allows a 'posix' sort.
Use .MAKE.LEVEL to track recursion.
The first instance of make will have .MAKE.LEVEL 0, which
can be handy for excluding rules which should not apply
in a sub-make.
gmake and freebsd's make have a similar mechanism, but each
uses a different variable to track it. Since we cannot be
compatible with both, we allow the makefiles to cope if they want
by handling the export of .MAKE.LEVEL+1 in Var_Set().
