sysmon_envsys_create() and sysmon_envsys_destroy() were added to
create/destroy sysmon_envsys objects (and its TAILQ/LIST for sensors/events).
sysmon_envsys_sensor_attach() and sysmon_envsys_sensor_detach() were
added to attach/detach sensors to a specified sysmon_envsys device.
The events framework is now per device and configurable via the
ENVSYS_SETDICTIONARY ioctl or /etc/envsys.conf and envstat(8).
Update all users and documentation to reflect these changes.
(Part 4: documentation and configuration files)
* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.
