Add API to control audio device parameters exposed by sndiod.

The API exposes controls of modern audio hardware and sndiod software
volume knobs in a uniform way. Hardware knobs are exposed through
sndiod. Multiple programs may use the controls at the same time
without the need to continuously scan the controls.

For now sndiod exposes only its own controls and the master output and
input volumes of the underlying hardware (if any), i.e. those
typically exposed by acpi volume keys.

Switch time_t, ino_t, clock_t, and struct kevent's ident and data
members to 64bit types. Assign new syscall numbers for (almost
all) the syscalls that involve the affected types, including anything
with time_t, timeval, itimerval, timespec, rusage, dirent, stat,
or kevent arguments. Add a d_off member to struct dirent and replace
getdirentries() with getdents(), thus immensely simplifying and
accelerating telldir/seekdir. Build perl with -DBIG_TIME.

DANGER: ABI incompatibility. Updating to this kernel requires extra
work or you won't be able to login: install a snapshot instead.

Much assistance in fixing userland issues from deraadt@ and tedu@

Currently midi capable programs can control midi hardware, but
cannot cooperate with other programs. The aim of this change is
to allow any program to send midi data to other programs as they
were midi hardware. For instance, this change should solve the
longstanding problem of using a midi sequencer with software
synthesizers. More precisely:

- new midicat(1) utility (actually hardlink to aucat(1)).
it creates software midi thru boxes, allowing programs
to send midi messages to other programs as they were
midi(4) hardware.

- new midi api in libsndio (see mio_open(3)), to access
midi(4) devices and midicat(1) sockets in a uniform way.

- new device naming scheme <service>:<unit>[.<option>],
common to audio and midi.

- new sndio(7) manual describing concepts and naming

The current audio device naming still works, but people having
scripts or configuration files containing device names could read
the sndio(7) man page and slowly start updating device names.
