[GSoC'21 Weekly Update #8] Sound mixer improvements

Hello,

Last week I did the following:

sound(4):

- Implemented a new read-only sysctl to report the playback/recording
  mode of the sound device (dev.pcm.X.mode). The sysctl values are:

  1=mixer, 2=play, 4=rec. These values can also be OR'ed together if
  more than one mode is supported.

mixer(3):

- Added functions to make user-defined controls.

mixer(8):

- Made /dev/sndstat "useless" since with the new sysctl we can get all
  the information it provides.

Documentation:

- Worked on the man pages for mixer(3) and mixer(8).

Also on the 21st of July, my mute ioctl patch for sound(4) got merged
into upstream:
