src/usr.bin/sys_info: sys_info.1 sys_info.sh
Log Message:
Get rid of the arg sorting - it doesn't work properly, and makes it
impossible to support component names containing embedded \n's (the
similar embedded space problem would have been trivial to fix.)
Deleting the sorting makes those issues moot, the args are no longer
processed, hence can be anything.
An alternative would be to sort the results - but that would separate
the -v output from the real output (-v stuff is not rationally sortable)
and also makes it much more difficult to get the error code for an
unknown component (like one containing an embedded \n !) as the pipe
to strt that would be used would cause the while loop to run in a sub-shell
(effectively.)
