Add a start of a man-page to the misc section as a reference and
guide on (e)BPF classifier and actions. Given that tc is only tersely
documented, this is provided in the hope that users will have an
easier getting started with tc and (e)BPF. And, that there's now more
incentive for others to also start documenting their classifier and
actions as well. ;)

The tc command is missing documentation of -batch and -force switches
that are returned by "tc -help".
Add short description on their syntax and usage.
Rephrasing for clarity.
Note that in ip-rule.8 I rephrased a sentence to "The RPDB is scanned
in order of decreasing priority." The original version talked about
*in*creasing priority, but from the context that didn't make sense.

- rename section UNITS to PARAMETERS.
- break section PARAMETERS down to four subsections to cover the
common used parameter types(RATES, TIMES, SIZES, VALUES).
- add some explaination for IEC units in RATES.
- point out the max value we can set for RATES, TIMES and SIZES.

Since the get_rate() code incorrectly interpreted bare number, the
behavior is not the same as man page and comment described.
We need to change the man page and comment for compatible with the
existing usage by scripts.
This makes 2 changes:
1: Add fq_codel to SEE ALSO section in tc manpage.
2: Reorder the SEE ALSO section to make the order alphabetical
(suggested by Jan Ceuleers ).

*********************
Space at end of line removed
General considerations
a) Manuals should usually only be left justified. Use ".ad l"
as the first regular command.
b) Each sentence should begin on a new line. The conventions
about the amount of space between sentences are different. This
also makes a check on the number of space characters between
words easier.
c) Separate numbers from units with a (no-break) space. A
no-break space can be code 0xA0, "\ " (\<space>), or "\~"
(groff).
d) Use macros "TS/TE" for tables with more than two columns.
Then use
'\" t
as the first line in the source to tell "man" to use the "tbl"
preprocessor.
e) Protect last period (full stop) in abbreviations with "\&",
if it is or might be (through new formatting of source) at the
end of line, if it is also not an end of sentence.

This patch adds detailed documentation for HFSC scheduler. It roughly
follows HFSC paper, but tries to not rely too much on math side of things.
Post-paper/Linux specific subjects (timer resolution, ul service curve, etc.)
are also discussed.
I've read it many times over, but it's a lengthy chunk of text - so try
to be understanding in case I made some mistakes.
tc-hfsc(7): explains algorithm in detail (very long)
tc-hfsc(8): explains command line options briefly
tc(8): adds references to new man pages
Makefile: adds man7 directory to install target
q_hfsc.c: minimal help text changes, consistency with tc-hfsc(8)

Don't break scripts that depend on previous offset/value format.
Introduce a new -pretty flag for decoding, and (*gasp*) document
the formatting arguments.
