Correct buffer_bytes > INT_MAX on BSD/amd64. (#712)

* Correct buffer_bytes > INT_MAX on BSD/amd64.

The sysctl vfs.bufspace returns either an int or a long, depending on
the value.  Large values of vfs.bufspace will result in error messages
like:

  couldn't get meminfo: cannot allocate memory

This will detect the returned data type, and cast appropriately.

* Added explicit length checks per feedback.

* Flatten Value() to make it easier to read.

* Simplify per feedback.

* Fix style.

* Doc updates.
