sensors, algorithm and sysfs

Hi all,

I plan to modify sensors so that it doesn't display the algorithm by
default.

Back in time, I once proposed that adapter and algorithm shouldn't be
displayed by default. It was objected that they were very useful for
debugging purposes (i.e. analyze user reports). I had to agree and
although I added an option to hide adapter and algorithm, it wasn't the
default.

With sysfs, things have changed a bit, because sysfs usually doesn't
provide the algorithm. I think that most users get confused by the
message shown, although we know it isn't an error. This is the reason
why I would like not to display it by default.

This time, I don't think that it raises any problem related to the
ability to debug/support, because we can deduce the algorithm from the
adapter.

For now we have:
default : display both adapter and algorithm
-A      : hide both

I propose:
default : display adapter only
-A      : hide both
-a      : display both

Anyone speak up if you have counterarguments.
