Note change in the supported upgrade path. Prior to this 5.3-release

and newer were supported upgrade paths to -current.  After today's
commits, 6.0-RELEASE and newer is supported for jumping to current.
Make that clear in the UPDATING entry.  For the pedants out there,
upgrading from FreeBSD_version 600029 and newer should still work.
This represents a point from May 29, 2005 forward.  The prior date was
October 16th 2004.

To upgrade to -current after this date, you must be running
FreeBSD after the RELENG_6 branch point. This means any of the
6.x releases are supported and should work. Upgrading to current
from 5.x now requires a stop over at RELENG_6 or RELENG_7 systems.
FreeBSD_version must be 600029 or higher, although this isn't
enforced in the Makefile at this time.
